EURO 2012

eamon dun fie dem battymen

there are persistent rumours that he's gay himself

Today, Dunphy generally resides at his home near Ranelagh village in Dublin. He also owns a holiday home in Deauville, France.[2]

Dunphy married RTÉ Commissioning Editor Jane Gogan, his partner of 18 years, at the Unitarian Church on St Stephen's Green on 24 September 2009.[20]

yeah i wasn't saying there's any truth in them. i know her daughter actually. for a long time a friend of mine was trying to persuade her to get eamon to come for a beer. she acted like it was possible and he might but it never happened.

Geir's technical rigidity will be a hindrance but can Ned cease trying to wink the ball into the net?

But that's how I roll.

cox to start for ireland. WHY?

ah fuck

i dont even know who he is

i mean i have heard the name and obviously he must play for one of wolves west brom or birmingham and i trust he is a game lad but beyond that

he's not one of ours.

does this mean Doyle is dropped?

he runs a terrific tactics blog iirc

if the irish fa finally give up on football they could start a discount gay escort service called ~game lads~

not sure if that's true about cox, a mate said it on facebook but i see no lineup confirmed yet.

i was doing Long and Cox jokes when the squad was announced tbf

the logo helps to give it an official air offset by the thing that it says

John Delaney probably made the thing in fairness

the long cox thing is ancient, jpgs of the back of their jerseys in the same shot etc.

loved this.

“I have a great many regrets,” Van Marwijk told press. “My main disappointments were the defence, midfield, attack, the way our kit has these weird patches on it and the odd guttural chants our fans sang in a language that makes German seem elegant.

“Maarten Stekelenburg is OK, though.”

Hahah!

lol i thought stekelenburg has been shite so far

i wasn't expecting croatia to start with both CF's today, although as they both played so well vs Ireland I should've been perhaps. Both teams unchanged from their opening game.

Think 3 at the back suits Italy but means pirlo plays a little deeper than ideal, well he did against spain anyway.

cassano looking a little chummy with mario there during the anthem.

back 3 vs 2 CFs should be a bit different than vs 0

Yeah should be ideal, the proper centre-backs to man-mark and De Rossi to sweep.

better cross by srna than he managed against ireland

croatia are letting chiellini be the one who takes the ball out rather than de rossi

is that van marwijk quote real?

i <3 cassano

no
xp

shit

wish it was

ian wright's buddy getting angry

howard webb ffs

lovely football, good stop

pletikosa made himself big there

pirlo!!!!

ooooooh yes direct free kick PIRLOOOOOOOO

Damn!

man i love this team

pirlo :D

just lovely

Pardew

1. Allowed back on BBC after rape-gate?

2. Has 'no idea' what Ba tweets are about. So he'll be off in two days if 'Arry's denial is anything to go by.

modric lucky to still be on

Webb winking! Eugh.

What did modders do? He's someone you wouldn't particularly mind meeting in a dark alley.

a booking for modric means he misses the spain match so webb lets him off with a couple of handballs

all prem friends together

Damn!

great touch and finish
awful chiellini

oh fuck off chiellini

giorgilol chielolini
