Jesus H Christ, 3 everton fans in one place at the same time in Ireland....this is a first! :)
Holymoly will tell you, I have been a blue all my life, there is a funny story about me telling people about this kid called Rooney a few years back and being laughed out of the clonliffe house by a shower of red scum, isnt that right Holy ;)
But i am seriously disillusioned, not just with Everton but with English football in general. No matter how many bad element follow Dublin/Mayo/Cork/Meath etc I have never once heard anything even coming close to what i heard at the derby last week. Its pathetic. From both sides

Whats that A. Brooks!!
Tis true Liam has endured the hardships of being an Everton since he was a nipper.

In the last 8 years or so I've found my interest of the premiership waining very badly. It really doesn't come close to the atmosphere and passion of GAA. I know a lot of people will think that this might go out the window with the grants, oops I mean eligible expenses. But knowing that these lads are playing for the love of the game makes you appreciate the game much much more. When fellas are being paid 100k a week, will they really be upset if they miss training or don't put the effort in on matchday?
I've found that the rivalry between soccer supporters in Ireland seems to have got more extreme lately. As a Liverpool supporter I wouldn't regard myself a die hard fan but when you see people squaring up to each other over an argument as to what people say about the club/steven gerard is nowhere near as good as paul scholes etc....jaysus lads what are you getting so upset about.

Anyone else annoyed that Brady was commentating on the game last night. I like him as a pundit and commentator but having him commentate on a liverpool arsenal game with such high stakes seemed a wee bit crazy????

Agree completely ballgirl. He was definitely pro Arsenal and I heard him on the radio again the morning and it was the same.

I'd agree Holymoly. My own interest in the premiership has also waned a bit in recent years. There's no integrity to it at all any more, some of the players are only in it for the money. The clubs themselves should never have allowed the money situation to get so out of hand. United are rumoured to be preparing a 140K stg per week offer for Ronaldo, with Real Madrid sniffing around. It's obscene money really.

And you're right about the League of Ireland aswell. I was at the Bohs Rovers game on Friday evening and there was a real nastiness in the air between the rival supporters.

Dannymc. Hope comply or die was the only one you followed.

I propose that League of Ireland soccer be scrapped!
Then, once we have cleaned up our own back yard, we can try to get English soccer banned and then the world!

Anyone see the shennanigans of Dunphy last night after the Pool Arsenal game? He's some stirrer - thought it was a bad ready up on Brady. Heard he was walking out during the break and was talked back in. And ye talk about GAA pundits!

JayoCluxton (Dublin) - Posts: 2688 - 09/04/2008 13:09:40    5269

i felt brady was to-biased towards arsenal!! he seemed to think it all had to do with luck when infact it was bad defending!! RTE shouldnt have him analysing an arsenal game when he is employed by arsenal
dunphy is there for the conterversals
