Too much sport to keep track of, RL ( must watch), RU, Football and Cricket to name but 4 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 The home leg is on RTE 2 here tonight, but it looks like the away leg will go to Sky and RTE showing highlights only. The biggest game in their recent history, and their national TV compnay won't shell out for the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted 14 November, 2009 Share Posted 14 November, 2009 The home leg is on RTE 2 here tonight, but it looks like the away leg will go to Sky and RTE showing highlights only. The biggest game in their recent history, and their national TV compnay won't shell out for the rights. It'll be on. RTÉ and Sky are just playing hard ball until the last possible moment. Not that I'm worried as I'll be in the press box at the Stade de France! Might have to hope there is no free booze there so I don't forget myself in the heat of the moment.

benjii Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 (edited) That is one of the most disgusting goals ever. Offside from the free-kick - no excuse for the lino missing that + Henry chest-passing (in the B'ball sense) the ball to Gallas. Shocking!

Barney Trubble Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 It was always going to happen. Pity that it couldn't be a goal of quality, instead of another player deliberately cheating. Henry should be ashamed of himself, he won't give a toss about cheating, nor will anyone else in football - but what can be done about it. It's just rough justice on the Irish as they have been clearly the superior side over both legs. Let's hope they get one to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_bert Posted 18 November, 2009 Author Share Posted 18 November, 2009 Seriously makes me think whats the point?

Johnny Shearer Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 Was a good game though. I dont know how the Irish managed to stay calm though after that goal.

red and white saint Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 lol @ the Irish......2nd rate team anyway so probably good for the WC that France made it..for footballs sake. You are a complete **** what is funny about a team being cheated out of a place at the world cup. The Irish were brillant tonight for a team with little talent and may be a 2nd rate team but if England should as much heart and put as much effort in as they did we would have won a more than one Major tournament. I suppose you also found it funny when Maradonna cheated England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 The Irish, welsh, scots love it... Really love it when we get done over in a world cup. They love it more so when we get cheated or hard done by.. So excuse me if I am not bothered at all about the paddys being done this time as I have said, if keane or duff took their chances then henry could have started juggling the ball in the net and it would not have mattered.

benjii Posted 18 November, 2009 Share Posted 18 November, 2009 I've never really found the Irish to have the chip of jealousy on the shoulder the way the Scots and Welsh do. Apart from that IRA bunch, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day one if the local nations care one bit about England is the day I may care about Ireland Keane an duff should have put France out. Oh well. Come on England Tis true....Irish, Welsh, Scots are very insular in their ways and would probably be celebrating in the streets if England had been knocked out in such circumstances. So, maybe, it's just rough justice and will be forgot about by the weekend. Had to laugh at people on TV saying that it was instinctive, as if instinctive cheating isn't cheating and makes it justifiable. His mindset was to cheat, it could have just as instinctively chose not to handle the ball but a conscious decision was made to handle the ball. What's the difference - none. Anyway, like TDD has stated, they'd not give a toss about us so maybe I am just being a bit soft this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
