[Football] Bos-Herze v Ireland

[mikeyjh]

Well I have an Irish Mother (sadly no longer with us), two siblings born in Ireland and many many Irish Cousins.

Come on Bosnia H.

Likewise, mostly Irish 'heritage' the patronising Irish love in does my head in, as it does many of them. So, cut me and I bleed whatever colour B&H play in.

As ever, my pocket will dictate my allegiance.

Given that ROI lost away to the Scotch, Have no Walters or O'Shea and are against an in form Bosnia team, I've backed Bosnia to win (was evens, think they've gone odds on). Dzecko (sp) also has a great scoring record and is worth a small dabble at first goal scorer. ROI have a habit of getting beat in these matches and today will be no exception.

Yep, on Dzeko FGS @ 9/2

No, it would have all the pretty pink fairy types scurrying for a cheeky celebratory w**k the minute it was announced, but what will actually happen is that it would all pass off incredibly peacefully with both sides enjoying drinking side by side and proudly announcing dat we oyrish lov da craic to be sure.

Yes, that's DEFINITELY what would happen

Great value, in the particular case of Dzeko.

Because only Irish people know how to enjoy themselves you see. They even have a SPECIAL word for it - the craic. Lovely people to a man.

Haven't you seen Titanic? Whilst the English people were being nasty despite enormous wealth, the Irish were below deck in the cheap bits, fiddly-diddly singing and dancing and even having josh-tastic fights. That's the craic right there - nobody else in the world has such a capability to enjoy themselves.

My flight to Japan in 2002 was full of paddies having the "craic" the whole ****ing way. Once you've heard Ole Ole Ole.....never.......you've heard it too often. Being stuck on a metal bird with no where to escape to for far too many hours with those "hilarious" chaps has meant I won't even drink Guinness any more.

Come on Bosnia!

Great value, in the particular case of Dzeko.

Yes, he's 4/1 with them - still good value for a tall lad like him.

SpoyleSports are refunding all losing FGS/LGS/AGS and correct score bets if Dzeko first (again if you can get on with them).

Cheers. I shall go with Paddy I think.

You made the point that the Irish 'behave', which seemed to be a dig at other fans.

If you look at Euro 2012, the trouble seemed to be with the Poles and Russians, but that was nationalistic and historical, rather than drink fuelled.

So to me, it seems, like most teams fans, the Irish are capable of behaving. Which is very good of them.

The key point that everyone is missing about Irish fans at tournaments is that it is not just young men aged 18-40 who turn-up; a large proportion go in family groups with granny, grandad and young kids. As a result the behaviour is very different to how a large mob of just blokes would behave, and therefore trouble is very rare. They also aren't lumbered with a "no one likes us, we don't care" attitude.

Again, if you are referring to England, you are taking a snapshot of Euro 2000 with that summary.

The FA have turned the England Fans thing into a very family focussed thing.

I suspect there will be large groups of men travelling next summer, but probably not that many with official tickets.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

It's a bit foggy. Would probably be abandoned if it was not a play off game.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

I haven't got the foggiest what's going on in this game.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Have I mist anything?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Appears to be getting worse

Unlikely those 'types' would be there .........you know, ticket prices etc etc
