Other football

[Harry Squatter]

They should do what they do in the copa America when the USA, Jamaica and Japan have entered in the past. Invite Burkina Faso, Chad and Guam. They would still be better than Scotland.

Hey. We recently beat the World Champions. Ergo, we're the best team in the world.

 

There's even a rumour Drumcondra/Home Farm have applied for automatic admission to Bundesliga 2.

[razor]

We're abysmal with the ball and some of the players are about as much use as a paper raincoat (I'm looking at you James McClean), but at least we get an excuse to go on the piss for one month of the Summer.

Finally we get to a tournament! Romania or Slovakia in the group stage please. The city will go mental

No pushovers, Slovakia. Rather  pray for England.

[chris71]

Queues outside Credit Union's all over Ireland today taking out loans for "car upgrade and kitchen extensions".

[A Red]

Really pleased for Ireland, they defend really well.

 

Judging by what I saw James Mclean wont get much time on the pitch the fucking liability

[Josef Svejk]

McClean is one of the dumbest footballers around. He provides serious competition for McGeady in that regard. Both have some ability, but no football brain...

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Imagine all the English players would be up for it. And the ones who play for England.

[RobbieOR]

Was working at it last night and the atmosphere was one of the best I've been at. We were dead and buried six months ago so this is very pleasing despite the reservations I have about some of the players and the management team.

[Gym Beglin]

Should have been called off really but I suppose the powers that be would see that as a defeat to ISIS. Going to be a sombre affair and I imagine the security will be off the scale.

We can't possibly win the game, because it's just not on. France HAS to win tonight, that's mandatory.

 

We can't even score against them, because it would probably be greeted to 70,000 boos.

 

But aside from that, it's too fucking risky to play the game. Belgium vs Spain was cancelled on security grounds because one of the terror suspects was thought to have fled to Belgium. But aren't we all forgetting that a bloke brought a gun to Gatwick the other day? We're kidding ourselves if we think that we're not just as open to attack as France or Belgium. Wembley the area itself, Christ, if terrorists are thought to be coming from Islamic community's then Wembley is going to be very high on the list of likely areas for a terrorist cell to be hiding.

 

There seems to be pride at stake here tonight, and I think this rhetoric about not giving in to terrorists is all well and good for executive level people to say, but for me this is too far. France just bombed Syria again yesterday, for fucks sake. Nice, take a swipe at the terrorists then come to London, in a Muslim community, and get 70,000 'pagans' in one place, including high-profile statesmen.

 

I'll be watching tonight, it's like an episode of Homeland.

[Nightcat]

So, Ireland, northern Ireland, Wales and the cute villagers(England), all made it to the Euro 2016. Amazing! Well done! but what is wrong with Scotland? Any ideas? I'm tempted to phone up my cousin and ask him about this.

It will be fine tonight . Hardly any element of surprise for the mad bastards to exploit

BTW Wembley is about half Indian .Muslims account for 3 or 4 percent only so I would be careful about casting aspersions.

 

Apart from all the anxst and pictures of the brave royals out on parade I expect Woys hapless  hopefuls to be given another football lesson. Masochist that I am I will do my patriotic duty and watch the fucking thing,

Bloody Jews. Taking over the place. It's like some kind of conspiracy. On a world scale.

Haha! Hendon and Golders Green are not too far from Wembley!

[Josef Svejk]

Close the borders! Build a wall! They're on their way! With their brains and their wit and their attractive women! Even their dreaded bagels!

Hendon

 

[Josef Svejk]

God, Hendon sounds horrific. All Noam Chomskys and Larry Davids and Phoebe Cates'es'es. Strutting around like they're superior specimens. Chosen ones, even.

Scotland were in that group of death with Gibraltar, Liechtenstein and Vatican City, weren't they?

[magicrat]

 

Well the half Indian bit was right

Anyway is Wembley Central or the wider borough ?

I think it was Wembley Central not the Borough of Brent.

ye the atmosphere was class similar to the Germany game before it. I'm just hoping we don't turn up and do what we did in the last euro campaign and not even give a decent performance.

[Gym Beglin]

Germany Holland game called off due to security fears.

[magicrat]

Rooney trying to sound somber, respectful and relevant

They may as well interviewed a coconut and asked it about the relevance of the game tonight,

 

Pathetic,  the poor fuckwit shouldn't be in that position ,

[s(k)aturation]

Is the England game on either Sky Sport or BT Sport?
