This is not the first time they rambled on about this. It's true but listening to them is a joke at this stage.

Sure that's what they're there for. Don't want to hear them ramble on about music or politics.

If Johnny Giles was a young fella now with his skill of his young days he'd never have made it. He'd be baten out of it.

Dunphy and Giles fighting about music in the Irish Times a few weeks back was actually pretty funny.

Sure back in his day Chopper Harris used to break the legs of every player on the team in the dressing room for a laugh and they'd still play for 270 minutes solid (that's how long games lasted in those days).

You wouldn't find that with your Messeys or your Ronnies or your Scales.

Ozzy said earlier that he slept with a football as a child.

Did he have sex with it in later years?

He's right. It's the same here in a lot of places. It was the same when I was younger playing hurling, I remember going to hurling training sessions where you spent the whole evening without hitting a feckin sliothar because some head with a coaching qualification thought swinging at grass and hitting bleeding tractor tyre was the way to go. Total waste of time.

Why do they have a subtitle for that "Out of Africa" segment..?

"Out of Africa.. and Beyond!"

Mick Daly · 22-06-2010 09:51PM

Graeme is leaving?

fonecrusher1 · 22-06-2010 10:16PM

Probably just hungover!

I'd say he'll be back tomorrow, today was Ardiles' last appearance wasn't it?

Nah I think it was Souness but they had the camera on Ossie when Bill was saying it.

In his playing days, he regularly made love to the ball on the pitch.

Ossie - the little man who invented "Tottingham".

Souness probably has another nixer lined up.

There's some interesting coverage/analysis of the fallout for France on the France 24 channel (Sky digital channel 513). Not impressed with some English journalist called Peter Berlin saying the Irish would NEVER have won on penalties. You'll get yours, England! At least the French journalist on it says they didn't deserve to qualify because of the Irish match. There's also some Irish journalist on it called Mark Rodden. Oops and now the French debate chairman (with an American accent) is slagging off Roy Keane in 2002 and asking what's the difference.

Watching the post match analysis on RTE last nigh reminded me of this:

The difference is Ireland had 1 prima donna scumbag in the squad who thought he should be running the show. France on the other hand appear to have about half a dozen.

not to get into the civil war again, but the FAI were treating the trip as a jolly for them and leaving the team underprepared. a big difference between what Keane was saying pre-world cup and what happened with the french team.

Yet 22 other Irish players trained every day and represented their country on the biggest stage of them all when one person had a problem with the organisation.

AnonoBoy · 23-06-2010 11:13AM

Can someone do me up an equation that shows the longest an Irish soccer conversation can go on before it will inevitably end up back at the Saipan incident?

fryup · 23-06-2010 11:18AM

Imagine France & Dem across the water out in the same week.

I'd say alot of them had issues with it, but Keane being Keane dealt with it in his (incorrect, imo) way.

It's a far different situation to the bullying and boycotting that was going on in the French team.

It's like some bizarre Godwin corollary.

ozzy said that the football was his lover when he was young !

i think that is going a bit too far

Why scumbag? Do you know the guy personally or do you just have a problem with where he's from?

At least he had the balls to speak up about the mickey mouse shambles of a set up over in saipan 8 years ago.
Sure who else was going to?

I don't think he should have insisted on going home but he had every right to blow the whistle on the FAI circus.

In fairness it was a French journalist (though with some American connections as he has an American accent and says he's going to shout for USA now) on France 24 who brought it up this time. I don't 100% blame him, though, as the Irish journalist on it was being a bit annoying and sticking the boot in a little over the Paris match. Loads and loads more coverage on France 24 today. Of course, if there's one thing the French like to do it's to analyse things to death. I wouldn't fancy being a French player in France right now!

moonpurple · 23-06-2010 01:04PM

..i reckon domeneqck would have preferred an ireland replay looking back..

last detail in domecqk's world cup...petty refusal to shake hands with world cup winning brazilian coach.... who had dared to suggest ireland france game was bad form......

france hand ball... bad for france most of all

starbelgrade · 23-06-2010 01:06PM

France have a new coach.

It has four wheels and it's took them to the airport a few hours ago.

moonpurple · 23-06-2010 01:58PM

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/23/world-cup-france-raymond-domenech

is it 'now you smug french frog fck dont you regret not replaying the ireland/france match'
