Fair play puttin em up so quick, just in from it. Shamefully I missed the last three goals, couldn't belive it, stupid for leavng with 5 mins to go!

Speaking of Poles ... can't wait for you to post some of the other crackers you got, and those were in the stands.

Dodgykeeper

Because you asked so nicely!

Tried to upload a few but pix.ie keeps falling over and now tells me it will take 17 hours 19 mins and 23 secs to upload!

Admittedly there is 148MBb in the batch but 17 hours?

You need to use the HTML basic uploader.

Love your pics, it is a story too.
That's the way I film my big fest gigs, I capture the fans and other stuff like that which is like a photo journal of the weekend.
1st pic is excellent, it really is, that was a dirty foul by Hunt and you've captured it really well, of to work now but will look forward to seeing the rest of them later.

Dodgy I love no. 3, but what is going on in the first one, were they trying for a gang bang or something? Not into soccer here at all. Especially not in Croker but thats another days thing, I like no. 2 for Paul and the gard ones too are quite cool.

Ah, the forward thinking of modern Ireland!

smelltheglove

Isn't it just, but then my family are originally from the immediate area so we would be very much into the GAA.

Anyone here know who scored the first goal in the new refurbished Croke Park?

Fajitas!

Woah, woah woah, that's another day, another forum, and another thread

Let's just stick with the photos

smelltheglove

Sorry about the Fajitas, the point I was going to make was the first goal in the refurbished croke park was scored by a black kid, Nigerian I think, who played during half time. Probably will not be recognised as the first goal as it was a school kids game. Gaelic though.

Anyway I'd still love to know what is going on in the first pic there cos when I opened it I was thinking hang on was the match not soccer, it looked more like rugby from that!

Dodgykeeper

Corner on the far side, ball arived bit of a schimozzle ensued and the ball came out the back!

smelltheglove

ah i see cos i thought the ball was going towards them - like i said soccer is not for me.

Paulw

Well, I must say that the Polish fans made the game much more interesting last night. Very passionate and full of sport. They got plenty of attention from photographers and all were delighted to have their photos taken.

So, here's a few of mine from last night -

Female Polish Fan



Young Polish Fan




And then the football -

Just a touch




Duff being chased



Awkward challenge

smelltheglove

Now Paul I do enjoy that last shot, there is somethong about a man and that area and pain that interests me;) Call me sadistic but it appeals....

Seems like John O'Shea got his leg over and Stephen Hunt got excited!

I'm worried that the guy O'Shea is up on is 18.
Should he be 21 at least?

Better late than never, a few of mine from Wednesday night. Full set on my Flickr.

Richard Dunne gets back to tackle Pawel Brozek.


Jakub Wawrzyniak tackles Damien Duff.



Kevin Doyle wins possession in midfield.


Stephen Hunt pulls a goal back from the penalty spot.



Lukazs Gargula and Mariusz Lewandowski block Shane Long's cross.

Howya lads, great photos of the match. I've been a lurker ... so not a complete newbie ... but err ahem ... I do have a favour to ask ...

My young lad was a mascot at the match (led out Poland), but did manage to hurtle down and get into the Ireland squad photo. Armed with my 6 megapixel from Row U, I do have a low res photo for prosperity. I was just wondering if any of you guys would have a pic of the squad with the mascots or any pic at all.

Much obliged for any assistance

Cheers

Unfortunately, I don't have any squad image this time. I was busy trying to get a panorama of Croker from Hill16 at the time.

Hopefully one of the lads here will have a useful image for you, and at a reasonable price too.

LOL ... thanks anyway Paul .... on any other day the toss up between a pic of snotty nosed kid and Poland's finest would be a no-brainer ... bloody kids ya gotta luv'em ... any payment required is comin out of the young lad's education fund :rolleyes:
