Quoteya heard "joxer" and "ole ole" this morning. brings a tear to your eye. im trying not to think about the game or id go mad. im praying that tonight will be one of those special nights. its now or never. come on lads were with ye!!
Woke up and walked to work this morning with the blinding Autumn Sun in my face, my iPod speakers blasting 'On the One Road', Joxer' et al and couldn't help feeling today is a day of destiny.
There's no logic behind it. There's a decent piece in the Guardian this morn' that plays on that. The fact that's there's no grounds to believe, but that Trap has the team repeating the same mantra: 'It's not over, we can win in Paris'.
Watched the game again last night on M6 having read France Football and l'Equipe and seen snippets from the French Press conference at Clairefontaine. All of this gives me confidence. France Football interviews 50 former players and l'Equipe another pile of French sports stars and none of them foresee problems. This could seriously play into our hands. Our boys want and need it more. Tonight is our World Cup Final whereas their lads play in big games week in, week out.
If someone can step up to the plate, they'll go down in folklore. Who scored for Scotland against Bulgaria in '87? Who scored against England in '88? Who scored the penalty that sent us through against Romania in '90? What about the goal that sent us to USA '94? And the one we scored in the opening game once we got there? The goal against Holland to send us to Korea / Japan? Or the last minute equaliser against Germany over there?
The names Gary Makay, Ray Houghton, David O’Leary, Alan McLoughlin, Houghton again, Jason McAteer and Robbie Keane roll off the lips. Who’s it gonna be tonight? I’ve a sneaking suspicion Andrews will get the chance to rub Diarra’s nose in it...

The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Marx is claiming it was offside.

here, here , its a really tough task but we have to BELIEVE
Think we're due a special night tbh.
Were guna have the better crowd behind us and outsing the french,come on lads we can still do it !
Ahhh
doesn't matter if we are "due" a special night or not. We have to go out and perform - and raise our game another 2 or 3 notches from the way we have been performing up to now - the real question is weather we are able to do so - Day of destiny or not.
Off to Paris in an hour - Still believing......
That alan mcloughlin goal really stands out from the game in belfast. it seemed like all hope was lost, and then bang he pops up with that lovely strike. heres hoping
Havin a weekend away is quite frankly,lettin ur team mates down!
Well done spin starting a POSITIVE thread, sick to my back teeth reading the same old bull he's crap he's crap the french this and that. F**k them support the team it's all we have.... end of, nice one spin i'll say it again.
COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!
I just hope we dont leave this chance out on the pitch, every player needs to stand up and be counted and some need to really justify their selection in this team. This is the night to do that.
Dunne scores from a corner after 25, Whelan scores with 2 mins to go..............

By the time we hit Paris, we'll have our African safaris planned in between group games...
STAND UP FOR THE BOYS IN GREEN!

I can see it now in about 8 years time on reeling in the years one all Dunne has baged the first henry hits back 5 mins left on the clock Kilbane pops up with the winner
Tom Dunne just played Put em' under pressure. Getting pumped up for tonight now. Believe lads!
Spin, go raibh míle maith agat!
I am sitting in work struggling to keep it together with excitement/nerves/tension and this post almost had me running down the corridor screaming "Come on you boys in Green".
Here's hoping we get a game (and a name) , like those above, that we'll be talking about in 20 years time!
COME ON IRELAND !!!
Robbie Keane is better than there new defender
Duff is due a great game
Lawerence will make his mark
Andrews to get his revenge
BELIEVE
I seen Something Happens in Tullamore Harriers in 1990 the night we got knocked out by Italy, they came on and sang there's only one Packie Bonner, we're just as pi$$ed off and pi$$ed up as the rest of us and a great night was had by all despite the result, those were the days
French media are expecting a Turkey Shoot, at least 2-0 to the frogs according to Robert Pires....this arrogance is unreal...Heres hoping its going to be the most memorable Irish performance ever!!
Am hoping this is one of them great days in Irish football! Hope the feck we pull off a moment or two of magic and prove all the begrudgers wrong.
Can't handle another Ireland-less tournament next summer... C'mon the lads!!!
i think when we have nothing to loose we can really turn it on!! look at how we played away in bari and the last few minutes of the friendly against poland... im convinced we can do it!!!
May the force be with you...
...always.
I'm off to hop the train... hoping, nah believing I will see a new hero anointed in Paris.
Come on you Boys in Green!
