The Cox start is a bit mystifying but we know he doesn't play Long/Keane together and Trap must see Walters as having better impact off the bench.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Lads a bit off topic but does anyone know if we're in Green strip or White strip tonight? Cheers
Cheers for that. Pub time, my nerves have gone.
Nearly sure we are in green but could be wrong. I know it was meant to be white as we are away team but think we are still allowed wear green as no clash.
About to make my way to stadium now. Its been raining with the last hour, a very Irish day. Everything points to a Spain win and I'm going with hope rather than optimism. Last time i felt like this going to a game was before the playoff in paris and look at our performance that night! We need a lot of luck but I think we are due some after Sunday. I ask that we start well, keep it tight and get to half time at least nil nil. Let's be in this game right to the final whistle this time.
Great support out here and although there is a decent Spanish contingent, we vastly outnumber them and this will be like a home game support wise. Haven't heard about the suggested Cox change, would be surprised and prefer to see Walters but let's wait and see. Come on Ireland, let's get a point out of this game tonight and keep us in it for next Monday.
I heard a rumor that Trap likes Cox in the hole...
(well someone had to!)
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Do we have a player called Towell?
Apparently trap was overheard saying "I think we shoudl throw in the Towell"
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Every inch of sanity and logic in me is saying we're going to get hammered but there's always that sliver of hope that I'm clinging to!
As Robbie says it's 11 v 11 for 90 minutes COYBIG
cox will start through the middle but lean to the left
Let's give it a proper go lads!
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
I like how everybody is being realistic/borderline pessimistic. Usually we are all wrong in our pre-match sentiments, so maybe that means we are in for a great win!
The Cox thing is odd if true but I guess it's not the time for questioning things. COYBIG!
Can't wait for this game, stuck in work, just want to go to the pub now!
Torres starts?
