    It's "universities", btw. Hopefully while you're there they'll teach you the correct way to pluralise and to use apostrophes...

    doubt it. he is probably one of them "weirdos" that goes and studies something useful that will further his career than something which will aid him in being a pedantic fool.

    Being literate is usually a pointer to a good career. Nothing pedantic about it.

    acting the prophet and commenting that someone you have never met is probably a weirdo is not what i consider gentle ribbing....and your one to talk about grammer:

    "its all good" in that sentance you need and apostrophe IT'S. its all good has never been and never will be correct grammer. also, never begin a sentance with AND, if you must, try and use a capital letter. i've never said that my grammer on here is any good, i write so people can understand what i've written, not so that its great english, but if your going to comment on others grammer, make sure your own is up to scratch first.

    Can't say that I ever want Ingerland to do well in any major tornament, quailifiers, friendlies, U21, schoolboy football, international trade talks (I know they count as Britain there), or even single handed round the world sailing attempts. Norn Iron I don't really ever want to win and their kind enough to grant me that wish.

    I think that in terms of Ireland's biggest rivals (from an Irish point of view, not a reciprical one,) it would have to be Ingerland. This would be the game where the atmosphere would be at its most bitter and when the results are read at the end of a game it will always get the biggest cheer if they lose.

    In regards of the Germany v Holland rivalary it apparently only vicously surfaced in the 1988 European championships. Then it was almost completely one way; Dutch towards German, however now the Germans are indulging with equal venom in the rivalary.
    Where am I now? I'm over here,
    I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.

    Always like to see England fail(I can't help it) so I suppose it'd be them for me anyway!
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    If I understood that properly Klein4 was supporting you rather than attacking you Livehead.

    Anyway back to the point of the thread. Living in Ireland or the UK we have high exposure to the English media. Even if I was the type of person to put what happened between our countries in the past to one side, the carry-on of their media only serves to fan the flames. So for me England would still be rival number 1. However, I've lived in Germany and The Czech Republic for the last 4 years so my will for them to loose everything has reduced a lot because if they do win something it's very easy for me to avoid the gloating and pretend it didn't happen I have to say the sweetest feeling I got from watching Ireland play was when Robbie Keane got the equaliser against Germany in the last World Cup. I was working in Germany at the time and there was about 20 of us watching it in the social room (me and 19 Germans). I had to listen to the arrogant b@stards for almost 75 mins after Klose scored saying things like "Ah the Guinness drinkers are going to lose" the looks on their faces when Keane scored was priceless

    England. And to a lesser extent the Swiss and the Dutch.

    I hate the swiss.
    just cause I think they came to lansdowne and got a win that they didnt really deserve or have to really fight for and earn.
    they seem to have misplaced arrogance that doesnt really sit well with their ability. I deffo wouldnt see the dutch as rivals.we always do alrite against em.
