3 - 4 (Brazil) - 1.25 (Gaa) = -2.25 million euro

Your friend is blowing smoke up your arse!

so your the accountant for the fai now ya? first off, they will make about 5 million from tonight, 3. 3 million approx from gate receipts and dont forget hospitality, corporate boxes, tv rights and advertising. also remember, this is a 2 game set up, alot who have bought tickets for tonight, have also bought them for serbia, that is where the money is made up. your 2.25 millions loss is about 3 million wrong my friend, the fai will not lose money on this, but overall, from the 2 games, there not making the fortune that everybody says. brazil could have played anywhere tonight, what way do you entice them to a cold and wet croker? throw an extra million or 2 on to them.

remember, the FAI, under Delaney, know how to make money, what ever about running football.

Our next two games are on the next 2 Tuesdays in St Columbas College, near Marlay park, at 21.30.

Are you coming for a look?

I could probably arrange one of the lads to pick you up.

The hate for Don Givens is small minded and forgetful.

Bitter? Seems you have an agenda.

Alan, I do enjoy the banter with you on here, but that doesn't actually extend to stalking you in real life.

I have absolutely no idea where "home" is for you

EDIT: this is a classic example of how threads on here get totally off topic.

back on track , Come on you boys in green!

so,who is actually going to this game? i am anyway

Mr Magnolia · 06-02-2008 12:50PM

Looking forward to it. Must wrap up well.

Anyways, if Brasil do beat us it will be made light of, as 'it is Brasil after all'

Loomis · 06-02-2008 01:01PM

Going too. Hopefully we'll see some good stuff from the likes of Robinho and Anderson as they should be able to come out of their shell more I'd imagine with the more high profile players out

Me, agenda? No. Plus, I'm not even your problem. I attend a few EL games a year and understand a thing or two about football. So I'm not the type that needs converting.

But, as much as you are bitter about the fact that the EL is small fry in this country - and a meanginless show friendly against Brazil will create more coverage and attention and money than 15 EL matches: you should hold your tongue when it comes to Don Givens.

He may have nothing to do with the EL, but he has busted his ass off for football in this country. As a player who gave 100%; and as a manager who traipses around with a succession of underfunded, underskilled and uncared for U21 teams.

No but you sure sound like it. You forgot to mention they have to pay other people aswell, like staff???

If Brazil are getting 4 million for tonights match I will eat Eamonn Dunphys Tweed Jacket.

Cold & Wet night, your fogetting most of the Brazilians are used to this considering most of them play there football in Europe.

Your also controdicting yourself, "The FAI know how to make money" - But your saying they will not make a substantial profit?

well can u prove me wrong so? i came up with a figure that i have been told and i stand by that. The lad that told me this, also told me this game was happening about 6 weeks before it became common knowledge so i trust him that its correct.

Brazil charge $1m per game.

Much as I don't want to do it..... FACT!

shane86 · 06-02-2008 02:14PM

These type of posts came up around the time of the San Marino game, "aw fuk Stan, Ill be cheering for SM". Childish stuff.

Is the match live online anywhere for free? Cant make it down the pub tonight and this gaff only has poxy old ntl cable (not my descision I can assure you)

OhNoYouDidn't · 06-02-2008 02:17PM

For the record, one thing that fundamentally gets on my nerves is Ole Ole barstoolers who wouldnt be caught dead at any Irish game below the senior side giving out that the FAI are 'cashing in' on glamour ties like this.

They need to because people like you cant be relied on to attend any other games and fund the association like every other group of fans do.

No doubt the same guys who want the players in 5 star hotels and first class seats on planes.

Find a parking place in Dublin CC and walk out to Croker, or else get a bus.

It's about a 15 minute walk from O'Connell St.

All of the streets around Croke Park will need Parking Permits, as is the case on Gah Big Days Out, and other International Soccer and Rugby games.

zuutroy · 06-02-2008 02:49PM

Is it on live on any channel?

joe316 · 06-02-2008 02:51PM

cheers des, someone mentioned the old des kelly place in phibsboro, not too familiar with the area, and they are coming from the n3 direction so it probably suits them better to use a more northern place.

by the way, i have heard from reliable sources, that the fai will make very little from tonight. they have had to pay a good few million euros(i have heard 4) to get brazil here and are paying the GAA 1.25 million euro. so add up all other expenses and maybe you realise that this game is not about money. The serbia game maybe, but not this. These typs of posts are total crap and anyway, theres already an ireland brazil thread, why couldn you post in that?

Well then there even more of a joke.

Its obvious it's about the money. If it wasn't we should be playin over in Ukraine or Belarus tonight for experience that we need for September and not the FAI just trying to make money where they can.

your a true supported so ya? you want your country to get beaten, this sickens me

listen, i dont give 1 f**k about the FAI, i really dont. i only care about 1 thing and 1 thing only, the 11 lads that wear the green on the pitch, representing the country that i was born in. your a disgrace, you really are. take off your anti fai tinted glasses and support your country ffs.

Exactly.

kryogen · 06-02-2008 04:48PM

What kind of **** is this? no matter who is in charge of the team, no matter who is in the the starting XI you support your country

have a bit of national pride in you please

im aware of the farce that is the irish football organisation, but i have never once wished defeat on my nation. and i never will

i support my country regardless of any other **** around it.

RE*AC*TOR · 06-02-2008 05:08PM

I don't give a flying **** who wins tonight. A 7 all draw would be nice.
Its a meaningless heap of ****e against a 2nd or 3rd string Brazil side.
Will be in the upper cusack.

homerjay2005 · 06-02-2008 05:29PM

at last people are talking sense on this thread and slowly the number of people that want ireland to win is rising. its a pity that we cant see who voted for brazil :mad: it makes no sense what so ever that an irish person would wish for their team to lose. none what so ever.

IrishMike · 06-02-2008 05:31PM

I hope we get thrashed because i have Brazil backed.
Simple as that

Boggles · 06-02-2008 05:34PM

Theres your reason!

I hope Brazil thrash us...
