Nice stuff from the Irish again :sleepy2: :sleepy2: :sleepy2: :sleepy2: :sleepy2: :sleepy2: :sleepy2:
If they make it to the World Cup they're sure gonna grace the tournament with their lovely flowing style of football and entertain on the world stage ... nah! :crazy:
But their fans will have a few :occasion5: :occasion5: :occasion5:
Would love to see the Danes :ole: (yeah I know it's the wrong flag!) spoil their little :occasion9:

Ireland really are one of the most unentertaining football teams to have played (or attempted to play) the game we love. Let's hope they cock it up in the 2nd leg. Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland are both truly AWFUL and just spoil any attempt by their constant cheating. :banghead:

Is this what Pulis would make Wales? Would we care if successful?

Seriously who cares, they deserve to be there more than we do and they beat us fair and square. Seriously some of the complaining on here about Ireland being "Thugs" "Cheats" "unattractive" is laughable considering we all moaned about Wolves saying the exact same thing about us. Stop being Hypocritical ffs.

Absolutely spot on, when we got beat by Ireland I said fair play they done a job on us. It's part of the game, while I wouldn't want to watch it every week it's an art in itself to stop a better team playing. Warnock has done it and has it in his locker when we need it, when I played it was just as enjoyable beating a better team with blood and guts desire and a will to win. They will run through a brick wall for O'Neill like our lads will for Warnock.

As for us at wolves, 17 shots that day together with the ugly bit, that's the perfect display. :thumbup:

Fair and square, really?

They set out to take out key players, it was so blatant.

As for comparing the way ROI played and how we played against Wolves? ... we had a great cutting edge against the Wanderers, we moved the ball quickly and incisively along the ground and we were well worth our win that day, we played some lovely stuff.

Yes Fair and Square, O'Neill got his tactics spot on, they stopped us from playing and out muscled us every time. I'm not gonna complain about another team being overly aggressive to win a football match as I have seen us do the exact same thing to other teams and I'm fine with that, it supposed to be a man's sport. And as for "They set out to take our players out" I'm not surprised considering what Taylor did to Coleman and Bale's Challenge on O'Shea in the first leg or have we all forgotten that?. Lets stop complaining about how Ireland beat us ffs.

The Bale and Taylor challenges were a result of the dirty Irish tactics and the referee not stamping down on them.

It's a bit embarrassing the bitterness toward them really. Yes they ruffed us up but the game before we snapped one of their legs in half with one of the most shocking challenges I've seen. Get over it.

Some of their challenges before the leg breaking were horrendous. I think that caused the angst that resulted in the broken leg challenge. Wales had to respond as the Ref wasn’t protecting us.

Hang on no way can you blame them 2 absolute disgraceful acts on the Irish style of play, get your head out of your ass. So if you do not win a free or feel hard done by you have a right to deliberately injure someone. I believe both tackles that night were attempts to hurt another professional. I believe both Bale and Taylor are good kids and both incidents were moments of madness they both regretted instantly.

However defending it and blaming anyone other than the person who committed the foul is an absolutely ridiculous statement that even the players themselves would not agree with. Grow up.

Taylor didn’t attempt to hurt Coleman. It all got out of hand. Mostly caused by the rough house tactics of the Irish not being stopped earlier with a yellow card or two. Wales started to reciprocate and sadly it resulted in a broken leg for Coleman.
