"We've seen you come, we'll see you go"
Euro 2020 venues being announce today. Hopefully Dublin gets the nod!
There's a few analysis bits around but they're hoping rather than saying we're definitely in. Most say Baku will be in too as they've money to throw at it
Scotland did silly stuff like only out down 3 hotels when they needed 5. Places like Russia and Israel seem out for political reasons.
We defo have a very strong chance
"We've seen you come, we'll see you go"
What way will it work ? 3 games from same group in aviva ? If ireland qualified do we play at home ?
3 group games and a last 16 game. From the same group.
No idea about how they'd have seeds/non seeds play at home
"We've seen you come, we'll see you go"
Some great cities awarded games as well, all handy enough to get to bar St Petersburg and Baku.
Wembley given both semi finals and final.
Munich,
Glasgow,
Brussels
Bilbao,
Rome,
Amsterdam,
Copenhagen,
Budapest,
Bucharest.
And Brian Kerr is in tears.
If ireland qualified do we play at home ?
Would Ireland play their matches at home should they qualify? In some cases. A maximum of two host teams can be drawn into each group, with the host teams playing a minimum of two of their three group matches on home turf. Nevertheless, host teams won’t necessarily be playing their knockout matches at home. Furthermore, the draw will be formatted to ensure that should two host teams (the maximum that can be paired together) be drawn in the same group, the travel distance between the two countries in question will be a maximum of two hours.

Voting here. Only Cardiff & Stockholm fulfilled the minimum criteria and didn't get anything.
Dublin 2nd highest votes for the final package
"We've seen you come, we'll see you go"
So the FAI CAN do slick marketing campaigns.
They just couldn't be arsed when it comes to the highest level of professional football in Ireland.

I like the Garda tweet at the end. With all that OT on the way maybe they will fuck off and leave us alone for a summer.
Ehh..... hello??????

Brian Lenihan called up to the senior squad for the games against Gibraltar and Germany.
He was torn a new one by our attack in Richmond earlier in the season and is now in a squad against the world champions, madness! Also there's no chance he'd have been called up if he was still playing over here despite not making an appearance for Hull yet
And maybe a chance for a second... AND IT IS! IT'S ALL OVER! PATS HAVE WON THE CUP!
Bermo a better player IMO. Good luck to the lad he won't feature in either game but a bit of exposure does no one any harm.
Anyone know where I can purchase these magic plane tickets that make you an international footballer after 1 flight?
I'm delighted for Lenian, hope he does well.
And Brian Kerr is in tears.
No mystery: by and large LoI players train part-time and play against fellow part-timers. Even after a couple of months in England we can't compare Hull's Brian Lenihan to Cork's Brian Lenihan. It's not like for like.
Theres no doubt training and playing in England improves players.
But he hasn't played yet.
I've no issue with him being picked ahead of the LOI lads, but someone like Matt Doherty is playing regularly in England and has been part of the u21s for a while now. He didn't get picked because he had no one suggesting him to O'Neill like Lenihan did with the Hull lads
"We've seen you come, we'll see you go"
Anyone got a good link to watch the game?
Christy Fagan - He scores big goals
Congratulations!
3.000 Irish Fans rocking an 80.000 seater stadium and your 11 on the pitch making Germany feel like Gibraltar...
What a night...we stole a point but to be there at the death and see the goal and reaction of the fans was great: Incidentally the Germans are know for their efficiency however trying to get out of that stadium was a nightmare....Very poor organisation.
Looking for 2 tickets for Saturday if anyone has some.
Cheers
Anyone selling a ticket for Saturday by any chance?
And Brian Kerr is in tears.

Have not gone to a Ireland home game since Bertie's twin took over the FAI,and like the Bert a chancer and a spoofer.
Ireland to go into pot 4 for the World Cup qualifying draw (in two weeks time) along with Turkey, Slovenia, Israel, Norway, Bulgaria, Faroe Islands, Montenegro and Estonia.
Wales will be top seeds, now ranked tenth in FIFA rankings.
