The Football.....

Yes, well done Ireland, though those gaping holes in the centre of the Italian defence towards the end seemed very, very odd. On the other hand, Italy should have conceded penalties with their box wrestling.

Meanwhile, if you include Iceland as a NW Europe country, there's only one which didn't get in and get to the final 16. A pretty good show all round.

Yeah that's it praise the republic but not one post or like for the north, apart from mine.

I have a friend at the Eire game, he is currently incapable of communicating other than by the word 'feck'

Keane enjoyed that much more than anything I have seen him enjoy anything as a player.

Go on admit it. You're a plastic paddy.

Accy I think people are praising the Republic of Ireland for the manner in which they won, specially after the heavy defeat and poor display aganist Belguim ..so its not the Republic per se that they are praising but the win...
.
plastic paddy is a derogatory term and nothing funny about it....

Yes i can see that about the Republic's win. What i'm on about is that not one has praised the north's achievement in reaching the last 16 or their display against Germany in keeping them down to one goal, or their win against Ukraine. Northern Ireland must be the second smallest country in the tournament. They beat a country with a hundred million population and narrowly lost to one with a hundred million population.

These small countries who 'park the bus' have ruined the competition for me, their only aim is to stifle the opposition and stop them playing.
Sooner they are all out the better, then England can show their true attacking flair

Can someone ask Scotland to put the bins out, we are all staying a bit longer ta.

 

[Accy cyclist]

OK, so you missed the point I was trying to make....if the Republic had of got through on the back of a 1-0 defeat as the North did then there most probably not have been to many posts about the Republic....

In my opinion there would still be praise for them qualifying if they'd done it like Northern Ireland. I'm surprised at Andy RM not mentioning Kilmarnock's Northern Ireland player.

Just heard it announced that Vardy is to stay at Liecester on a 4 year deal.
Good news for Liecester fans.
