If Ireland make it to the Semi Final of a World Cup, I will pay for your flight myself.

And the point isn't how well Dunne played, its the fact that you rant about him the whole time "Dickie this, Dickie that" and then he scores a beauty of an own goal.

We'd have made the semi's last time if it wasn't for the Keane fiasco.

I doubt you'd have made it past South Korea, even if you did somehow beat Spain. The combination of average players putting in a great team performance and dogy refereeing is a deadly one.

Come on West Ham, not that I like them, but they will kick the shit out of the Arse in the next round, especially that cunt Repka.

Good that that ginger twat Sheringham missed, and how the ref is letting Kiely get away with his diving is beyond me.

Fuck you Andy Liddle :mad:

If Roy Keane had been playing, we wouldn't even have had Spain in the second round. We'd have topped the group, no problem. Like I said, watched back the German game and we absolutely killed them, but Kahn was unbelievable.

Just goes to show that a great goalkeeper can make a fairly crap team good. Germany of 2002 qualify as a fairly crap team, in my book. Any side with Carsten Jancker in it has to, really.

Yeah RBF always used to whine about how Fulham were shit but had Van Der Sar and Saha to make them look good.

Fergie used to say that Schmeichel was worth ten points a season, keepers don't get enough credit.

It was criminal that blackburn beat us the other season, Friedel pulled of a stupid amount of good saves and we lost 2-1.

Also, I thought you would like to know that Roman's favourite player is apparently Duff.

That's a good thing. Means he is probably the least likely to be brutally murdered and buried in some frozen wasteland, I suppose.

The most unlikely would be Kezman, that guy probably has some dodgy contacts in the Serbian underworld, I wouldn't fuck with him.

Abramovich could take out any Serbs. He's the dodgiest man currently alive.

Well yes, but still, Kezman's faimly was held hostage in some crazy plot by some crazy gang a while back, Kezman must have some dodgy ties.

I suppose Duff has either the real or fake the IRA on his side.

Duff has been here so long, he's practically English now. The IRA probably hate his guts.

I can see you taunting me at Rajah, Baker. The walls have ears.

If they IRA care about football, they'll like him, they need him to qualify for the World Cup, I don't have ties with the IRA, nor do I wish two, perhaps EGC, Smell it?, ogen or Diothoir could confirm whether they are football enthuiasts.

For all we know Duff's crazy wages might help fund the IRA.

Football is probably far too English for hardcore IRA men. They would probably prefer the Gaelic variety.

ahaha, that is tremendous, you have a network of spies. I bet when you die you're going to be one of those ghosts that watches people have sex.

Off out in a minute. Hope the lad Kris is on when I get back a bit mashed, I'm going to write a song about him.

Just because Davor Suker isn't visible, doesn't mean he isn't watching.

Am I the only one that thinks that Dickie Dunne is Rooney's secret older brother, hidden from the media so Wayne can play for a proper international team?

On today's performance, it's looking more and more likely. Dickie has mad finishing skillz.

He looks like a potato. Honestly, FLJ, I'm telling you.

Rooney could have turned out for Ireland. Fuck him, we stole McGeady off the Scots. It's like watching a Ronaldo who can cross.

vids.

I've seen two of him pulling off the same trick, which is pretty awesome, but he follows both up with some pretty dire crosses.

Is he left wing? I think he's played there whenever I've seen him (ie, once).

If England don't snap me up soon I might aswell try out for Iran. I'm getting real impatient.

It was a decent trick, but it's been done before, a good three or four years ago. Definitely by some Leicester player who fell into obscurity. Possibly Steve Guppy.

Celtic use him out there but he plays central for the Irish youth sides, apparently. He can play with either foot, and all along midfield, both wings or up front. Says he prefers the role behind a front two, though.

High hopes for him, ever since I read an article about him ages ago about how he could do millions of keep-e-ups with a golf ball, like Maradona.

I saw Rooney's uncle do an interview on the news during the Euros.

He was quite possibly the most Irish person I've ever seen.

In fact, he was so Irish, you couldn't actually understand anything he said, other than the fact that he was definitely from Ireland, and by definition, almost certainly very drunk.

I doubt it. He's a sweet crosser.

He did that Ronaldinho thing on his debut. Anyway, he's a couple of years younger than Cristano and the Roonyard. I've only seen a couple of full games from him and a bunch of sub appearances. Berne loves him.

I hear he hasn't been doing it lately, however.

I thought Maradona did it with a Ping Pong ball, but then I'm guessing he probably did it was both and it's probably not that you are mistaken.

I thought you wanted to marry Rooney.

I could imagine him there in a white dress (he'd be the woman) and I'd be in the corner drinking Kronenbourg, with Toby sucking my tiny willy with his black dog lips.

It was all of them.

It was an article I read in the Sunday Times ages ago, before he broke into the Celtic side about how he could do them all day with a football, so then he worked on a tennis ball, then a golf ball, then a ping-pong ball, basically emulating Maradona.

The more players we have like that in an Ireland shirt, the better. Robbie, Duffer and McGeady, with the Fat Controller, Andy Reid, not far behind.

nah trust me, both the crosses are bordering on terrible. You feel bad for the lad, cause he pulls off that move and takes it past 3 defenders then fucks it up completely. I have heard good things though. I'll hook you up with them when I get home, cause I still have them somewhere.

The Rangers one is scuffed, yeah, but the first file there, against Aberdeen, that's a great cross. If you had Hartson or Sutton in there instead of that Somalian spastic Camara, it'd have been a certain goal.

The free kick is great.

The biggest match of his career, against AC Milan, he was very impressive. Milan sent scouts back to watch him after it.

In the match I saw him, he looked decent, with some potential. Doubt he'll ever reach the top heights of the game, though, it's the Irish curse.

He's 18, you piece of shit. Bit early to be writing the kid off. That's like something Simon would say.

I bet if he was a Brazilian nig nog with purple hair and a ginger beard you'd be saying he's the next greatest player in the world.

I'm not writing him off, you wheelchair bastard. I don't think Kevin Gallen will ever play international football.

And please don't compare me to Simon. It's like calling a white man a coloured.

Dickie Dunne.

Ireland are the greatest team in the world. No other side has such a balance of obesity and genius skill.

And stolen black men.

okay, the two clips on that site are the ones i'm talking about. the rangers one is piss poor if he's supposedly two footed, but i can let that go as mistakes are made and it's just bad luck probably. As for the one against Aberdeen, I wouldn't lay the blame anywhere but at his feet. He has ten yards or so in front of him, with no-one steaming in for any obvious tackle. The duffer he took it past turns slower than my grandad and makes no attempt to go for the ball again, he just starts running up. So why he can't take the time to pick out a decent pass is beyond me. With the space he has, he could probably get into a decent shooting position as well.

The free kick is fair enough, but it's some shocking goalkeeping to say the keeper had that post pretty much covered. It's pretty much like the one Rooney took today, only James saved it.
