Looks like for the Croatia match, we've the 2 tiered stand behind the goal. I'm in block K2 and we've the 3 tiered stand behind the goal for the Italy match.

Nice one - Green stand halfway line

Sorted out my stand for the Spanish match.

It's in a bar standing with some friends who'll probably support Ireland and not the land mass they were born on.

Michael Fassbender to star in 'McShane'



Irish actor Michael Fassbender, currently starring in every single Hollywood movie on release, has revealed he is to take on his toughest challenge yet – 'McShane' a biopic of hapless Republic of Ireland defender Paul McShane.

"The project has been in the pipeline for a while but Paul threatening a late call-up to the Euros squad has ensured the green light," revealed the Kerryman.

"If he plays, you can pretty much guarantee that he'll do something catastrophic like give away a penalty in injury time when we're about to beat Spain, or score an o.g from the half-way line in the knock-out stages.

"People might think that 'Shame' has been my toughest role to date, but playing a disconnected sex addict is nothing compared to portraying a universally lampooned ginger defensive liability.

"The abuse he gets is quite remarkable. But then again he is really shit so he kind of deserves it.

"I've been channelling all the playground abuse I can remember to try and get under McShane's skin and know he feels every time he pulls on the green shirt of doom.

"'Fat bender', they used to call me... I was only a bit chubby and that pink t-shirt was a present from my auntie in Germany so it was mega harsh.

"Kids and football fans can be so cruel..."

'McShane' is expected to begin filming soon, with Ian McKellan starring as Giovanni Trapattoni and James Gandolfini as Richard Dunne.

That's brilliant, a real work of art.

Westwood
McShane, Dunne, St Ledger, Ward,
Duff, Gibson, Whelan, McClean,
Keane, Doyle

Starting team for the game against Bosnia. Looking forward to seeing McLean in action from the start. If he performs well, will trap drop Duff or McGeady any of the group games? No doubt Paul McShane will score an own goal and injure Robbie Keane. Oh well

How has Mclean played?

[Main Street]

McClean had a good start, the 2nd half was more of a test for him, he kept plugging away despite sloppy mistakes and obvious tiredness.
Squad deputy McShane had a good game at RB. The only danger from him was that the ref might have got fooled by a Bosnian's dive in the box after McShane touched his shirt. Kelly's wrist is still bandaged, looks like he aggravated his injury at some stage.
Gibson, after a few early glitches, settled in fine. He could well be in line to start at the Euros and he offers more ability on the ball than the others at CM.
McGeady played the 2nd half and was a class above anybody else. He looked fresh and supremely confident, not unlike the form he's been showing for Spartak in their last games where he displayed some outstanding skills.

Ropey decision this...

McGeady played the 2nd half and was a class above anybody else. He looked fresh and supremely confident, not unlike the form he's been showing for Spartak in their last games where he displayed some outstanding skills.

From the highlights on RTE2, he seemed be playing a more central midfield role.

Why the need for 20 minute of analysis after?  I'd have preferred more of the match.

[Main Street]

I watched the match streamed live, I didn't bother with the highlights.

Most of McGeady's damage was done on the right. He cut inside a few times from the right. That's normal enough, for instance many coaches will put a right footer on the left side so that he'll have to cut inside.
