The TV commentary on RTE2 was something else trust me. Fair play to them for that final 10 mins and never giving in. Bizarrely they had Didi Hamann in the studio. I think he mustve been in Dublin on a stag weekend.

Im sure some melt will be along shortly to say he only touched the ball 10 times in the game.

Mad game. Great entertainment - Hungary clinging on, Ireland despite being undermanned, throwing the sink at it.

Fantastic late run by the Irish team that - never gave it up. I bet Troy Parrott never has to buy a drink ever again. Great hat-trick

Right wing grifters/politics itself can only succeed if people are angry or told that they should be all the time over anything - lies/falsehoods or the manufactured creation of enemies that dont exist. It sadly thrives on hate not hope, & has no positivity besides a ghoulish joy at others suffering

The wealth being redistributed before your very eyes - Robin Hood style

Noted. Youve often a better chance of reaching Hannibal, Face, Murdoch and BA than The Happy Garden - the holy grail of Midd's Chinese Takeaways, and also a bizarre concept of time. "Itll be ready in 20 mins" means 55 mins on the Happy Garden clock.

Off to Gullivers after the West Ham home game I think. Like Doctor Who's Tardis that place - with the monsters in situ as well

Thats the one. Was an "experience" in there

What was that name of that dodgy place opposite the side entrance to the Arndale? Had scrotes in there selling stuff theyd robbed straight off the rack from the shops in the Arndale itself or asking you what you wanted & theyd pop in & nick it for you "fresh." Was genuinely like thar Bar in Airplane

Oh aye! "Nods acknowledgement." We dined from Wing Lee in Alkrington this evening - mixed Starter half decent, and the Salt & Pepper Box was on point, with an added curry sauce garnish where required.

Carl as he was more commonly referred to. That was the game with the David Rocastle double drag back - m.youtube.com/watch?v=zSH7...

"Shudders"

Nope - we had that joyful experience 2 years later.

Happended a few times. Apparently though we have no fans yet somehow still regularly had very high attendances for the 80s and 90s, despite the fact we were largely tripe. Almost as if the narrative about our fanbase is a load of bollocks isnt it.

Spot on 👏👏

Doku was off the scale good yesterday. Gonzalez utterly fantastic - like Rodri before him in takes a while to grasp the hold role in Pep's system, but he's got it now. Nunes has somehow become a serviceable player too and was superb yesterday - fun times.
