    Very messy so far.

    According to my daughter, the French manager is called Didder Day Champs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,099 ✭✭✭CFlat


    I'm delighted with the goal but scoring against a team like the French this early is like kicking a sleeping lion. They're awake now and they're pissed off.

    Anybody know what the craic is with the French jeering Randolph every time he has the ball?

    I chose to see it as racism.

    What more would you expect from these filthy cheese stinking philanderers?

    Is it just that Randolph is taking his time, slowing things down to use up time

    I chose to take it as a compliment, they obviously rate him.

    I think that was their initial perception alright, but they do it as he holds the ball now. Time wasting was a tactic from early against Belgium to be fair. Worked a treat that day!

    That's one way to look at it! I think we should keep playing positive football and try and get a second rather than sitting back and letting them attack us. Which, to be fair, we are doing a little bit. Learned a lesson from Belgium.

    59.

    If we count them down like this we'll have won it in no time.

    Not really. The French tend to sulk and retreat when they're losing. Slightly different in front of the home crowd though...maybe...
