Agree. Hamsik's absence would be a big plus for us. He's a more robust version of a Stephen Ireland that wants to play for his country. Good technique and passing range. He captains Slovakia btw.
To be fair when you see him play well once, you don't forget him. It's like taking one of Blink 182 and making him a pro footballer.Originally Posted by paul_oshea
That Napoli team are one of the best to watch offensively, and at times are brilliant.
As I said earlier, he's only becoming the star for Slovakia in the lead up to the World Cup, due to Karhan's prominence more than anything else. He's just gone 24 and nearly 50 caps up already. That said, I'm not sure he controlled things much in Zilina, but I'm nearly sure he forced Given into a save in the first half.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

Seems like a relatively clean bill of health so far, with Kilbane only current concern.*

Have we called up any more central midfield players yet?

Hate to be around you friday nite
What are you like after a heroic loss?
I sink into a depression for 48 hours! Spain 02 was a bad one, Slovakia away in 07 when we threw the game away also made an impression even though it wasn't that critical.

Kilbane injured for an Ireland match? Did he get hit by a bus?
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
The worst I've ever been was after the 2-0 loss to Switzerland in 2003. I was on holidays in Tenerife at the time, and my mates who were there with me had to talk me into going back to the hotel to chill out after the game in case I did something stupid. They were right too, I was furious and would have done anything without thinking.
I had the displeasure of being in Temple Bar after that game and saw some Swiss and really wanted to deck them.
Croatia after they equalised I started to hit the arms of the sofa really hard and proceeded to bruise my hand. And of course we all have our Stade de France stories. The wall over were the toilets in Whelans venue used to be got the full wrath of my right hook. The pain the next day on top of the broken heart was something alright.
Sorry I thought an article I read said he was 26.

In fairness, that just happens in general - when one sees swiss.

I wouldn't believe it, if he is first choice Kilbane will play if he can stand.

Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
That is very true. That match almost made it more reasonable.
Don't forget that Napoli are in the Cl this year so they were not wanting to sell anyway. In that group of deather with Bayern, Man City and Villareal.

Croatia? Was that the one when Suker scored to win it in the last min of stoppage time!!! That followed by the last min equaliser by Macedonia a few days later followed by a play off defeat to Turkey..................Christ how did we survive those few weeks.
Yes the very one. Supporting Ireland is not a healthy endeavour. Or good for you memory evidently.
Just a few flesh wounds apparently,
but the bus is write off.
That was my first and only Irish Away game I was at. Was absolutely devastated after the game. I remember being in McDonalds shortly after and there were numerous Irish fans drunkenly singing and happy out, oblivious to the fact that our Euro 2004 dreams were just flushed down the toilet. They all tried their best to cheer me up making it out as if it wasn't really a big deal. To me this was incomprehensible. Fair enuf it's important to have the craic and banter during the away trips, but to go around in the immediate aftermath of such a crucial defeat playing the stereotypical happy drunken Irish fan without even a tinge of sadness was something I couldn't fathom. Frankly, I felt embarrassed as the bemused Swiss looked on.
