    The Rep of Irelands dismal run can be seen in the numbers, while other countries have an alomst random selection of shirt numbers, we played 1-11 against Croatia and last night lined out with 10 shirts in the 1-11 range. Yes, knowing your settled side is good, but then theres the whole absensce of strength in depth, and failure to recognise when a line up needs to change...

        Having lots of very poor players and a keeper who's knackered from single handedly keeping Villa up doesn't help either.

          And whilst we're at it, will someone shoot Mark Lawrenson through the face. HE is a shite commentator, with pathetically bad attempts at humour and who seems to no so little of the game. And Lineker, a wanker in a suit who once was good at hogging the 6 yard box, another crap presenter with all the charm of a rotting dog.

              You can't get rid of Lineker, the crisp industry would collapse, with a terrible effect on British Jobs. BTW: it's "know", not "no" :-D

                  Spain is ranked 1 in the world. Rep. of Ireland is 18. Yeah - you could blame it on the numbers. :-D

                      ROI is 18? I thought there were more than 18 nations registered with FIFA.

                        Did you know Lineker traded stories of his son's leukemia battle with the press to keep news of his affairs out of it? A deeply unpleasant man.

                              He quit They Think It's All Over because he wanted to be taken more seriously, conveniently ignoring the fact he was prepared to completely humiliate himself for the massive amounts of cash Walkers were lobbing his way.
