I was driven home from work yesterday by a polski/a(is pollack derogatory?) who was in the HZL and told me the worst thing you could do before a game was drink. For very different reasons. Strang how someone could speak so matter of factly about this kind of stuff.

I'd say it's the other way around, to be honest. They had it lined up to play to celebrate Germany bouncing back from their loss to Poland, but they didn't anticipate the equaliser with the last kick and had nothing else lined up.

Are you possibly suggesting that the German's didn't plan ahead?

Unpossible.

Tbf, many of them have better things to do with their time!!

Unlike us.

What could be better than discussing football with strangers?

[BonnieShels]

Eh, friends you haven't met yet. And Paul.

I think "Polack" is considered derogatory, yes. Who are the HZL? geysir was actually talking about drinking before an armed ambush, which is probably not the sharpest of ideas, indeed, but why was this Pole so against drinking before a football game? It's not the most difficult of topics to discuss surely, so why would speaking so matter-of-factly on it be odd?

He writes for The Irish Independent. That's how he has so many contacts. He scarcely has enough time to post under his Ardee Bhoy moniker as it is.

Can you use we, in this instance? As in We humans, not us humans. The universal we, not the universal wee I mean.

Reminds me of this(affect/effect not the first one):

Ya thats why I drew the parrallel, he was saying you could never go drinking before you go into "battle". None of them would drink beforehand it would be wholly stupid. Whereas I was thinking they must all be off their heads drunk or on drugs to do it. I did enjoy when he said the English and Rangers fans were all lip when they had a few drinks and then ran off scared though at the site of an actual confrontation.

HZL are a firm, connected with Wroclaw, and Lech Poznan.

Someone unscrewed the aspect ratio and angle of that footage.

Funny how one fan seems to see the goal before it happens.

That was Paul.

[geysir]

That was Paul.

It wasn't Paul, not even Paul could foresee the unrepeatable, one in million chance, that O'Shea would/could score.

Strangely enough, in the previous video from the fan in the dearer seats, he also gave out an ecstatic groan once Hendrick made the perfect connection.

I can't find anything on them online. Are you sure it wasn't just another guy feeding you bull, telling you what you want to hear?

Edit: Ah wait, it seems to stand for Hooligans Zagłębie Lubin.

You can hardly blame them. A lot of them have no great interest in Ireland, let alone our football...

Don't you mean some, er, 'strange' people?

Eh, friends you haven't met yet. And Paul.

Paul's sound! As are the other 3-4 current posters from here I've met...
Plus numerous former ones.

He writes for The Irish Independent. That's how he has so many contacts. He scarcely has enough time to post under his Ardee Bhoy moniker as it is.

Almost a gross insult, given the status of that rag...

[tricky_colour]

That was Paul.

Must say I am pretty impressed, even when I was watching it live I didn't think we would score
until the ball was in the net, it looked a certainty to me that the German defender would get there
first. It's gotta go down as on of the great Irish goals of all time.

I am kind of reminded of when Balotelli scored when O'Shea was marking him (Euro's 2012?),
this being the reverse situation.

It is interesting you can see the fans in the cheaper seats where the first video was taken from, I think he was in
the higher section going by the perspective.

Actually I am not sure if the groan was from a German, you hear a voice before it which sounds German to me,but I am not sure
however it is had to listen to carefully as shortly afterwards the noise volume is deafening

[geysir]

No doubt Roy was in the middle of the ecstatic celebrations along the sidelines, pumping high fives, celebrating a draw against a first seeded team.
How perspectives have changed for the acrimonious Keane since the WC 2002 campaign, started out in Amsterdam.

[DeLorean]

In fairness, there's a big difference between throwing away a two goal lead in the last twenty minutes and getting an equaliser with the last kick of the game. The final whistle of that game in Amsterdam should have been bittersweet for everybody, at best.

Especially for an Uncle of mine who had a 2-2 draw in Ladbrokes.
