No, what seems deep and knowledgable to Paul is bread and butter to the rest of us. What part of Sarajevo was he in when he was shot? Why did it cause WW1?
On franz ferdinand bridge of course stutts! :P
Are you referring to the serbs and trying to blame them? To be fair it was a chain of events really but this was the final cog.
I wonder as the assassin rotted away in prison did he have any regrets over his action as he witnesses millions slaughtering each other on the battlefield ?
So who will be our Gavilro Princip on Saturday to bring down the House of the Habsburgs? Arter perhaps with a sneaky shot from outside the box?

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Are the Hapsburg's the dynasty that died out due to inbreeding?
or what type of hat was he wearing? For some reason I remember our leaving cert history book describe him as wearing a plumed feather hat on that fateful day.
Which brings me in one fell swoop to the upcoming fateful day where I think Austria will prevail. I don't think we have anything close to the mettle of the type of team that would beat Austria 2-1
Perhaps an ugly draw, but another performance like that away to Serbia won't do it again, there would have to be something of an improvement.
You mean an improvement to get a draw?
Got tickets for this one......amougst the Austrian fans! Look for the geezer with the M&Ms green hat and the tri-colour in among the Austrians!
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Actually one quick question............if we beat them........would this be the first time we beat a team higher than us in ranking (away from home) since Scotland in 1987? They are 3 places above us: http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranki...ing-table/men/
?

O'Kane is out. I repeat O'Kane is out.
I having a feeling McClean will start up front with Walters and Mcgeady on the flanks
If Walters does start it should be up front.
He clearly doesn't have the legs to play wide anymore.
I loved this in The Examiner

Very good article, although McGeady is hardly keeping Horgan out of the team at the moment.
