It's Gone Beyond A Joke!

**Peadar** · 08/10/2004, 12:45 PM

Lads the amount of work I've done (or haven't done) this week is preposterous!
I should be sacked on the spot.
It's theft to get paid when you don't do an honest days work. (Except for Public Holiday's)
The worst thing is, the work will still be waiting for me when I get back on Monday.
I've a knot in my stomach and I'm grinding my teeth in my sleep.
I just want this game over and done with.
I know I'll relax a bit when I arrive in Pais.
If I had the balloons now I could be blowing some of them up and calming my nerves a bit.
Allez les Verts!

You're not alone Peadar! I wish I was already over there in Paris .. instead of in work, checking this site every five seconds. I'm glad I'm not a doctor, I'm sure I'd leave the scalpel in the patient and sew him up with it inside.

I think games like this are endured and not enjoyed .. its not a healthy hobby at all ...

This week has made this site. .. a great community in the true sense of the word.

A Virtual Community which will become more or a real community after this weekend. Football is a true religion and with all religions there sacrifice and suffering, but it's for eternal happiness.

**ptegan** · 08/10/2004, 1:50 PM

The area is rough enough and there is really one one place to get beer which is just outside of the RER B stop, in front of the bus stop.
They're known to up their prices by at least 50% for the big games though.

They'll be plenty of hotdog places selling beer though.

As far as I know its sold out ... if you still need tickets, I might have a few spares tomorrow, PM me if you are interested. I'll be at the **** up at the Eiffel tower.

Irish section is in the south end but a friend is in K8 in the north section where there is apparently an Irish section of 500 fans . . in any case, there should be a fair scattering all over the ground

The initial allocation was 10,000 and we got an extra 9,000 so it's possible they're in different sections alright.

UEFA/FIFA will surely see to it that we qualify just to ensure they have decent crowds at the World Cup Finals in 2006

If it wasn't for the English and the Irish there'd have been no one at the last World Cup.
