Pigheads disgusted by your blase attitute to the attempted murder of one of Irelands, no fcuk it, Irelands greatest ever Irishman.

Instead of showing the obvious emotions of panic, fear and absolute devastation you show a blatant lack of respect for the great man. Pigheads quite emotional right now but its fair to say I hate you at the moment.
Shame on you. Hang your head qwytre(1/10, because I'm angry).

Which you do so in the Soccer Access Requests Forum and create your own thread on your access request and you have to read the two charters and word your access request they're quite partial like that.

a news worthy story, but please try to keep it about the incident instead of talking about soccer.

A Colombian who gave away a pen or something , that sent Columbia home from a World cup , was shot dead . A war was started in Central America over a dodgy result ... I know this is probably the worst Irish team since World War 1, and most of the players are better at playing cops and robbers outside Lillies than playing football ... shooting the manager is a bit extreme , its hardly Stans fault he took over managing this buch of muppets.

ROFL

I wonder was Staunton actually threatened or was he merely in the vicinity as some loon pulled a gun, and the media decided to pull a "Staunton flees crazed Ireland fan terror"

If our recent form continues Staunton will probably end up shooting himself.

i assume Staunton is under armed protection tonight, following that display by the muppets in Green -- what was it Dunphy said in Italy '90 -- ashamed to be Irish or something !
