Post your last post here before you leave for Paris, plus your prediction (with scorers (if any!). Let's see how we fared when and if we get back!
Thought for Fri. on my desk calender: "To expect defeat is nine-thenths of defeat itself" :D
Ireland 2 (Robbie Keane, Roy Keane)
France 0
See you over there, lads!........I'm off now!
Hope you packed your green and white balloons?Quote:

3 - 1 to Ireland, with Robbie, Duffer and Reid all scoring!
C ya's all in Gay Paris! :cool:
Come on Ireland :ball:
I'm leggin it as well....
See all you foot.ie'rs at the tower on Saturday...don't be shy, come up & introduce yourself to the Waddock fella...don't have the red hair I'm afraid.
Will have a green jersey & a tricolour tho so will be easy to pick out....
See u there Breener, give me a shout when u arrive...
France 0
Ireland 1 (Andy O'Brien)
Barthez sent off for being a ponce :D :D :D
Mise Freisin
Finished work, plane to catch tomorrow at ten am
Hoping for a win but reckon it'll be one a piece, they'll score first and Robbie Keane will repeat his finale against the germans from the world cup!!
See yeh all over there - the tower - 2pm
I'm finishing work in the next 20 minutes, hope everyone here has a ball. Apparently it's not illegal to drink in public in France but illegal to be drunk so it's a matter of keeping that balance....
Here's to a great weekend...
For some reason, I feel an absolute cracker in me bones. 2-1 to Ireland, reminiscent of Giants Stadium (although obviously with a different score). Up against classier opposition with dynamite strikers, we'll control midfield and prevent a goalfest. We'll go one up with Robbie Keane getting a striker's goal. We'll go two up before the break from a corner, one of the defenders, I'll go for O'Brien. After the break, it's backs against the wall as they pile it on. They get one from Henry but it's not enough. Although I was thinking completely different about it yesterday, the excitement is getting to me. F*ck it, let's go for it and get the win, the first great performance under Brian Kerr.
Have a good one...
Well its finally here i am finishing work in the next few minutes then heading to the local with the 16 other lads making the trip for a few beverages to get into the swing of things.. Flying out at nine in the morning so i will be there for session on Firday night.. Honestly can't wait...
Predictions for the score... Would be happy with a draw..... But i have a feeling that with so many of us there the lads will lift there game and we will get all 3 points and we will really have something to celebrate on Saturday night.. Scoreline France 1 Ireland 2 Duff and The boy Roy......
See you all there at the tower.... :D
I've to spend nearly the whole day travelling with the rovers ultras so I'm just hoping its not my last post ever !! :D
1-1
whats all this neagativety, we'll batter them!!!!!!!
6-0 : Keane with a hat trick, Duffer with two, and Given will pop up for a header at the end to rub salt into the wounds!! Come on Ireland, see you all at the Tower!
Flying out in the morning!
2-0 Ireland, Morrisson & Keane
Till the Tower, slan.
trying to stay sober tonight,see you all tomorrow,ireland to win 2-1 .
Early one tonight flight at quarter to seven tommorrow morning, hope we get the result, have a great time everyone :)
flying out 9am tomorrow,
ire- 3 (keano, morrison, duff)
fra -1,

Cooooomeeeee oooonnnnn yeeeee boooys in green.....................
Not long until I'm flying out now, I feel like a kid on Xmas eve.
France 0
Ireland 1 (Zindine Kilbane)
As with so many other things, the English have set the standard on things like this. We should accept nothing less than a 1-5 victory! Robbie Keane hat-trick plus one each for Killer and Clint.
Here's to a massive weekend in "Will Young" Paree, whatever happens!
I'll go for a 1-1 draw. Henry to score for France, Robbie Keane for ourselves. I have a feeling though that Roy Keane is going to score for some reason....he looked menacing getting off of the team coach today.
If ye see me at the tower, i'll probably be one of the only ones there with a Limerick FC jacket, so say hello. Come on you boys in green!
You're probably all pretty much on yours way to Paris by now but I reckon it'll be 2-2 with a last minute equaliser from Robbie Keane (he's good at that!)
Wish I was going - sure its going to be a mental trip, but unfortunately no can do. (Can someone take some balloons in on my behalf? Cos it's a great idea) Hopes yous all have a great time (know you will!). COME ON IRELAND!!!
(Also hope I'm wrong and that Robbie gets a winner!)
a cracker in store!
france 1
ireland 2 (the keanes)
