Carling nations Cup

[Curls]

Bout a month to go until the next round...Republic v the North...should be a laugh!..judging by the "hostile" reception the NI anthem got from the Scots I cant say I hold out much hope of a good willed game!...this will be more like an Old Firm game in many respects!...I just hope that we dont have half the UVF down for a fight!
In any case I think the Republic should walk this!
I'm just hoping we dont have a repeat of the England game in '95...

I fear you may be right

When the re-introduction of this tournament was announced, I was excited as I thought we would be the favourites to win it.

But with Harry Potter and his favourite "6-4-0" formation (as well as the selection of certain players like Caldwell and that absolute donkey Gary Kenneth), all we can hope for is that we don't get hammered.

Bumpity bump bump, bump bump


YAAASSSS!!! Revenge is sweetly claimed.

My gosh though Wales were poor, to concede a goal to Christophe Berra :lol: :lol:

6000 in attendance last night. The Carling Nations Cup is the biggest sham of a competition

Unfortunately I think the only way to get more people interested is the presence of England (at least in terms of Scottish folk), but I would hate the other FAs to go grobbling and pleading to the English FA

Still, so long as there is a trophy up for grabs, every chance should be taken, its not like any of us are going to be qualifying for WCs any time soon <_<

6000 in the Aviva? I dunno what is happening to football in this country, but a few years back you would have gotten at least 20,000 for a game against Northern Ireland regardless. Good result anyway.

No that was for the Scotland-Wales game... I dunno what the attendance was for the Ireland-Northern Ireland game. The real losers that night were the residents of Ballsbridge. You should've seen the folk hanging about!

Oh, well yeah, it's not exactly going to be a huge draw. Midweek too, which would deter travelling fans.

What an embarrassing competition.

Will any TRF members who enjoy football go to any of these games?
