No point emailing back saying you can do something in 5 minutes, because that looks like you have time enough to give upperhand email replies as if to say youll do it on your terms and that can be taken the wrong way(or the right way!).
In hindsight you could have email replied saying your on it but dont actually get on it until your finished this changeover thing or 5 minutes later without saying 5 minutes. Or would that be too bowing a reply?."I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S. Thompson

The reason people are giving out about Keane is not due to a lack intelligence but because he hasn't put in a decent shift in ages. He was awful yesterday, I can only remember doing 2 things of note, the first touch lay off to Long down the wing and him showing good awareness and sharpness for his goal. He's a shadow of him former self and thats the crux of peoples disappointed with him. No one is questioning his value to the Irish team through the years, he will go down as one of the greats but the only reason he starts is because there is no alternative bar Long who should never ever play the target man role again like he did when Doyle came off. Keane's experience gets him into good positions but he just can't finish like he used to.
Doyle up front with Duff playing off him and Coleman playing on the left could be an option but one trap will never entertain.

WTF? there were only 30K people in Landsdowne Road watching Ireland play a crucial Euro qualifier.
LOL @ Chavball 'Fans' Who ritually go out to the pub spewing more than the price of a Match ticket in the pub to watch teams from English Midlands towns they couldn't find on a map play each other on a wet Wednesday night.Turning millions into thousands

There is bill going to be put later in the year to introduce Double Summertime in summer and keep Summertime through the Winter. So they would not put the clocks back one Autumn and then carry on moving the hour as at present.
This would mean Sunrise at the Winter Solstice would be at 9:40 AM and sunset at 17:15 at this time of year it would mean sunrise at 8 and sunset at 21:00
I'd be in favour of it but it is very unlikely to get through this time because of strong opposition from parts Scotland where the day is over an hour shorter than London.Turning millions into thousands

It was 90 for the 6 Nations matches and they were sold out. I'm sure there are loads of kids soccer clubs who could have used the Uruguay tickets if people didn't want them.

Tuesday night friendlies aren't exactly high on the list of must see games when you're counting how much disposable income you have for sporting events.

Then someone mentioned the clocks changing.

As far as I'm concerned our team could well struggle to get promotion from the Championship. They're a bunch of nobodies and a million miles away from the teams we had in the past. I can't watch 10 consecutive minutes of an Ireland game without switching off, and couldn't care less if they lucksack a qualification or not. They're muck. The fact that they're *our* muck means little to me.

As Liam Brady said last night on RTE - people in this country are hurting financially, and to expect them to pay these prices (particularly families who need to buy multiple tickets when attending) is entirely unreasonable at this point in time. The price structures need to be changed.Last edited by LuckyLloyd; 27-03-11, 13:03."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

Originally posted by LuckyLloyd View PostTony, go fuck yourself with this nonsense. The Autumn Internationals struggled attendance wise because of package bundling.

sense.
The IRFU sorted the ticket pricing in time for the 6 Nations and hit the market perfectly 100 for premium 90 for excellent seats and 60 for top of the stands which are great seats too IMO..
This wasn't a meaningless Autumn international it was a crucial qualifying tournament must win game against a team we have a competitive history with a bit of needle as Wombatman's post shows. The Game generated as much if not more comment in this thread than any of the 6 nations matches.
As usual Hotspur says it far more succinctly (and objectively ) than I could:

International football is all about building a team unit that can function well together these days & not throwing as many 'star' names together as u can find (take Germany at WC 2010 vs the bullshit 'teams' of England & Argentina as an example). Just because Ireland doesn't have too many of your Sky Sports media darlings around at present shouldn't and doesn't take away from what international football means to the true supporter in this country.
Maybe u should spend less time analysing whether "Super Sunday" is better or worse without Richard Keys & start getting to know a bit more about your own country.
If the 'meeja' told u to jump off a bridge, would u?

For a player Liverpool rated at 8 Million and Spurs rated at up to 14 million only a few weeks ago, Charlie Adam does love giving the ball away in really stupid areas

It would be great to see Ireland in the euro's even if they are a weaker team than previous years. I also think we deserve to be where we are in the table and we're certainly in with a good chance of qualifying. We mighten be the prettiest team to watch but Trap has set up a well organised, 'hard to beat' team with a few players who can score goals.
Your last lines interesting, your a spurs fan I assume, you followed them for the last 15 years?
As for the Keane, its ridiculus he's been great for us, and still our best goal threat.

Originally posted by smoothcall View PostI'd be very surprised if they do 'lucksack a qualification' you'll keep that attitude, everybody who is moaning about how shit this Irish team (most who don't even watch the games) will be straight on the band wagon if they get there. Same as every fucking muppet popped up when he got screwed by France, that infuriated me. I probably sound like one of those 'anti band wagoners' type but I've no problem with people getting involved when a team does well ( I do it in other sports). I just hate when people talk shit about the same team when there doing badly, especially when most of there info is from word of mouth and the eamon dunphy types.
