Euro 2012 Tickets

And as far as club football goes, do they host it in January, postpone the leagues for 6 weeks+, play all through the summer (during the transfer market), and then begin the next league season a week after finishing the last?

Do they continue the leagues as normal, and clubs who pay hundreds of thousands of pounds a week are without their best players?

The whole thing is ridiculous.

Oh, and whilst I am at it, FIFA, who say football is for everybody, in every walk of life, decide host their major tournament in an inaccessible, expensive desert.

No average football fan is ever going to be able to afford to do, and would struggle to even if they could.

And Russia is no better.

Rant over.

And Russia is no better.

Russian girls are hot in fairness. I have been to Moscow, it's a very strange country, the people are very uptight, don't like a joke.

It's also a country who have a racist culture, hooliganism, violence, and has a lot of organised gangs.

Of course you could say the same of South Africa and that turned out okay.

Wouldn’t fancy all the travelling in Russia though, it’s huge.

Did anyone see or hear the premier league chairman Dave Richards' comments yesterday? Very funny! Here is a flavour:

"In our country and in Germany, we have a culture," added Richards. "We call it, 'We would like to go for a pint', and that pint is a pint of beer.

"It is our culture as much as your culture [in Qatar] is not drinking. There has to be a happy medium.

"If you don't do something about it, you are starting to bury your head in the sand a little bit because it needs addressing.

"You might be better off saying don't come. But a World Cup without England, Germany, the Dutch, Danes and Scandinavians. It's unthinkable."

Missed out on the lottery. I am raging. Never get anything in return for following Ireland....

It's very true, yet the FA turned around and said 'his views are not shared by the FA'.

Stand up to them for christ sakes.

Got tickets for our three group games through the resale portal. CAT1's for each game. €120 each plus €32 Uefa fees. Uefa are nothing but glorified touts but at least I'llbe at the games.

One of the lads in the job got his e-mail today saying his application was succesful. When he checked his allocation he got 2 tickets for Italy and tickets for QF, SF and final if we get there. He has to fork out €1.4K by next week for in all likelihood two tickets for the Italy match. Uefa won't be refunding for the rest of the games until after the tournament.

plus €32 Uefa fees.........

what utter shittttte!

How can it cost 32 euros to administrate the sale of a football ticket
