Whelan shooting from everywhere, hes the new Lee Carlsey!

Shay :'(

Ireland seem to think the job is done.

Missed the goal, was getting a Guinness

Would last about 2 seconds, then you would realise England just won the WC and lose the will to live.

Ireland said he would play for us in the last game did he not? But Trap called up some youngster instead of him So I heard anyway. I think Ireland would probably play off Keane in a 4-4-1-1 formation. Hes a brilliant player, could really do with him in the side.

Whelan and Andrews will be interesting. I wish we had some better quality central midfielders.

Was there a hint of booing when Rooney got MOTM there?

Joe Kinnear must be doing the training.

Do Republic fans boo Rangers players? Cant say ive noticed that tbh, people in the Republic dont really care about sectarianism and the complications of Northern Ireland.

He getting boo'd because he plays for Celtic?

WTF N.Ireland are 3-1 up

I was too young to really remember it, I do remember having a couple of those cheap Ireland world cup t-shirts that you got in every single market though

Would be a brilliant fixture for us. Id love Northern Ireland to get into the top 8 2nd placed teams, would love to get them. Yes, because that's exactly what the situation up north needs right now. Fuck it, I want to see that fixture at some point in my life

In terms of competing with Italy that would be perfect. Also a win tonight would cancel out our slip up against Montenegro, what with Italy drawing with Bulgaria and probably winning tonight. Cant wait until these games kick off.

Thinking that myself. I reckon we could have the Italians at home aswell. The play off worries me, it would be absolutely awful to get that far and not go through

What a miss

How is Heskey still starting for England?

Didnt realise this was just a friendly. How come this isnt a qualifier when most other teams are playing them? Especially when these 2 have to play each other anyway? Seems strange.

I like that all white look, wish Ireland would do something like that with green.

Having seen it on the players, it isnt bad actually.

Plenty of Irish people on here, may aswell have a world cup thread. Must win game tonight for both teams id say. The republic need to win imo, no Berbatov and we are at home, Bulgaria will probably be the only team to stop us getting into the World Cup so we need to beat them at least once. If we got 10 points clear of them it would be an amazing position, especially with Italy coming up. Goodluck to Northern Ireland aswell, got abit of a tough game tonight but at least its at home. Come on the Irish

Bruce would probably only get the job here as Ashley would want to piss off Whelan. If Bruce didnt currently work for Whelan, Ashley would never go for him, too much money and he wasnt a big manager in the 90s.

Is that actually the kit they will play in? I thought it was just abit of merchandise?
