C+H Sports Discussion Thread

Bobalicious93

We were hijacking several other thread with sports discussion, so let's take it all into here.

Anyone fancy Pat's over the two legs vs Steaua Bucharest? Not a Pat's fan, but I might head to the second leg. I've heard rumours it may be held in the RDS. Anyone know any more on that?

England won hurrah for that.

Wigan just edged passed Cas 29-26 in a brilliant game of Rugby League, really puts Union to shame these days but oh well no one seems to think so.

Performance of the weekend goes to Michael Chopra for this goal celebration alone.

LOL! Sorry :P cant do anything about it.. Block them sure. Maybe they're playing fire with fire. You scared them earlier now they scare you!

Soccer...*yawn*. I was forced by my cousin to write on my boards profile that i think chelsea will win the league. Does that have any significance?

Did us a bit of a favour there. We were busy losing to Rovers in the cup. Hasn't been a good week or so for UCD.

Wow someone supports UCD in the LOI.

Last time, I was in that old dump of a ground there was only about 20 UCD fans and about 250 and that was against your neighbours up the road who are currently in the premier division and still in the cup

So Limerick are so poor that you've transferred your allegiance to Clare. What has the world come to.:p

ah no! Limerick have been knocked out of everything so i might as well support clare (the county that gives me food, water etc) in the u21s as i need something to keep my spirits up after the tipp-limerick match

.

And i know a guy on the u21 team :P.. So dont go pointing fingers!

Yeh our support is pretty cack I'll admit.

The new ground is pretty snazzy though. Have you been?

Champions League group stage draw was made a while ago.

A
Bayern Munich
Juventus
Bordeaux
Maccabi Haifa FC

B
Manchester United
CSKA Moscow
Besiktas
Wolfsburg

C
AC Milan
Real Madrid
Marseille
FC Zurich

D
Chelsea
FC Porto
Athletico Madrid
Apoel FC

E
Liverpool
Lyon
Fiorentina
Debreceni

F
Barcelona
Inter Milan
Dynamo Kiev
Rubin Kazan

G
Sevilla
Rangers
VFB Stuttgart
Unirea Urziceni

H
Arsenal
AZ Alkmaar
Olympiacos
Standard Liege

Group G is shockingly bad. Some tough travelling ahead for United, though Wolfsburg would be a nice trip. Disappointed we didn't draw the Circus though. OT would have been rocking. Oh well, we'll just have to knock them out at a later stage then

Handy groups for Arsenal and Chelsea, Liverpool's is fairly tough. Once again though, the usual suspects will come through I expect.

Mushy

Chelsea have a fairly tough group. Atletico are a good team, even removing my FM bias support of them:D

Group G will be horrendous. I'd love to be a fan of any team in Group C, the travelling would be lovely.

Warrington beat Huddersfield in the Challenge Cup final, some match but my god the Giants played suicide rugby.

Bobalicious93

United beat Arsenal 2-1 thanks to Abou Diaby.

We were rubbish today. Evra, Fletcher and Rooney the only ones to come out of today with some credit. Wonder will Eboue be given a retrospective ban now for his dive? :rolleyes:

Wenger is a legend.

And you'll notice all bar this one have reached at least 5 pages too. So there's no shortage of quality threads made by me either. :pac:

Having said that, this one seems to be dying a slow death. Someone discuss some sports quick!

Premier League starts this weekend. Any one want to throw their predictions out there?

Chelsea v Hull City
Aston Villa v Wigan
Blackburn v Man City
Bolton v Sunderland
Portsmouth v Fulham
Stoke City v Burnley
Wolves v West Ham
Everton v Arsenal
Man Utd v Birmingham
Tottenham v Liverpool

I think Liverpool will really struggle without Alonso. At least for the first 6 weeks anyway.

A week to go and I'm already looking forward to the big one.

Also, Leeds, what a start!

Cyprus v Ireland tomorrow night. HUGE game. We just want any sort of a win, to keep Bulgaria off of our backs for good. I fancy Montenegro to get something in Sofia tomorrow.

This is how the group looks atm:

Team MP W D L GF GA Pts
Italy 6 4 2 0 9 3 14
Ireland7 3 4 0 8 5 13
Bulgaria 6 1 5 0 6 4 8
Cyprus 6 1 2 3 6 9 5
Mont. 6 0 4 2 5 8 4
Georgia 7 0 3 4 4 9 3

All things going well tomorrow, we could have the play-off spot all but secured.

I fancy us to get the win, we've looked impressive in all of our away games so far, it's at home we've struggled to be honest. Having said that, I'll take a scrappy 1-0 every time.

Well, we got the win, but it wasn't as convincing as I'd have hoped. But as I said, I just wanted the win.

The group now looks like this:

Team P W D L F/A Pts
1 Italy 7 5 2 0 11 / 3 17
2 Ireland 8 4 4 0 10 / 6 16
3 Bulgaria 7 2 5 0 10 / 5 11
4 Cyprus 7 1 2 4 7 / 11 5
5 Montenegro 7 0 4 3 6 / 12 4
6 Georgia 8 0 3 5 4 / 11 3

Bulgaria get something against Italy on Wednesday, and top spot is well in our own hands. :cool:

United v City tomorrow.

Undoubtedly the biggest match of the season so far.

I really hope Tevez plays, hope he goes deaf from the boos. That's all I'm saying about him here, or else I'll get banned

jefreywithonef

Harps were on the receiving end of a 5-0 drubbing, really hope UCD go up since they're a really good passing side with the necessary physical attributes.

Leeds v Liverpool coming on in a few minutes.

Never thought I'd say this.........but......

C'MON LEEDS!!!

(I feel dirty now)

Ferris_Bueller

Should that goal have been disallowed? This Cavilieri lad in goals for Liverpool looks dodgy to me.

Insect Overlord

Was definitely a goal. Very entertaining first half anyway!

Mushy

Boooooooooo to Leeds losing...although they did play well at least. On for MK Dons now on Saturday:D

More trials for gaelic tonight...pity my knee is destroyed from mondays session(not the drinking kind), so tough to walk, let alone run. Stupid all-weather pitch.

Play-off draw for Ireland on tomorrow at 1pm.

Seeded teams:
France
Greece
Portugal
Russia

Unseeded teams:
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Ireland
Slovenia
Ukraine

With a bit of luck, we'll draw Greece.

We could take France over two legs at a push, purely because Domenech is possibly the worst manager in living memory (though Maradona is doing his best to take that title) and it's a mystery how he's still in a job at all, nevermind the France job. Benzema has been poor so far this season, and Henry isn't the player he was when we played them in 05, although he's obviously still capable of the odd moment of magic.

While Portugal are an average enough team minus Ronaldo, the pure necessity to use 2 or 3 players to mark him out of the game is going to leave gaps for the rest to exploit. They're on a good run of form too. Could possibly go to extra-time if we're lucky.

Russia should be the team we look to avoid most. The tactical knowledge and prowess of Hiddink is a daunting enough prospect to take on, without even taking into account the quality at his disposal. Arshavin, Zhirkov, and Pogrebnyak could quite possibly tear us to shreds at will.

I'll admit I don't know a great deal about Greece, but they finished 2nd in the weakest group of the 9, a point behind Switzerland (who lost to Luxembourg in qualifying), and only 3 ahead of Latvia.

Either way, I'm delighted we're at this stage, and no matter who we play, I'll be watching from behind the sofa with the nerves. I was only 8 for the 2002 WC, and I loved it. Major tournaments are so much more magical when we're there

Bobalicious93

So it's France then.

Bring on the Cheese-eating surrender monkeys!

ah well we'll just have to wait and see how it goes
