FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Milltown Row2]

Park the bus on Monday night. A horrendous 0-0 will do nicely.

Dangerous tactic.... They have to take it to some shitty ground in the outskirts of nowhere... Make the pitch as small as they legally can five across midfield four at the back and a defender up front!! I backed Ireland for an interest...feckers couldn't hold on

It's O'Neill remember...guarantee you he'll play for a 0-0. Not a hope you'll see Wes.

In a strange way the pressure is off Bosnia!  I can see them not panicking until 20 minutes to go (if the score is 0-0 or even 1-0 to us. They'll commit to nothing. If Ireland score first they are still in the same boat of having to score one. A tense night ahead.

Bandwagon? My first Ireland game was in 1977,Giles,Mulligan,Brady,Heighway,O'Leary,etc.Thats how long I've been "on the bandwagon"

Yea but you thought you were going to Armagh in Croker.

[T Fearon]

No that was later the same year,when Armagh appeared in their second All Ireland Final,9 years before Tyrone appeared in their first

Just thinking ahead to the Euros in France now.

After yesterday things are bound to be very different for the fans.

Yeah, feck!  - The problem with this attack was that it was not isolated to one hit. It happened in many parts of the city in busy areas. So there will be pure panic should this happen again. Chances are that with security being so high the tournament should be very safe. Trouble is how much freedom will be compromised to achieve this.

Was thinking the same.
I'm guessing the guy at the Stad de France his aim was to get inside the stadium.
Can you imagine if he had and started shooting players as well as fans or blowing himself up on the pitch.

Travelling to the Aviva tomorrow night from the north, usually I stay over in Dublin so traffic and parking is not an issue, however tomorrow night I'm coming back north after the game.

What would anyone recommend for the best way to get to and get parked in the area, or is it worthwhile parking in the city centre and making our way out to the Aviva.

Someone recommended to me to park in Malahide and get the DART to Lansdowne Road, any advice would be appreciated.

Heres advice I gave clarshack pre the Germany game, its worked for us for many years..

What's parking like around the aviva?

I always come from the North across the Eastlink so can only tell ya from that perspective but once through the toll and round the corner there is parking on both sides of the road and some fields/industrial ground used for pay parking, this leaves u about 15/20 mins walk to pitch. We generally drive past all this, turn right at main junction and into Irishtown and park down some of side streets there, it halves the walk to the ground and if your swift at getting out of the ground on the final whistle it'll save you a load of time as the queue at toll can be long...

If your coming from other side all this info is useless of course :-)

Nervous about tonight

This time tomorrow we could be planning a Summer in France or calling for O'Neill's head
Fantastic opportunity but really tight at the same time

I'm quietly confident, despite only being able to see the first half of the first leg. With a wee bit of luck I think we can sneak a 1-0 win. A few more options up front with Walters (has to start) and Long back to fitness, these two could be pivotal in terms of sneaking a goal.

The defence are fairly good so we might even keep a clean sheet.

Cue 3 goals in the first 20 minutes!
