I am watching on TVU and the Chile match on bet365.com
check out  some links here

fingertip save by the aptly named Bravo for Chile
but really speaking, Ecuador are not up to much, Chile have a very good team, much better that whats on show in Montevideo.

I wonder if that 10m fence is electrified.

Chile fans are all doing the bouncy.

 Simple goal really
ecuador go up the other end and nearly equalise
This game has woken up.

Its on at the same time.
Has a nil nil feel to it.
But you never know.

It's car crash football entertainment tonight

Thanks for the link,
I really can't make out what is happening with his hand while they are on the ground.

Can that open palm shove with the hand be regarded as contact with the eye?
Looked more of a gentle nose squasher.
I think Jennings would be hard done to receive a suspension for that.

I dont think anyone is suggesting not going to a doctor.   

Its fair enough if you dont believe what they do, I dont really buy it myself but ridiculing someone for believing something you dont is the height of arrogance.

Quite right.
Arrogance towards  and ridicule of beliefs here, have nothing to do with science,
more to do with emotional immaturity.

So what would the "emotionally mature" approach to the events at Knock be? To let them go without comment or at worst take a "live and let live" approach?

Just because a belief or outbreak of mass hysteria is sincere does not make it worthy of respect.

It might have escaped your attention that mass hysteria is what happens throughout the land on a saturday night.

In your considered opinion a couple of thousand people doing what they do, peacefully, on their own patch, is not worthy of respect.
Neither is it worthy of the disrespect you have exhibited. That is the emotionally maturity you need to grasp, but you don't learn that from some scientific study someplace.

I presume you've never had a chuckle at the expense of some person or group doing or believing in something you consider idiotic then so?

Sorry, but I think that something like this should be labeled for what it is. Whether it's a bunch of catholics reading something into the fact that they see strange colours after staring into the sun or protestant fundamentalists sending their money to some preacher in the hope that their god will bestow riches upon them to pay off their credit card debt or, to go to the extreme examples, those who reject medicine in favour of prayer or drink the kool-aid. If you think it is "emotionally immature" to be disrespectful of such behaviour, suit yourself. IMO there is far too much respect afforded this type of nonsense, purely because it is religious in nature.

In your opinion, too much respect is being given to those who congregate at Knock, (by who I do not know) therefore it is justified to be disrespectful.
Yes, that is emotional immaturity.
Just as immature as your hysterical examples.

Where's Ziggy when you really need him around?

Does anybody apart from myself not agree with Dunphy though! Ireland had the lead with 3 (THREE) minutes to go and let it slip. It was shameful if you ask me...

Not to hold onto that lead was pathetic yes.
The performance to go one up with 3 minutes to go was not shameful.
Dunphy called the whole performance shameful.

Dunphy even started arguing against the selection of OShea as eircom MOTM and arguing with Souness over a point that Souness had actually agreed with him on. Dunphy has clown value for morons.

I enjoy Dunphy to be honest probably becuse I'm not really a soccer fan -  but it's great entertainment when he's on  - the show would be a lot poorer if he wasn't on it.

Hook is of a similar mind set on the rugby.

At least you are honest.
It has nothing to do with the sport.
Dunphy appeals to football morons whose taste in entertainment is rather brainless.

Or are we as a nation thouroughly undeserving of the credit laid at our name of being the land of a hundred thousand welcomes, because, well, we're basically a bunch of racist, intolerant, ill mannered c***ts?

Loads of undeserved credit is being laid on the land in the name of Nama.
