Saw one comment elsewhere from a guy who said when he and his partner were leaving the polling booths she said she didn't know what way to vote so just went with Leave. He said he was tempted to slam the door in her face when they got home.

Living in Donegal, I go into the North frequently so this will benefit me in the exchange rate, but it's going to affect so many businesses and other areas

Interestingly NI & Scotland voted to remain but obviously are tied to Britain's decision as a whole. I've already seen talk of Scotland leaving Britain cropping up again in response to this, bet they wish they voted the other way last time esp as the pound has just plummeted to its worst level in 3 decades.

Scotland remained in the UK because the ties to the EU meant it was their best decision to make from an economic point of view. With that gone, I could see them demanding another vote and this time opting to leave. And Northern Ireland are in a similar situation. Think you'll start to see way more calls for the United Ireland now.

The pound weakening has left me in a bad way now this morning. Have talked about my business here before, but 99% of my stock is sold in England, so Amazon pay me in Sterling which gets converted over to Euro. As such, the stronger exchange rates benefit me hugely. With the drop in the exchange rate, it's wiped off 10% of my stock's value this morning

If it keeps dropping, I can see me having to move focus from England to either France or Germany.

I'm amazed to be hearing the news. It's certainly jaw-dropping. The world will still turn but I feel so much fear of the unknown. We're linked so closely to the UK and will have a serious effect on us.

Might sound dramatic but IMO this is the first domino falling in the EU project.

Bounty Hunter

Honestly cannot believe they have voted that way. Went to College in England and worked in London for a while and every single one of my UK based friends have facebook statuses atm stating how annoyed and embarrassed they are at what they see as sheer idiocy by their voting public.

Obviously those people are young, well educated and traveled people who have foreign friends etc and therefore are not necessarily the type that would have been galvanized to vote by the right wing in England but damn anytime you see people like Nigel Farage and UKIP celebrating you know something has gone terribly wrong. I'm mostly hoping that my EU based (inc in Ireland) English friends (I lived in Munich and worked with plenty a few years ago) are not affected too negatively by this.

Well, ****. UK have voted to leave the EU.

Given the magnitude of the occasion for both teams I wouldn't be over confident on Wales. Northern Ireland play 4 centre halves so they may just try nullify bale looking for extra time and penalties.

I would fancy Belgium and Germany strongly. Also I can see lewandowski catch fire and Poland beating the Swiss.

Mr.Nice Guy

Portugal vs Croatia I think is tough to call. Croatia have been excellent so far but with Ronaldo rediscovering his goalscoring form I think they could do the business.

There's been a lot of slagging between me and my dad as I backed Portugal to win the tournament and he backed Croatia, so one of us will be guaranteed a good bit of stick; that's why I'm desperate for a Portugal win!

Yeah meant to come back and say I'd change that to Poland to qualify and might change Croatia to qualify too.

Always do draw no bet

Virtanen

Yeah, all of those bets would be to win in 90 minutes; if any of them end a draw and go extra time, then the bet loses, even if the team you picked ends up qualifying. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't do it, just making sure you're aware of it

Whats the return without the Polish match? I'd be worried that the Swiss could hold out for a draw and take it to Extra-time. I presume this is a winner in 90th minutes bet and not a to go through to the next round bet?

I'm not sure, might be best to drop it and replace it with France to beat Ireland. I was reluctant to bet against my own at first.

As the old saying goes "there is always one" and it's never more true than in betting when one result will go wrong and screw you but looking at the small outlay and potentially big return for the favorites going through in 6 games, perhaps 6 games that people would consider the 6 most predictable I say why not go for it!

If you're confident enough with your picks, I say put the €5 down & go for it.. Though the England/Iceland match, what odds are Iceland for the win?

It's only a fiver at the end of the day, Iceland are 13/2.

Finally I've been able to write "R. OF IRELAND" into a blank box on a tournament wallchart

Already booking the taxi to work tomorrow (leaving at 5 in the morning

) and can only imagine the disgusting mess I'll be.

Lord TSC

I'll be honest, before the competition, I thought we'd get a big old goose egg in terms of points. So to actually qualify has amazed me.

Now, onto France for some revenge! :P

Mr.Nice Guy

I didn't rate that team selection at all but they delivered. One of the great nights.

diusmr8a504cvk

My boy Robbie Brady! I was very critical of the team to my friends but what a performance from them! I thought James McClean put in a great shift also. Robbie Brady was great as always, always been my favourite Irish player but that won't sound very original anymore!

Bounty Hunter

well deserved...bring on France!

5am here... sleep time
