Shame on you writing a football related article
You are expelled from the JA606 Politics Board forthwith
Your comments are spot on.
Ridiculous friendly at the wrong time of year. Must have seen the £££ signs when agreeing this
Will be a slaughter.
Maybe Coates will turn to Van Persie and using this Crusaders "legends" own immortal words to oppostion players
"Do you know who i am"
i was dubious the reaction i might have got by wanting to talk about football! haha
But i really don't understand the benefit of this from a footballing term apart from giving the keeper plenty of work.
If coates can get close enough to say that to RVP he may as well give it a try......
Is Colin Coates any relation to Liverpool's Uruguayan international defender Sebastian Coates?
Hopefully O'Neill will spot something in one or two of our players that he doesn't know about already. Who knows, maybe we'll surprise ourselves? (clutching at straws).
But, yes, hard to know what OWC will gain by this match. Did Holland request it though? As a test run for playing in the Euros maybe?

I believe Sebastian Coates is a footballer so there is no obvious relationship
And what about you Greeny
Will be over to Elland Road early next season and will give you a shout if you are up for it
i nearly fell off my seat last summer when i read liverpool where after a CB called Coates!
Greeny - i can only assume so to get the form and confidence up.
Cheers Earl.
I'm not sure I really want to see Colin's team but we'll see
Articles like this about football make my blood boil.
Have 5 stars ,me sick of like fella from free Derry that is a wee bit thick
HOLLAND:
Excellent article! You've said it all! A truly ridiculous friendly! No use to NI at all! I doubt if it will even make much financial sense. Looks like the "Orangemen" are looking for a "Donkey Bag" to borrow a boxing phrase, ie. someone they can work up on, practise on and gain additional confidence by giving a good hiding! Feel sorry for Michael O'Neil having to deal with this detritus inherited from Worthington/IFA. What were we playing at all that time, indulging those chumps! Michael must NOT be judged until hes had a chance to get such rubbish out off the way and is given an opportunity to run his own ship the way he wants it . Anyway, no doubt we'll set some sort of new record like, "most goals conceded in Amsterdam"! PS. If we do happen to beat them, as we have in the past, does that mean we take over the World No. 4 spot?
Reiver :
Yes, we will slot in between Uruguay and Portugal. And the Dutch will slide down between Antigua and Barbuda and Malawi.
On a serious note , we are on a hiding into nothing with this friendly. What bloody eejit arranges friendly matches at the IFA. Who's next Brazil and Argentina?
Sorry im making the blood boil guy's! haha
i do feel bad for MON - walked into a bit of a mess. hopefully the Finland friendly in August will prove to be positive for confidence, result and rankings going into the qualifiers.
I don't even think people at the IFA know why this was a good idea apart from a truck load of money......
ALEX:
Regarding our next friendly, I believe the dollards at the IFA are hoping to arrange a friendly with a World All Stars team, but only if we can manage to sink another few places down below Luxemburg and Monaco!
It can't be that bad a game. Surely you would not be punished bad for losing to the 4th best team in the world. A lose will not effect you too much, but what if something crazy happened and snuck a wee cheeky win. Would that not do wonders for you? It is unlikely but this is footy, maybe they will play 30 different players and with a new manager your lot could try to impress.
If you draw would it help you ranking position?
I don't think its ever going to be a case of 'if we draw or win'. We all know that won't happen. However it will be better to lose to a team ranked 4th in the world than to lose to somebody ranked near us. I hate to admit it but thats what would happen. However, as i've said in previous posts, as long as we give 100% effort i'll be happy enough. It will be interesting to see who O'Neill picks, or more importantly, who turns up. Whatever the outcome, I agree with REIVER. O'Neill must not be judged on this or even the next friendly. Lets wait until the next qualifiers to see what he can really get out of the team.. In the meantime, onwards and upwards!!!
