    Yep i get what you chaps are saying about just grateful at being there and anything else is a bonus......but surely once your there you want to represent yourself as sportsmen not good time guys who like a beer i think thats what Roy Keane was on about......i just wanted to know how he is viewed by the Irish as i find him an interesting character with an outlook on competition much like my own thats all.

    We,re back over there Sunday right down in Nice this time im told its still only 24/25 degrees at the moment ?.....from what im told the French people big into footie are from the cities and rugby from the suburbs i dont know how true that is.......ive been to a lot of tournaments over the years and must admit for atmosphere and general " footballness " its certainly not the best.......even the fan parks are dead !.....a lot of French folk we,ve spoke to feel the terrorist threat has played a big role in the sombre and quite often downcast mood of the place....which i guess is understandable.

    No dont get me wrong mate im not knocking the spirit of it......Ireland never had the football hooligan culture we had here in England and Wales so i understand they dont get that......i do agree with Roy Keanes views on a losing mentality though its not something to be celebrated ive been to a million and one games and never found any joy in losing......like i say maybe he,s just seen as different over there im not sure ?

    Much as its nice to see fans with a smile on their face and enjoying their football this " worlds most popular fans " act does become a bit tiresome after a while.....personally i think Roy Keane got it just about right when he questioned why they would celebrate losing.........ok we get it the Irish like a drink and a singsong.......but essentially sport is about winning and losing the whole smiley Irishman thing does wear a bit thin after a while......or maybe Keane is just too competetive for the Irish is he a sporting icon over there or not i dont know ?

    Why together stronger? Sounds like one of the catchphrases Cameron keeps rattling off every time somebody asks him a question It's just a slogan, it just says that fans and players have a unity. In Wales we tend to get behind our teams be that in rugby or football, what I can gather a lot of English can't wait to slag there team off, so not such a bad slogan . They make me f****n sick to be honest all these silly c**ts lapping up the Premier League every week but then sit their scratching their canister wondering why it dont work like that at International level !.....all the pretend pa

    Its the same in any sport.....as a fighter its hard to beat an opponent who is not trying to beat you.....how many times do we see sides like Arsenal have virtually 90 minutes possession of the ball but cant break the other side down.......nobody can force an opponent to be more ambitious if their mindset is to just dig in and survive.

    I think folk have underestimated just how important winning the group was.....if im not wrong England could now face Portugal then France then Germany !......my plans were to stay in France if we topped the group as we would of played Saturday but now playing Monday instead i couldnt face staying there all week the place is so depressing 90% of the country im sure dont even know theres a football tournament on they just havent entered into the spirit of it at all i know they have other problems at the moment but even so.....good luck to the Welsh i think they,ve done ok,personally i dont think

    How do you know do you know him ?....or are you just going by what you see of him on a football pitch ! I agree mate its an important thing to us but its not to some cultures its hardly a hanging offence is it.....im simply making the point he is apparently a very generous,loyal and good guy to those around him.

    So what we doing now judging a man by the way he treats his opponents.....or by the way he treats his family/friends etc As a sports fan what do you prefer a winning mentality whos a bad loser.....or a losing mentality but who loses in the spirit of the game.......i know what i prefer.

    Good......who wants to see a player happy and content with failure.....i like his desire and will to succeed without it he probably wouldnt of got where he has.

    Met him in Leicester Square in the 90,s what an arrogant nasty little c**t i had to just laugh and walk away or id of been on the front of the paper for punching his teeth down his throat the saucy prick !.......still,not sure id wish serious illness on him though he just stuck in my mind thats all.

    I thought the Wales game would of been an injustice if we hadnt won we were far and away the better side,i like the way we,re playing i just wish we would play at the same pace as we play in the premier league......Rooney is playing well and seems to of found a position that suits him i just wonder if its at a cost to the rest of the team though as we seem to be building up from the back at a pace that suits Rooney rather than what suits the team we havent seen the best of Kane or Alli and maybe its because they play in a fast moving Spurs side and we,re playing slowly.......bollocks though im

    Im presuming this was that bulldog thread thats gone......it comes to something when you cant even talk about the gameness of a terrier on a working dog forum.....i was under the common sense assumption that the people commenting on that topic were either former gamedog owners or present gamedog enthusiasts,either way folk should be able to have a natter without having their arses wiped for them in my opinion but such is life.

    Must admit that does look very calming and theraputic i could quite get into an aftenoon of clippity clop whispering my dulcet tones into his/her ear.......closest ive had to riding on a gee gee was the donkey rides along Clacton sea front

    So is this another one where the parent gets blamed for taking their eyes off a kid when wild animals are in the vicinity ?.....or can we put this one down to an accident ?

    You Jocks just carry on watching on the telly like any other year

    We had to expect something mate.....hooliganism in Russia is big at the moment and they see England as the holy grail.....apparently the fan forums had been warning people not to discuss what bars they was meeting in for ages leading up to the tournament so it wasnt a surprise really......the only surprise was how organised they were and how they just havent grasped that families/kids/shirters are out of bounds !! Yes we are leaving for Lille later today,back on Friday then fly to St Etienne Sunday and back home Tuesday with options for further games when/if we get through.....its like any

    Would it be fair to say you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about ? I asked you what the lesson to learn was.....and you still havent told me ?....for you to try to compare terrace culture to having a straightener on the cobbles tells me you are trying to use common sense logic along with a little dab of humour to bluff your way through a conversation on a subject your not familiar with........which is fine............but your sly little digs to a person who is being respectful really let you down

    My answer would be no.....to be exactly the same would be a duplicate.....all animals will grow up with their own personalities according to its environment......no ?

    Italy are just so clinical.....not sure id fancy watching that sort of football every week but they certainly know how to get a result....it will be interesting to watch how they play if they go behind in a game.
