    You're find right wing nationalism wherever you go, end of. The Austrians juts voted them back into contention, ffs. Any anti-Irish feelings in the UK is pretty much anti everything-not-English. Thankfully, it's rare. Anyway, it's not like Ireland had never been xenophbic itself.

    I'm going for a scrappy 1-0 to england or a 0-0 draw.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    can see this going the same way as the Andorra game. 0-0 HT and then England come out and play a bit and win 2/3-0

    I would imagine that there are far more ignorant Irish people with misinformed views on the English, than ignorant English people with misinformed views on us.

    Given the fact their population is roughly 15 times ours, thats a pretty impressive feat, and one massive chip on our nations shoulder.

    thats very true imo. our education system has a lot to do with it too.

    i think its common knowledge that before the rebellion, irish people were indifferent to british rule, often it was emmigrants who held the greatest resentment.

    England to win by 6 goals! i reckon - a Rooney hattrick, a Walcott double plus a jammy Heskey goal.

    Yes, i may be a wee bit too optimistic.

    Weather is glorious btw - perfect evening for football.

    I cant believe he's started heskey rather than defoe.I don't see the logic involved there

    Seriously???

    What has Defoe ever done in an England shirt? Heskey on the other hand has spearheaded some of their best results post millennium. His style of play allows Rooney the free roll he enjoys, and brings the likes of Lampard into the game. Just because he isn't a goal machine, doesn't mean he isn't an incredibly effective player.

    Heskey for me would be one of the first names on the england team sheet.

    a forward/strikers job, imo is to score goals. something heskey does not do.
    Your right what your saying as in his style of play, but 1st name on the team sheet??? not a hope.

    england are ****e...i'd say ireland are better at passing the ball than them definetly.

    just look at us against cyprus i bet we show more intent and more creativity against a far better team.

    Meh, same old same old. Upson rubbish, too slow to get the ball wide, sloppy passing.

    Heskey best player with Rooney and he needs to stay closer to the big man.

    They passed Croatia off the park in their last game. I don't see how you can say we are a better passing team than them on the basis of a lacklustre 45 minute display.

    everytime i watch england its the same though. the thing with england for some reason they're obsessed with the notion of high tempo play, they are a good bit better than us individually but I just prefer our passing style ever since the days of Brian Kerr.

    Very hard to play against a team defending so deep, Wallcot and Gerrard/Lampard off, Beckham and Crouch on, fling balls in from the right, goals a plenty. 2 centre halves are tiny.

    Can't agree with taking Wallcot off, Lampard should though and they should revert back to 4:4:2

    I thinks the last we'll see of the two paddies as pundits ....they pulled the piss there big time out of England, can't see Mr & Mrs Smith liking that watching the TV in the UK.

    The "paddies" are on Setanta Ireland only, there will be no gunboat sent over!

    SWP is going to come on for the second half it seems.

    SWP on for Barry, while barry was shíte in the first half, i'd still rather lamps come off.
