The Irish are a kick and run team

 

[Guest Stevie]

That game was absolutely shit, Ireland scored and put the shutters up, and that was it, shit game.

 

In fact that was the worst World Cup Group ever in my opinion (that 0-0 with Norway ranks as the worst game I've seen at a WC), much worse even than Group F in Italia 90, at least when we drew 0-0 with the Dutch it was a canny game.

McGrath.

Agree with Stevie here, fucking awful match. The Italy 0-0 with Norway was good entertainment though due to people dropping like flies.

[Barney 0]

May have been a shit game, but watching McGrath pocket Signori and Baggio was awesome.

Austria v W. Germany in '82 left a little to be desired I thought.

Really?

 

Both teams should have been thrown out of the tournament tbh. Most disgraceful violation of fair play at a major tournament ever.

Daft format allowed for it too though. It was, understandably, changed after that.

I won money on this game. A friends dad put bets on for us and I had Ray Houghton to score first goal. The jelly babies were on me that afternoon.

For both being Kraut or because of bad sportsmanship, or both?

 

Nah to be fair I reckon right up to when we beat Germany in Euro 2000, most people hated Germany, partly because we couldn't beat them and partly because they were emotionless, methodical machines. Now we realise they're not cunts at all, I'd rather be Kraut than any latin nationality any day of the week....and Alex I was too young to remember Krauts v Kraut Wannabes. Isegrim I've been to Austria its a nice place, friendly people too, does your average German stuck in a Dusseldorf highrise like Austrians, or do you view them like we view Scots?

I think the majority of Germans rather like Austria, but (arrogantly) see them as a sort of little brother who isn't to be taken seriously and who has to be mocked.

 

Some Austrians probably suffer from a kind of inferiority-complex though.

 

Anyway, for those who understand German a funny pisstake about the game in 1978

That sure as hell was a bad game, but I thought it was brilliant

[Craig 6702]

Shit game as it was... it was funny as fuck to see Aldridge and Jack Charlton hammering that 4th official because he wouldn't let any water on the pitch.

 

Probably a red card offence these days...

[Jimbo 175]

McGrath played like a man possessed that match

was an awesome performance considering he was playing absolutely steaming shitfaced.

 

 

FYP

Aldridge is still a wanker however.

That's class.

 

And they came 2nd in the Austrian Eurovision final in 2002, you know.
