Imagine a home match at Parkhead vs Norway, instead at Webley

Neither would be a home match.

The same thing when Scholes and Gascoigne, i remembered good old Tony Galvin was mobbed and insulted by players because they said he could be England's #11 and Tony was Ireland's 11

Scholes and Gascoigne never played underage for Ireland
I'd like to see evidence of Galvin being mobbed and insulated by players

[Bielsa´s irish]

Neither would be a home match.

ok but under covid, it make sense Celtic Park.

[pineapple stu]

Why? The UK has worse covid rates than here.

I don't know why I keep biting

Jack Charlton stated about it, Scholes was in doubt, quitted international football at 27/28 y.old
Galvin was insulted by english players he said that plenty of times

[Bielsa´s irish]

yes but the english fa wants to play at Wembley, of course a venue in the Republic would be better

[Bielsa´s irish]

with the new ceo of FAI confirmed today maybe that change of venue could be arranged. I would love to beat Rice's and Grealish's England in Ireland

[Razors left peg]

Id agree that its not the right time for this game with the poppy crap that would have to be dealt with. Financially would it be any different from other games since there is no crowds anyway? TV deals are already in place so would the FAI get any extra money for playing England rather than Norway? Although Im not sure I'd want Haaland rocking into town either when we are in desperate need of a win.

If there was ever a time for a low key friendly to just have it as a training match it would be now.

Where are Oman when you need them?

Where are Oman when you need them?

How about Finland? They were always good for a heavy beating to get the blood flowing.

F*ck it. Cyprus away.

After that we'll know one way or another how this whole thing is going to work out.

[boovidge]

With our current squad I wouldn't mind there being as little international football as possible over the next couple of years to be honest.

[boovidge]

The use of the word Éire when speaking in English really annoys me.

I think I associate it with ignorant English people not wanting to use the term "Ireland", which hints at one country. So they'll use things like Éire or Southern Ireland to get around that issue.

I think it's often a clumsy attempt at being polite rather than anything anti-Irish

It does grind me when I hear English commentators say it, it always feels condescending for some reason

You are shooting to much from the hip lately. Very scatter gun.
