Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

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

Feeling for u Eire.

Otoh 100% predictor score today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enjoyed this, v positive performance from Ireland.

Unlucky lads, I'll take me 40 points tho

When did ye ever not profit from our lack of defence

Lot of good football there tho, better than I thought

Most parodiable description of ones goal ive heard in manys the year

xp yeah brady, houlihan, coleman, long all decent footballers awaiting a framework.

Trap a cunt obv

At one time I was nearly cheering another Irish goal, but forty points is forty points.

lol i am doing terribly at the predictor thing. i have plumped for 0-0 in tonight's game which on current suggests that we're gonna be on for a 7 goal thriller

*current form

Chris Waddle:"Ireland are honest and genuine".

Imagine being Belgium and still playing Fellaini.
