  1. No one is making excuses. The manager admits he's made mistakes. The players admit they've played poorly. The fans know that, but there's little point traveling across Europe to sit in a stadium depressed. People disagree with him having a go at the fans, they don't play on the pitch. People know we don't have good players and our used to be good players are over the hill, no amount of mentality change will change that before the Italy game tomorrow. People disagree with him and his confrontational attitude waiting for one of the players to have a go back at him, what's the point in that?
  2. Automated Lighthouse on Dads land. In the words of Bart Simpson, it was like that when I got here... Bog Orchid... Little pond where the sea meets the land.
  3. Yes, he left the training camp on the Island of Saipan before they ever got to Japan/South Korea. We done well in that WC, whether we would have done better with him, or done as good to spite him is anyones guess.
  4. Yet, if he's under 30.
  5. Most opinion here, that I have heard, on Keane boils down to this: Go away Roy. We're bored of this ranting shit. He makes himself irrelevent precisely because of the junk in the link above Malt. The thing is, no one, not the manager, not the players, nor the fans have said no mistakes have been made, or that they have not played poorly. No one will be bothered having a go at Roy. Even Eamon Dunphy doesn't agree with Roy, and Eamon hates practically everyone!
  6. Fucks sake you Rangers lot pay for nothing Joking I'd be pissed at the wording and their standard of English. Got a letter like that one time, I think it was from a health insurance company, which implied I was behind in paying for my plan when they really wanted me to renew. Lifted the phone and told them while I had been happy with the cover they could now go fcuk themselves
  7. The knives are being sharpened for Trap on RTE by it's panelists, has upset players, never changes tactics, never reacts to situations... Still, always Apres Match to look forward to...
  8. I thought Russia were meant to be one of the tipped teams for the tournament. I feel a bit sad Poland are out, not just as a host nation but they've really warmed to the Irish which I find a bit humbling considering how some Irish treated the Polish who came here to work.
  9. Wow, Russia out, Czechs and Greeks (who would begrudge them) through!
  10. So I've done the spuds thread and will keep that going until they're harvested. Thought I'd start another thread with what other veg I've chanced my arm with. I've been burning up my PhotoBucket bandwidth allowance something fierce. I had been using an online site to reduce the pixel size of my photos but forgot to change format Now I just reduce them to 800 x 600 in Paint and save as to jpeg, much better! Back to business... I may have one or two mixed up here, I just took a few shots, wasn't paying great attention. Tips, thoughts, suggestions welcome - I already know the place i
  11. I don't see kids out playing football around here anymore, not that we ever produced anyone. When I was young - which wasn't when dinosaurs roamed the earth - we'd be out everyday unless it was torrential rain or a storm. I suspect they're sat on their chubby little arses playing it on XBox or playstation. I don't think there's a youth system that's worth a fcuk either, that doesn't help. Where have the good players gone? Hmm, I think a lot learned their skills on the streets. Keane said we can't go for the ould sing song. Sorry Roy, but we can. I don't get the impression that Roy
  12. I listened to Roy Keane on about what a load of ol bollocks the Irish " party attitude " is.......he said its embarrassing and time Ireland started taking the game more seriously if they want to compete in these tournaments and not try to be everyones favorite " second team "................must admit i never really liked his attitude as a player but he talks a lot of sense even when it might offended his own kind.....fair play to him he,s right in this case. Meh, I dunno, he is and he isn't. Any right thinking person knew we weren't going to get out of our group. We have bad/old pl
  13. Oh goody, the brainwashing has begun then. Seriously, have you seen Spain and Germany? It's either, or, for this competition. notice the IF in capital letters mate.... Fair enough

  15. I'm not worried about oil running out, couldn't care less if it does or doesn't. But, what's happening recently is the price is continually pushing up at the pumps. That eats into peoples incomes and reduces their options of travelling for work. Price of oil, or so I'm told, went below $100 a barrel, yet prices at the pumps here are still €1.65 per litre, I'm told they should be under €1.20. Now, the problem with all of this is we have very little choice when it comes to getting around. Why some other company )not oil obviously - but it would make sense for one of them to jump ship), why B
  16. Yeah, but, when the oil runs out, or an affordable alternative is available they'll be back to playing sandcastles and trading camels. That should be a hoot eh John? I won't miss them or their oil and how they use it, and we let them, hold the rest of us hostage. By the time they've ran out it will have become financially viable for the Canadians to start extracting their oil from their sands and shales on a huge scale IMO.. Canadians, polite as they are, won't be a lot better, the problem is oil itself. We need to find a widely available and cheap power source that eve

  19. We got something alright, a proper and deserved hiding. Pleasure to watch that Spanish team play football, the ball just stuck to them. I heard they had something like 980 completed passes to our paltry 100. If you can't play the game, this is what happens. Best song was the Irish singing "Stop stealing our fish" For them that don't know, Irish waters are plagued by Spanish trawlers doing exactly that.
  20. Just remember to put the plastic on on a hot day.
  21. True enough the pipe ain't cheap. I've seen proper frames for sale second hand but they're huge things.
  22. If you ever wondered where that jet was heading to... http://www.flightradar24.com/ Works on smart phones as well I think.
  23. Yes. You'll have a different zero with the mod on compared to the mod off. Shoot both ways at a paper target to find out for future reference.
