The arrogance! Shades of the Dutch having already booked their flights to Korea in 2001 before they'd played us... Hope this news makes it through to the Irish camp and is put up on the dressing room tactics board alongside Domenech's 'England B-team' comments... :mad:

Apparently Domenech never said such a thing what he said was that we were like a second England team in that we play like them but are not necessarily inferior to them. Just the media distorting the truth as per usual.Quote:

Had heard on the grapevine that the jersey for the World Cup had already been released. From the FFF's website, however, the case appears to be simply that they'll have a new jersey to be used in the playoffs and from then on - World Cup or no World Cup. But technically I was right - they have released the jersey they'll be wearing should they make the World Cup... ;)
Yeh, and I've already got the jocks I'll be wearing in South Africa:DQuote:

Image isn't loading for me here, but this suggests that their 2010 World Cup jersey has been leaked...

He was referring to our squad as in most of them play in Englands premiership and that alot of his players know the irish players having played with/against them
It does not in anyway mean Ireland are an England B side....just the usual sh*t that comes from reality twisting journalists

It's quite a nice shirt. Just hope it's being worn at home in France next summer. Their current kit is quite strange though, most unlike them...

Adidas have lost the French contract from 2011, so they're ripping the arse out of French jerseys. They had the Euro 2008 one, then that blue one up there and now another one. Argentina, Paraguay and Mexico are launching theirs too.
Now, that is arrogance. I'd like the Irish players to see one of these to focus their minds. :mad:Quote:

Its a nice top alright, i think you have to be a certain build though to wear it...not sure it would look so good on Andy Reid or Richard Dunne.Quote:
