From the Bunker

Jack Charlton changed Irish soccer. We started to qualify for tournaments. People started to have a interest in the National team. He set up a system and it worked. He was lucky he had great players. Our system was found out in the 1994 world Cup and subsequently in the 1996 Euro qualifiers. He had no plan B and the golden era of players had grown old. He should have left after the '94 world cup. But that is easy to say now! He is a Legend and will be rightly so remembered, but god the football was awful!

Anybody have any idea if tickets will go on general sale of the Ireland V England match? My wee lad is asking to go and I said I'd have a look.

Thanks

They were on sale at one time but had to be bought in a package of 3 games, including Poland and Scotland I think. I dithered for a while and never got round to it and they disappeared. I'd be surprised if they came up again??

Thought that myself, be mainly to season ticket holders and match packages.

I'll keep an eye out anyway.

I PM'd a lad there from Monaghan on facebook I know from going to games, who had 2 up on facebook for 100 quid...he put up ad on 12th so not sure if he still has them. Will let ya know.

Edit: replied there...probably gone but will know in morning for sure, you next in line though. Two season tickets in singing section behind goal, best place to be. Father and son used to stand infront of me with no hassle, young lad used to just stand on seat.

If you go on to the YBIG forum there's a specific thread for buying and selling of England tickets at face value, you might get sorted there

Bingo

Got sorted with 2 for game this morning, happened to see on facebook that there was a general sale on ticketmaster this morning if anyone is interested.

Bingo Jnr will be happy.

Great stuff.
Don't know what to make of this game....two teams going through the motions, wouldn't be ideal to get turned over badly before Scotland game.
Scotland game is huge, owe those fcukers big time for the match in Glasgow, some shithole too of a place too.
Scotland are decent, Strachan has them playing as a unit. Do or die for us.

Aye, Scotland game would be the better one to be at but Bingo Jnr was all keen for this one (the power of the premier league and the players he'd know!).  Early kick off on a Sunday, so it will unlikely be a red hot atmosphere either.

Scotland game is massive. I don't think there is much between the sides, think Ireland need to focus more on the football this time and look for a bit of invention from somewhere. Scotland could well come to take the draw and will make it very hard.
