england game 2mow night

[Goldstone Rapper]

The Chelsea v Leeds cup final
Shocking pitch after that years horse show

The Arsenal v Swindon League Cup Final from 1969 was also played on a quagmire of a pitch. What were they thinking?!

New FA chairman Greg Dyke trumpets, 'Get some youngsters in...' 15 years too late, fella...

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

i just feel its a pointless friendly and i dont mind if people disagree with me

You never did tell us what you thought of the away kit, you little teaser @brightonmark1234

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

It would be good if the England team switched to the away kit at half-time. This way, fans get a chance to see both kits in action and can make a more informed choice about which kit to buy.

Taking My 2 nephews, it's only £10 for kids, it will prolly Be A 0-0...

The red away top is miles better.

I think it's an important game to show the world how our relationship with the Republic Of Ireland has improved massively since the IRA ceasefire. Hopefully no booing of their national anthem or any mindless chants. The Irish will bring magnificent support with them and will want to enjoy themselves. Hope it's a good night on and off the pitch which I'm sure it will be.

Poor sods. What crime is befitting of this punishment?

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

i wasnt moaning

okay mate

 

[stripeyshark]

Ok mate

i didn't even know there was one

Same here.

International friendlies are so shit, I don't think I've ever wasted my precious time watching one nor will I ever.

What's the point? Like seriously, what's the point.

Drives me mad.

When it comes to international football the world cup, in my eyes, is the only one worth watching.

And that does mean continental tournaments can do one as well.

 

[SB005]

Playing Brazil away on Sunday night as well
Always traditional to have a couple of international friendlies at the end of the season
I still miss the home internationals used to love smashing the Jocks every year ( and the square goalposts at Hampden park )

England v Scotland is on August 14th at Wembley, part of the FA's year long celebration, can't wait for this one!!

 

[jimhigham]

I genuinely had no idea that there was a match. Then again, since getting gumped by Palace I have tried to ignore football at all costs. Too sodding annoying right now and I need the summer break.

 

[Triggaaar]

i didn't even know there was one

Likewise.

 

[strings]

pointless perhaps but half term and a chance to take my Grandsons to their first game at Wembley(should have been second) and Their first England game.
not to bad a price at £60 for 2 adults and 2 kids.

That is a bargain! I went to one of the first Wembley international friendlies and paid £60 a ticket.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

I am rather looking forward to it...

 

[StonehamPark]

But how many will they bring?

 

[ATFC Seagull]

But how many will they bring?

12,000 I believe.

 

[PWA]

There will lots of threads tonight about England singing No Surrender to the IRA and how the Irish totally disrespected the national anthem God Save The Queen.
So can we get that out of the way now?

Should be an open game. I am hoping to mix with the Irish tonight and have a good old drink.

We have Scotland in August, Germany and Argentina in the Autumn and providing tonight goes off fine, Ireland Away in Nov 14 or Feb 15.

It's not really a measurable thing, but I would be willing to bet a huge amount of money to the REMF that this does not happen. I suppose the only concern is that with 12k tickets given to us, a few non-regular Republic followers may be in our end. But I honestly can promise you there won't be any of this from the real Irish fans.

We'll find out tonight on ITV.

Robbie Keane was right though, it has been far longer than it should have been before this game happened again. (95)
