Hey Stu, maybe if you didn't try supporting the team and just sat down and enjoyed the game that guy wouldn't have had a problem with you...

Lads, I was at home, asleep in bed. 2 miles from my nearest internet access when I was woken by this racket.

FFS some of us are trying to sleep!!

eastern europian countries for the draw its the only way forward

i have had a dream that we will play in kiev soon!! wouldnt mind there or belorussia for a change. my trips for the next two years hinge on the 27/1. we could potentially have seven away trips in a little over a year if we are in the group of eight.. the pocket says ouch

your dead right stu and i saw theose c...s telling you to shut it we had none of that s..t in the faroes definitly the best trip ever hopefully we get some mad teams in the draw

Just back from Riga.Brilliant city. Would be great if we drew the Latvians. Latvia has my vote any excuse to go back.

Reasons being you would never go to these places otherwise unless your club played there in Europe. But mainly because none of the ole ole brigade would go there cos they wouldnt know how to go independently and there would be nobody there to hold their hand

Or even better, somewhere where they are likely to be fogbound out of it.

I believe that alright. Saw some eejit in Barcelona a few years back against Andorra telling people to sit down when they were going to their seats. Also, have you met the type of fan that thinks he's Jimmy Magee, with his one man commentary of the game. F*cking muppets.

An absolute **** draw for trips. Qualifying is another matter altogether. Every knobend, ole ole merchant will be in Cardiff and Prague.

Cyprus again

Germany will be avalanched with them too. Slovakia could be okay though. Very disappointed. No Scandinavian countries or Azerbaijan, Moldova etc.

Have to wait for the next WC draw in Dec 2007.

Get your head out of your arse. They will be great trips in great cities. Look there are knobends in all walk of life and just cause someone goes to the small trips does not mean they cant be a knobend either.

Agree with you there although these w*nkers do weekend trips only, often just the one a season (to tell their mates at the office). Can't see them doing a week day trip to Bratislava. Bad draw for qualification. Bad draw for tickets. Good draw for drunks and whoorers, though.

Great point well made. Recognise whats being said about "jump on the bandwagons", they are a bit annoying alright, but you have to live with them at every major game for any given club, likes of an Fai cup semi or something like that.

I don't mind the bandwagon jumpers - very few people can go to every game - so long as they go to the back of the queue. Also if they actually support the team not f*ck about or annoy others. See the post of Pineapple Stu for a good example.

**NeilMcD** · 27/01/2006, 12:03 PM

To be hones I saw that incident in Cyprus and both sides were to blame also. But the guys telling the guys to sit down were bang out of order and were muppets. But there was blame on both sides in my view but that was not posted here.

**Beavis** · 27/01/2006, 12:48 PM

I'm a bit dissapointed as regards trips.
Theres nowhere exotic. I was looking forward to at least 1 unknown where I wouldnt be sure what to expect. As it turns out, it will be thousands of irish descending on easily accessible cities. Thats alright, but having to stress for reasonable flights, accomodation and tickets, and being relatively familiar in your surroundings, is not what you want for every game.

Read beavis' thread arsewarrior. Dont forget to bring your inflatable hammer

Ha ha passing judgement on me already even though you have not met me. I have never once brought and iflatable hammer to a game in my life. You sound like a music snob who was a fan of the Smiths or the Pixies and get frustrated when other people start to like them (They are ruining it for the rest of us who werehere first). It happened with Arcade Fire too this year and Eyebrowy rightly took the **** out of such people.

Lets look at this , I dont think Staunton or the sqaud would like to go to Moldova or any of the former Soviet natinos such as Belarus etc. They are tough places to get points from and we have avoided all of them which must be good. Prague and Bratislava will rpobably be a double header which would be fantastic in my view.

What sort of way is this to treat somebody who contributes a lot to this forum?

The mods should take action on NY Hoop.

**NeilMcD** · 27/01/2006, 1:50 PM

Cheers for that

Great, so you won't be travelling so.
imagine not wanting to go because their might be more than a few hundred there. Get a grip on yourself! Happens with every sport, every competition. Deal with it and start enjoying yourself!!
