Let's hope this is the exception, the players are well capable (this is Scotland who although are decent are no world beaters themselves) and were at home with our campaign on the line, time for the players / mon to man the fuc up and make the nation believe in the national team again with a real performance of merit... Aka One worth staying up for please lads

They're more entertaining now than when Trapattoni was over them but that wouldn't take much!

2nd year anniversary of me making my account and this is also my 500th post. Only really got into Boards properly over the last few months and when I've been fully active I feel I've contributed well. Really enjoying being on here as everyone's sound and even more so on PW. Hopefully get 1K posts by the end of the year at the very latest.

Just checked the international rankings, we're 60th in the world behind the likes of Gabon, Congo DR and most embarrassingly we are 10 places behind Equatorial Guinea:

Weren't we at Euro 2012.......half of the continent will be at Euro 2016 so its quite poor if we don't qualify.

Can you bet on Ireland to NOT qualify for Euro 2016? I think it's a safe bet. Unfortunately Ireland are piss poor with the aging Robbie Keane being one of our stars. Also Poland beating German didn't help anybody.

I don't remember when my first Dundalk game was but I remember it being against Shamrock Rovers & I think it finished 1-1. I still consider myself a Manchester United fan first & foremost but one of the most memorable nights of my life was Dundalk finally getting promoted down in Kildare. Now that was a dramatic end to a season; Colin Scanlon will forever be an honourary Lilywhite and provider of my best birthday present to date.

Gimmick playing it off like he's a nerd for going to soccer while we're on a hardcore professional wrestling section of an Irish message-board

That's pretty normal from this geek's perspective.

Only go to about a handful of Galway United games a season because Friday nights are an awful night for me in terms of things to do. Connacht's improvement coinciding with the downfall of the old Galway United is something that will really hurt interest for a very long time. That said I'll never have the same investment for those two as I have for the hurling and football teams.

Been going to LOI games since 1990 :eek:

First CCFC game was V Spurs ina friendly. Gazza, Gary Linekar and a few other big names at the time played. First league game was a 2-0 win Vs Drogheda a few months later.

In that period of my life I have grown to absolutely despise CCFC. I hate everything about the useless fúcks. But guess what? I am a season ticket holder and will be going again tonight, because despite the misery they regularly cause, it is the joy that gets provided which makes it all worthwhile. If i were not a CCFC fan I would not have been present for the last minute LOI Div1 league win away to Shell's and seeing our captain lift the trophy with their bunting on it or had the roller-coaster that was last season where we somehow got to the last game top of the league with only a draw separating us from the title.

CCFC has helped me recover from a break up. It had me co-editor of arguably the finest LOI fanzine of all time. I met my wife (in the pub after a match, so its connected). Too many great sessions, loads of friends gained and lost, visiting places I never otherwise would have been

So for me, LOI and CCFC is far more than just a game on a Friday. Sad as it sounds, its my life!

diusmr8a504cvk

Last LOI game I went to was Limerick FC vs Cork City at Thomond Park in 2013 which finished in a 0-0 draw, it was also my first LOI game

Wouldn't mind going to a few again this year though, haven't really gotten the chance to go to their games last season.

That reads like a joke but it's legit!

I can't say that's ever happened to me too much. I had the electricty gone for about 6 or 7 hours one time but we had been notified of it before it happened anyway.

The converter near my parents house seems to blow every year. It even nearly fried during the week coz of the heat. And our mains pipe runs over land. There's too much rock to break through to bury it sufficiently so every big frost is a worry

I think the last Airtricity League game I was at up in Dublin was Longford Town vs St Pats. This was before Town had gotten relegated a few years back, I think it might have been the guts of 7 years ago.

I love going out to Connemara and just not being around people. It's fine once I have my fix of the 9.99 and Netflix. I take lots of photographs of the animals I see.

Did you enjoy Tuesday night Omackeral?

I did, I was still buzzing from beating Dundalk up in Oriel park, something no other team in the country has done. Plus, who doesn't be on a high in Syringeycore?! :cool:
