Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

Igor Lebedev is the son of Vladimir Zhirinovsky fwiw so public brawling in far more refined fora than the streets of Marseille is in the blood.

what's this about the eiffel tower shining the colours of ireland if they get the most #irl tags on socialmedia/instagram?

won't in-real-life tags get in the way

o wait this is footie i forgot nothing makes sense

Ireland look decent enough.

They sure do. That Hendrick lad is alright.

McCarthy the weak link in that midfield. His technique is very poor for a 10-15m rated player and his tackling is poorly judged more often than not.

Great from Ireland i thought. Hope we dont slack off

Yeah McCarthy has been shite

@ work, so relying on you lads to keep me abreast of developments

Yeah!

Lovely goal for houlihan

Ireland playing as well as i can recall in a tournament. Creating and making the most of chances, swedish goalie busy all game

V nearly concede a joke goal from kickoff oh welp

Oooffff

delightful

And again from the setpiece. Great save and bad miss from rebound

Mccarthy is an idiot and needs to be subbed

that was practically asking for the red on bended knee

The writing on the jersey is so 1987 paddys day i cant even

Lol otm

Long hangs his whole body out the way pires used hang a leg out

When did i first say long was lfc/spurs squad level? Me otm anyway

Were getting very lazy or very tired very early

God no not mcclean

I wouldnt let him on the train to cork

Ireland seem rattled all of a sudden when there isn't a reason to be.

Yeah at 0 0 this was practice stuff.

Two lunatics looking to be sent off on the pitch now

What kind of forced squeals of rage and frustration must james mcclean make at the point of ejaculation

disturbing

"Hoolahan scored Ireland's first goal at Euro 2016 on their way to a surprise run to the final where they beat England on penalties .[43][44]"

Cuntish

Bollocks. Ugly goal at that.

Oh it's an og

oh man

Shit I just stepped out for a fag

Our balls have been scrabbling for our spine since scoring and that is an idiot decision from clark

Hopefully we revert to our prior form now its level again and score late cos we sure as fuck cant defend a lead

Kinda self fulfilling, Ireland was so timid ever since they went in front.

Xp otm

yeah well look lads if anyone had thought to ask a Villa fan what happens when you let Ciaran Clark join in we could've told you

frankly amazed that anyone was brave enough to select a Villa player for this tournament at all, low confidence doesn't quite do it justice

Now weve a game plan again

Totally bizarre

Keano in

Keane looks wrecked time to sub him

Composure of mcgeady badly needed now

At this point it feels Ireland should cherish a point, but they really should've nicked this.

Nah i think we're more likely to score and have been clearly better apart from every second of our lead.

No doubt youse been better.

Taking off houlihan while leaving the booked and useless whelan mccarthy combo was a strange one but wes hasnt got ninety minute legs tbf

Clark well out of his depth alright. But weve nursed worse centre halves through tournaments before

Whelan you stupid fuck

Bad point from a good performancd
