Wedding anniversary today and wife's birthday Wednesday. Thankfully she is as eager as me to watch the game.

This is great was up at the crack of dawn an hour ago walking the dog in the rain and saw 3 people in Ireland tops in the west village waiting stepping ito a cab!!!
Didnt know if they were coming or going but it was pretty awesome.
NYC pubs are going to be rocking with Ireland fans today.

**TerryPhelan** · 14/11/2009, 12:08 PM

COME ON IRELAND!!! Absolutely pumped and can't believe the big day is here already. The pre-match panic set in good and proper yesterday at 5pm, had a fitful night's sleep last night. Heading into town for lunch, a scan of the papers and 'run through a few setpieces' at the bar! We can do this lads. History awaits. BELIEVE.

**Torn-Ado** · 14/11/2009, 12:09 PM

The Pub will jampacked with frenchies taking up all the seats sipping a coffee between about 40 of them.

I really really really really hope he stuff these f*******s!.

**jo84** · 14/11/2009, 12:12 PM

This day has been a long time coming. C'mon Ireland, we can do this.

C'mon YBIG!!!! We can do it!!!!! Really needs the fans to play their part tonight!!!

"Goosebumps just having the breakfast before i get the train.Been going to games since 1972 and been at all the big ones and never ever felt like this.

The whole country is up for it and cant wait to get into landsdowne early because I think we will never ever see it like its going to be tonight."

Fair play to you mate and to everyone at home. Brings back a few memories of my first game at Dalymount in 1974 (beat Russia 3-0). How much I'd love that score tonight.

I'm a bag of nerves here meself in the USA. There's thousands of us away from home who are biting nails ahead of the game. Good luck to everyone at home and hope the lads can do it tonight!

**mark12345** · 14/11/2009, 2:32 PM

To be honest lads, I have a lump in me troath reading all these posts.

It's just so great to see everyone behind the team, the way it should be all the time. I know it's only fleeting and everyone will have their respective opinions after the game (good and bad) but it is so good to see the country united behind the lads.

C'MON LADS YOU CAN DO IT!

As a mayo man i've experienced enough heartache in croke park down through the years but a defeat tonight would be worse than all those put together.......COME ON IRELAND!!!!
