Hi Folks,

Not a fanatic soccer fan myself but Im going to Aviva next Sunday for the Austria match ... (there's 2 of us going)

Im from the North so I dont know whether to take the car or the train..

Someone said if I took the car I could go through the port tunnel and possibly park at Clan Na Gael football ground .... Not even sure it would be available or free as its a Sunday..

Ive only ever been to Aviva for Rugby before and it was always on a Saturday and usually got the dart out to it..

Any advice would be much appreciated  (btw, "dont go" isnt an option  )

Got home late last night and turned on the TV to see the aftermath of "Germany 1 - Norn Iron 0" on BBC1 with that moron Mark Simpson jumping up and down like a clown and gleefully saying "All we need now is for the Republic to get beat and we're through" .... WTF 

The p***k could have said it about various other teams or even just said we need results to go our way, but no ... get the Republic out ... Its a disgrace that a tube like that can be allowed to come out with something like that whilst reporting for Norn Iron TV ,, and area which would have almost 50% of the population supporting the Republics team ...

I was seething .. until good ole Marty McGuinness was interviewed and asked about northern players playing for the Republic .. he basically  responded that they should be able to play for whoever they want and if a player wasnt good enough to play for the Republics team then he could play for the other crowd...,. Brightened my day up completely 

Did anyone see this ... Christ it was awful and the most one sided thing ive ever seen on TV...

As far as this show was concerned the rebels were just like ISIS (and they actually said that at one stage) and the poor British were set upon for no reason and just handled things a little badly .. All their wrongdoings were summed up in a word "Mischief" ...

Took some going not to put the foot through the TV .. but then that would have been just stupid
