The FAI will make every effort to push back the glamour ties

[Dassa]

sounds like a plan to make alot more money with the glamour games. As long as ROI manager knows what he wants and takes firm line on it. Mentioned in the papers that the FAI were going to make a packet off these qualifiers. which has to be good news.

if they do they will probably **** it away like they always do.

Agreed,
the atmosphere in Croker on a big match day is unbelievable. Ask anyone who has been to a recent All-Ireland football or hurling tie. Theres noithing like it. Last year Dublin were playing Tyrone in the replay with the Dubs staging something of a comeback after a first half hiding. The noise level was savage and it certainly lifted the players too (not enough in the end) but it could be fantastic for the irish team too.

Agreed. I was at that game too and the noise level during the second half beat any other game I have been to in any sport. If there is a poor atmosphere in Croker the problem wont be the acoustics of the stadium, it will be the lack of noise being made by the crowd. Its the same in any stadium. Anyone who says the atmosphere in croke park is bad has probably just been to poor games. All Ireland final day is a different story. As will Ireland v Germany.
