Our revanche shall be swift and merciless.

Eight centuries with the British will as nothing compared to ninety minutes with Gourcuff. :knight: :france:

And Mods! Threads dealing with war, like this one, are Backroom material. :beam:

The seats in Hill 16 are uncovered so if your french and you want to get back at sarky make him watch the match from the stand I promise it will rain.:2thumbsup:

Please God, Domenech, anyone, punish them for their insufferable insolence. :bomb2: :veryangry:

Where's Ribery when you need him? Why oh why must he be injured right now? Please don't let God turn out to be an Irish Catholic after all... :bigcry:

I think he is a Scorpio and he is annoyed at Domenech for dropping Pires all those years ago

I so, so hope this is true.True, true...what is truth? In these troubled and stressful times, truth is but one aspect of a heightened sense of reality.

I do expect reality to hit uppity Ireland in the face this Saturday. They must be told their place. :whip:

Is it any real? Cause that would be freaking hilarious.

Edit: checked the adresses, it's a fake unfortunately :(

I think such a move would only heighten the tension. Tempers are short enough as it is.

I nearly wet myself listening to the radio here they have a load of comedians on singing how Trapatoni is going to use Joe Coleman (joe's the guy who had everyone at Knock shrine for an impromtu vision quest) to call down gods wrath on the French.

Aparrently Trap is going to put the numbers on the jersey's on the front so Domenech and co think were attacking all the time.:laugh4:

You would bring that up.

Yeah, but Trapatoni is crazy and cute and Domenech is just crazy.

We need to get our predictions in!

England B - France 1-1. Possibly 0-0 or, God forbid, 1-0.

Or so Venus standing in Jupiter would seem to indicate.

Well done to France. :bow:

Talent will out, it seems - even if it only turns up for the second half.

Some commentators here are actually pleased about losing 1-0. In Paris, the French players might not even bother and may send their valets instead. Mind you, even in that case there's not much hope for Ireland to actually put the ball, you know, in the net.

Ah well, enough of the tiresome round ball. Time for Australia. :jumping:

Huh? Australia is getting involved?

Alright then, prepared to get whipped at whatever it is we are doing. :whip:

If I were Irish, I'd be outraged!

But I'm not, so I'm not going to get to worked up. Sad day for the beautiful game, though. :shame:

I don't see what complaints Ireland could have. Henry won the game with a legitimate 3 pointer in added time.

It is all very dissapointing. Even if you win, the fun and pride are gone. :shame:

Meanwhile, as unsympathitic as it may be to post the video below, it should serve to add some sense of perspective.

Ireland-Georgia, only a few months ago, from this same qualification campaign. The referee awards Ireland a penalty, after an Irish player (Keane?) raises his hand to ask for a penalty, ostensibly accusing a Georgian player of playing the ball with his arm. Very unsportsmanlike, and an amazingly incorrect refreeing decision. The score was 1-0 for Georgia with less than twenty minutes left. Ireland converted the penalty and went on to win the game.

It is a near copy, mirrored, of what happened yesterday. This game, the Irish did not want to have replayed, and they do not consider the crime of the century.

Indeed. It's traditional.
