LOI in Europe 2011

**geysir** · 29/06/2011, 10:12 PM

It's true to say that most of you are beneath us.

I stopped by the 'stadium' earlier this evening, or was it late afternoon (hard to tell which, as the day is mighty long) to have a gander at the Pats squad training.
One f�cker, Davo? was clean through, ballooned the ball over the bar, over the back fence, landed right on top of my jeep. There were about 20 Pats fans in the stand, might have been just 15, as one or two of them were truly massive. I had a short chat with the goalkeeper coach, Brian O'Shea (a short time but plenty of chat). He must have been a good goalie because he's not much taller than 5ft 7". Despite their preparations being hampered by a scout with cold feet, they watched 'the dvd' last night , a game that was played on this ground, so I said 'the 1 nil game to IBV' no he says '3-2 to IBV', so I don't know what game he watched, not this seasons for sure. Anyway he had a good suss on the IBV team & players and liked the style of the league here, ball on ground - plenty of passing.
I told him to buy a roll of bin liners and make sure all the windows were blacked out, so he could get some sleep.

I assume "Davo" is either David McMillan or, if you misheard, Daryl Kavanagh. Or Dave Mulcahy.

McMillan it was.
Hard to make out the names over the goalie effin' and blindin' at top volume.
Doyler? tallish gangly lad with quick feet, sometimes too quick for his brain to coordinate properly.

Slow feet even slower brain

IBV won a cup match away to Valur 3-2 on the 21st. Perhaps that was the game he was talking about. Tonight's game is talking place at Valur's ground?

**Dodge** · 30/06/2011, 10:02 AM

It is. The reason the game kicks off at 6pm local time is to give Islanders aenough time to catch last ferry back home

**BonnieShels** · 30/06/2011, 10:38 AM

What time is that Irish time?
Edit... seems Iceland is gmt/bst. I always thought they were at least an hour behind.

**Dodge** · 30/06/2011, 11:20 AM

They are one hour behind in the summer...

Kick off is 7pm Irish time (6pm local time)

I think vapour would be more accurate than gas.

That must be the game and yes the game's at Valur's ground. The pitch is minimum size but manicured to perfection. There is only one stand, holds at least a 1,000.

Jaysus, Mahon has some crass mouth, the headline in this morning's sports section
'Defense and goalkeeper - a major problem for IBV'?
Nothing riles an Icelander like a loud mouth foreigner in on a budget trip for a few day, finding fault and mouthing it.
But who knows, as the goalie happens to be from Uganda. He played a blinder in IBV's last game, the coach singled him out afterwards and described him as performing like a circus animal. No pc paranoia here.

IBV regards it as a humiliation to have to play this game away from their Island paradise.
Their coach,
"This is a tough task. We meet a team better than us. They have won thirteen games in a row in Irish football and have come to the top."

Here come the traditional putdown

"This is a typical British team, they play like football was played on the black and white television in the old days"

"They play a 4-4-2 with a powerful striker. All players on the team are extremely hard-working and may put pressure on the opponent. They are hard and tackle a lot. There will probably be so much tackling on this pitch, so much so that Valur will regret having lent us the stadium"

"We have to keep the ball on the ground and be very slick in our actions. We must let the ball roll on the ground. So we have to see what happens. I think this will be a fun game and hopefully entertain the people."

Pete a master at the Euro mind games too it seems.

For what its worth he said they look a good team, but he think the full backs can be 'got at' and he said "I wouldn't be mad about the keeper"

Fun translating the icelandic stuff through google

So the world clock on my phone is borked!

Cheers Dodge. Time for a run and then the match.

Does anyone know if the game will be shown on tv over there?
any streams of the game online??

**Charlie Darwin** · 30/06/2011, 4:06 PM

There don't appear to be any links yet. You could make a thread in here to see if anyone will be streaming it:
