Group D - opponent watch!

**ArdeeBhoy** · 12/09/2014, 10:23 AM

Er, what has all this to do with the other teams in Group D...

**paul_oshea** · 12/09/2014, 10:56 AM

Yer obviously hanging around or sitting with the Ybig lads(at home games as I know ye mean home games), they're the exception I avoid them, unlike AB - you see what I mean?!

**ArdeeBhoy** · 12/09/2014, 4:48 PM

Now, you've really lost me...

Even if a guy agreed with one of my opinions I would disagree with the way he agreed but that's a bit different from being in earshot and stink radius of a slobbering drunk/lunatic who has a psychotic need to scream abuse at a particular player.

Hey. I only had two vodka tonics.

Anyone else seen this story?

There was some kind of unsavoury aspect to the security at the Poland game, complaints about it being too stringent. Read some (unsubstantiated) rumours of home games being moved elsewhere, possibly even England, since the stadium in Gibraltar won't be completed for a while. That might include the Ireland game next September.

It'd be lily livered of us to accept. Or maybe another sign of O'Neill's luck.

I don't know what the rules are in the regard of switching venues but offhand I think it's too late in the day for a switch and their excuse is not good enough.

edit, i thought we were playing them away next, mea culpa.

Didn't Russia raise a stink when we were supposed to play Andorra in Barcelona, after they had already played in Andorra? IIRC, their argument was that not playing on the same ground meant the fixtures were not equal? Could we raise a similar objection, given that Poland have already played in Faro?

**geysir** · 15/09/2014, 10:23 PM

It was weird that a super power such as Russia (population 150m) were moaning so vehemently about what us minnows were getting up to.

is Gibraltar any bigger than Dalkey?
A Dalkey with union jacks.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 15/09/2014, 10:25 PM

It's Gibraltar, lets not get too worked up about it. They'll be doing well to get a point out of this group, regardless of where they play.

**ArdeeBhoy** · 15/09/2014, 10:57 PM

They shouldn't even be in the competition, regardless of where they play...

So, Dun Laoghaire?

Craig Gordon was magnificent for Celtic today - no chance for either goal and he made some world class saves. He's certainly given Strachan a decision to make with Marshall also in great form. Scott Brown was good too, albeit in a team who were bossed in midfield and he got his customary needless yellow card.

John Bruton supports Gibraltar.
John, along with other irish born, are crawling out from under their cold grey stones and proclaiming their love and envy for all things Gibraltarian.
