Sorry to be a pain in the hoop but X1 means times one, XI is eleven. If you're going to put up Roman Numerals, you may as well do it right.
As regards the team, it's exactly what I thought it would be. I'd have dropped Doyle, put McGeady in the hole behind Keane and put Hunt on the left wing. I'd also have put Foley in instead of Kelly and dropped Andrews for McCarthy.
Surely we can break our three decades of bad luck at euros
Frankos i've changed the article heading now from X1 to XI
Ah good man Fred.
Whan the lads.
Frank, what's with this pain in the hoop stuff ?Have the O Back family moved north of the Liffey ? .Never let it be said i didn't warn ya,, it'll end in tears.Imagine, you'll never be able to mow your lawn again, you'll have to settle for cutting the grass, i mean the list is endless.
Silver linings ? ,,Pat Fenlon's a talented manager, but will a visit to Dalymount really make it all worthwhile?
Food for thought.
Milltown, once again I'm totally confused by your ramblings, but I love it all the same.
Frank, you said something to Freds above about being "a pain in the hoop".Taking the name of the pride of the Southside in vain means either you've completely lost the run of yourself, or as seems more likely, you've moved north of the Liffey. How do you think we'll do today?
You now how it is on these things, you have to choose your choice of words carefully or the comment will be deleted.
Anyway, I'm fearing the worst for this evening mate. The Russian's have such a good record at home and well, we've not beaten a strong team away from home since Scotland in 1987. History is against us and I really can't see it changing today.
I agree,, but,, who'd have thought Don Givens would have humbled U.S.S.R. at Dalymount.
I've had this game down as a loss since the draw was made and I haven't even started drinking yet ! So why do I feel suddenly optimistic that we can scrape a 1 nil win?!
"we've not beaten a strong team away from home since Scotland in 1987" - 1-0 away to Armenia last year was a fairly impressive victory.
