Lads if you turn up a 12pm the Swiss will be having their lunch thinking who the fcuk are them eejits outside. If you turn up at 12am then you might have some impact as they'll be tucked up in bed!!!
Been reading other forums and the swiss don't have much confidence in their keeper. seems he's made a few howlers in the last 3 games. Lets pepper the goal ealry on and test this guy. Morrison should give him a few digs whilst attacking some crosses - at least let him know he's in a game!!!
I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

Be careful guys you could easily get arrested for "breach of the peace" and miss the game.

Spread this around any forums you post on...don't know for sure if it'll happen, but all's fair in love and football. Might be a bit "childish" but lack of sleep and football don't go hand in hand...Ask Robbie Keane! That fat arrogant Kuhn(t) is really p!ssing us off.
THE SWISS ARE STAYING AT HERBERT PARK HOTEL. ABOUT 20 OF US ARE GOING TO HERBERT PARK FOR A LATE NIGHT "WELCOMING" PARTY. WE'LL BE THERE FROM 12PM ON. SPREAD THE WORD
BRING DRUMS, AIRHORNS, FIREWORKS ETC. !!!
http://www.herbertparkhotel.ie/location.htm#I have just images of turning up with a few of those big cow bells that they use out there, boxes of triangle choclate, inflatable heidi's and that kind of thing.
I cant see a proper protest being made though.
I was reading the swiss football website and it was mentioning that the team has arrived in dublin and were in good form but it was visible how tired they all looked/felt... This along with the absence of senderos (?) could play into our hands
has anyone other forums with the swiss point of view

"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
RTE report Dunne as limping out of training.....probably just a stone in his boot!!

Thigh injury according to manchester online - http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/sp...ury_scare.html
Dunne injury scare
RICHARD Dunne picked up a knock during Ireland's training session on Tuesday - but the defender should recover in time to face Switzerland.
Dunne suffered a bang on the thigh ahead of the Republic's crucial World Cup qualifier and had to pull out of the session early.
Manager Brian Kerr, however, is confident the City defender will shake off the problem in time for the Lansdowne Road clash.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...!
"Inflatable hammers and Leprechaun suits, & a chorus of "Here we go" or Olé, Olé"....
cry if robbie, given or andy reid get injured
the rest there are workarounds
..meant that from the point of view of cry that he might be passed fit....utter sarcasm!!!

Is this the same Swiss team that beat Cyprus at home with an 88th minute winner, that didn't beat Israel in either of its two games and that drew with us in Basel. Answer = yes. They are no better or worse than us. We're at home. They're away. We should win. We won't be rolled over.
One of the great cliches that overlooks that the great one known as "the leader" also played in Israel and the Faroes where we also lacked "leadership". We miss his football ability - full stop.We are lacking a leader in this team without Roy Keane.Anyway I'm never right on predictions so I hope that doesn't change
Ha, those Kuhn comments really arent arrogant, but have you heard the Celestini comment?! he says that the Swiss are used to beating us an he expects them to beat us again tommorow. now im not to impressed with the irish team at the moment, but if we got into the play off with Duff and Keane back id definetly fancy our chances regardless of who we got. People here hop on the bandwagon to easily, yes we are playing some rubbish at the moment, but it has to end sometime and there is no question we have better players than the swiss, so what it comes down to is hunger and desire in my opinion! they dont have yakin and from what i have seen hes a far more important player for them than either Duff or Keane is for us! We have 4 key players they have one and they have lost him! He has scored against 3 against us in our last 3 games, so atleast they have a key player out too. But i have to be honest, i would rather lose to England than the Swiss again, if they qualify at our expense again just because we were unlucky (i.e the israelis twice) and our form is out i will not be a happy camper!

Why hate the Swiss, after all evey time we meet them we get a lesson in footballing off them gratis?
wish i could say that this fact could placate any fears, our crowd is reputedly w*nk and seems altogether too fickle from my time with ireland on the box this campaign.. the 15000 in cyprus didn't seem to press home our advantage in that department, if anything the moans of disapproval likely transmitted anxiety to the players and look what happened. when was the last decent home atmosphere, holland in 01? unfortunate if true, i think we have lo$t a little of what it means to be irish..
I take it you'll be putting money where do bheal is and sticking a crisp new fifty on Switzerland then?
