Euro 2012

[Jack D Rips]

True that. Don't get me wrong - I'd love Ireland to do well but I simply think that the odds are against you.

Dont get me wrong either Holle. I agree with you. We havnt a hope

 

[HC]

I've got a funny old feeling that Hodge is going to take England pretty far in the Euro's.

I'll go for a Semi-final defeat.

 

[Farkmaster]

I'm going to be driving across the country to move smack in the middle of this thing. Fuck.

Edit: I'm not a heroin dealer.

Yes Ukraine is quite a journey

 

[Buddha]

I've got a sneaking feeling Italy might bore everyone else to death and lift it.

 

[John McGovern]

I'm looking forward to this more than I do the World Cup.

I'm looking forward to this more than I do the World Cup.

I know, it's about 10 years since I looked forward to an international tournament as much as this one.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

'08 was a great tournament full of action and excellent football, I'm getting really hyped about this years iteration.

 

[gkmacca]

I think I'm finished with football until next season. Sick of it. Then again, I suppose I'll get drawn into this tournament at some stage. But I really can't wait not to see anything about this bloated commercial business for ages.

 

[Fabio]

The magic of international tournaments will draw you back.

I'm the same, I'm fucking fed up of the hyperbole, the sniping, the negativity and how I feel with everything and everyone. I want this to be out the way so I can forget it, and start again with a clean slate.

 

[Oncy]

So stop watching the telly. Reading the papers. Listening the radio, and just switch on when the match starts and watch the glorious game.

 

[Fabio]

The only football thing I do is post on here. Don't watch skysports stuff, don't read papers, don't listen to sport radio.

Honestly I'm happiest when watching the games as a neutral. Bit shit really. I need the excitement to be sparked again.

 

[Hansern]

Think this will be a cracking tournament. Several teams have a chance of winning, but I'm hoping Holland does well.

Looking forward to seeing some of the games on an outdoor big screen in Oslo while getting pissed. Thats about it really.

I'm jealous, I'll be watching the games recorded on my DVR after work each day... 😵

 

[Rosco]

I doubt I'll bother watching any of it.

Although I think England might be great entertainment

 

[Fabio]

I'm off fir the first week so I'm going to smash it

 

[Rosco]

Ireland squad: Given, Westwood, Forde, Dunne, O’Shea, St.Ledger, O’Dea, Ward, Kelly, Foley, Whelan, Gibson, Andrews, Fahey, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, McClean, Keane, Doyle, Cox, Long, Walters.

Standby: Randolph, McShane, Green, Coleman, Keogh

The biggest surprise with this squad is the fact Ryan didn't get into it. I don't know who half of these cunts are.

 

[mark1975]

You know who Robbie Keane is Ross!

 

[Hansern]

It will be ace. Will be selected matches though, as Im working aswell through the Euros. The first saturday looks very good.

 

[Athens]

I'm looking forward to it, luckily for me the missus quite enjoys the big tournaments and doesn't mind me trying to watch every single one.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

What's everyone think of the kits this year? The black Holland away kit is ace...

 

[Fabio]

That is a sexy ass kit

 

[gene hughes]

Lightbulbs in the armpits are sure to be uncomfortable though.

 

[Hansern]

Ha, that kit look ace though.

Although if you're unfit, I'd stay away from it. It will be toight as a tiger.

 

[irishred]

BTW how crazy is it that a team with this much talent isn't even in the tournament?
Simon Mignolet

Daniel Van Buyten

Vincent Kompany

Thomas Vermaelen

Eden Hazard

Marouane Fellaini

Steven Defour

Moussa Dembélé

Romelu Lukaku

Exactly, Belgium should on paper be awesome.


You're forgetting the dmishra scouted players:

Radja Nainggolan
Dries Mertens

Also...Thibaut Courtois & Kevin de Bruyne (Chelsea's loaned out youngsters)
Jan Vertonghen (Ajax's captain)
Nacer Chadli
Alex Witsel
Jelle Vossen
Bjorn Vleminckx
Igor de Camargo
Marvin Ogunjimi

Haha I remember them kappa shirts a few year ago they were a tight fit and no good if you've a beer gut..

 

[Leo]

Olympics a few weeks later so I'm making sure that I don't pay the t.v licence.

 

[Hansern]

Why isnt McCarthy in the Irish squad? He has to be more than good enough?

 

[Fabio]

He withdrew because his dad is having cancer treatment

 

[the count]

Although with Trappatoni there is no guarantees that he would have been picked
