Who else is bored by these Internationals

I can't wait for the weekend and the following week to be honest.

Unless its the World cup or the European Championships -

Club football >>>>>> International football.

Club definitely >>>> Country.

I hate it when our players get crocked on international duty.

parky carefull mate you agree with Wenger

Agree too. Looking forward to seeing Gallas and Baptista and how they link up

Also all the other signings....

I used to say the opposite, but at the moment I'm wholehartedly agreeing.

Playing minnows (and us playing badly at that)...bleh.

Clubfootball on the other hand : the EPL is very exciting at the moment, so is our own Eredivise....and I'm also enjoying the Bundlesiga.

So yes, I'm agreeing with Parks (Parky ?) : bring on clubfootball !!!

I loved the game Luxembourg - Oranje. It was a hell of a game...!

I can't beleive you stuggled so much!

Did RVP play?

I know, I read his comments and thought for once they were spot on.

I used to be country first my whole life, but since the last qualifyers, I'm all about the clubs.

Its a definite turn off, knowing that the most competitive opponent you'll face in the coming two years is Romania. No matter who we'll play in the friendlies.
Besides if we play one more game like we did on saturday, I couldn't care less anymore whether we qualified or not (not like that is going to happen in this group though...). I've had enough of San Marco's ugly & shitty football.

I just want the leagues to get a proper start and a number of games under the belt already. I couldn't care less about the minnows we face - for which the leagues were halted for a meagre week into the season.

There's just been so much football recently...I think thats why they're so boring. All we did for about 1 month was constantly watch and then discuss international football....its bound to get a bit dull.

BTW I really enjoyed the Ireland trashing from minute 1 till 90!!!!! What about that DD?

Ow, yes you are right! I'm not saying we beat a world Class Ireland side. It was a poor side. But, the game was great to watch!!!!

And, COTR I hope you have a lot more faith in your Ireland than this... That second team of Ireland was still 10 times better than those semi-pro's from Luxembourg!

my ireland side got thrashed 3-0 at home to eidur gudjohson on sat ricardo

I thought you have an Irish Pass as well...

And your Northern team had a great vic on Finland....


















in a friendly...

club>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>countries

i was lying .. but i can get one if i want...

yep after finland the hype had even begun to effect everyone in this country as well... so much so that the northern ireland FA offered a 1.5 million bonus if we qualified for euro 08....

i think they knew their money was safe all along

I so want to see Anelka playing.

But I want to us to beat Italy more.

I was bored to tears by both Eng vs Greece and Eng vs Andorra.

I want premiership football ffs, we had a whole fucking summer of boring International football and then it is on again in a few weeks? WTF?

I quite like them in general.

France v Italy and Slovakia v Czech Rep look like interesting fixtures.

I enjoyed highlights of Georgia v France and Poland v Finland.

Henry probably thought it was his chance to be main man for les bleus now that Zidane's gone - Ribery made him think again !

The performances of Dudek and Litmanen were very entertaining in the latter fixture.

. was only a minor lie ricardo...a mere small play on the truth ... wasn't that that wonderful thread when u were arguing wales, scotland and northern ireland were not countries in their own right

our manager lawrie sanchez was hitting out at all the press hype and false expectations yesterday... people here actually thought we had a great chance of qualifying... funny stuff..

@COTR

I have to say I saw a part of that game against Finland in an Irish pub because I thought Ireland-Holland started at 7:30 CET but it was 7:30 English time......

I was impressed by the result. Finland are a quite decent side! But then no reason for an hype campaign of course...

You were right. It was in the thread where I started a promotion campaign for a UK (or a GB) football team because then you play as one country instead of 4 (or 3) separate entities...
