Poyet to be the new Ireland manager as Georgia beat Greece on penalties.



Awesome a coach who can't even get Greece to the euros through the back door of dud teams, can't wait. Might as well stick with o'shea

The gentlemen was surprisingly good. Full swing was great especially the Ryder cup parts, found myself feeling sorry for Keegan Bradley for not getting picked as he actually seems like a nice guy compared to how he comes across on the course. I do like Rory but can understand why he puts a lot of people off, very marmite and on looking back the parking lot incident all seems rather childish now.
Gone back to house MD for some reason and forgot how good it was so about 8 seasons of that to work through again ;D

Just had a look on Wikipedia it was the nineties, we won just 8 games in 10 yrs. I remember it well we were garbage. We couldn't beat France or Scotland would have an occasional win over England and then beat Wales in Cardiff but Lose to them in Dublin. Changed times.

Reconciliation is ideal as is a 70%+ pro UI vote but in reality both are not needed nor are they realistic

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on March 09, 2024, 06:35:20 PMChrist there 2 penalties give away, Ireland had the ball with 2 and half minutes to go, can't understand why they didn't grind the clock.

90 secs left and Conor Murray does a 'Conor Murray'. Needs his P45. England unrecognisable there for most of that game. Very impressive, and we were well below par. Some contest

A game riddled with poor errors.  England fully deserving of it .

Man of the match to Jamie Heaslip.  He loaded their guns.

Heaslip should have any future microphone taken off him and shoved up his hole. That sort of trash talk should be left to the Aussies. It's childish and just pumps up the opposition.

What also annoys me is over the yrs a far more limited Welsh team kept getting the job done and won grand slams when they had a sniff, we have bottled about twice as many as we have won since the 6 nations started

6-2 split also looks rather foolish all of a sudden

Pretty pathetic, right bottle job, that England team got thumped by Scotland who just got beaten by Italy. We really do keep believing the hype. That twit heaslip said we would win with 13 men ffs

It needed England to be really good and us to be shit for a good game and that's exactly what has happened.

Quote from: Rossfan on March 08, 2024, 11:39:52 AMIf the Euro soccer doesn't happen due to no more £s from the Brits then provide what you can with the funds available..new pitch, 5,000 seat stand, some terracing.
Imagine thinking a GAA style stadium straight from the 60s would be sufficient going forward for years... Clones needs replaced, an Ulster final location is needed. Your suggestion ain't it
No Brit money = no Euro soccer = GAA have £80m (possibly plus our €50m).
Who then is going to pay the extra £75m to build a 34k capacity Ulster Final Stadium?
Just asking a realistic question ;)

I already posted that plenty of good stadia around Europe have been built recently for the 120 million mark for that sort of capacity seating and terracing. They just need to find good honest builders, unfortunately most GAA redevelopments cost the earth for not a lot which should be raising all sorts of red flags

Quote from: Dreadnought on March 06, 2024, 09:00:52 AMI think this refers to the temporary seating required for the Euros. As they don't need such a large field for soccer games, they will have a method of installing seats in sections that will be come over some of the GAA pitch. I think this would mean that an initial section of the main stands at pitch level will be terracing to allow these sections of seats to be installed, linking into the main stand itself.

No it will be just the same footprint but one end that was originally planned to be fully terrace will have seats for the euros due to UEFA criteria but post euros can have the seats removed and rails for terracing then placed bringing capacity back up from 30000 to 34500

To be honest the sensible answer is both GAA and stormont up the money from what 15 million and 62.5 million in 2010 is in today's money. I'm guessing that will bring us up to around 115 million plus 45 from Dublin. £160mill is a pretty good sum to build a decent stadium. If the euros is such a biggy then London delivers the rest but I'm at the point where I couldn't give a stuff about the euros

Quote from: AustinPowers on March 01, 2024, 09:50:42 PMAm I correct  in saying the original cost was £77 million? Now it's £308  million?  That is mad

Would a squad of  Polish builders do it for less?

That was 2011. GAA was not planning for a stadium that meets UEFA requirements. Even Croke Park or Páirc Uí Chaoimh or indeed any GAA stadium in Ireland would not meet UEFA requirements. Construction costs have also gone through the roof post Covid.

Yes it was 2011, but £77m was also  the cost for a  bigger stadium (38k if I recall).  So that makes the current  Price even madderer.

Why would Croke Park not meet UEFA requirements?  Sure it hosted  soccer  qualifiers. As does Landsdowne Rosd currently

What exactly  are these supposed UEFA requirements ? A heli-pad for the suits  to fly in?  A mono-rail  for  them to get to their seats?


Exactly what a farce. I want the euros in Belfast but you can't justify these costs they are insane. Its sounds like a hell of a lot of lads are getting big brown envelopes at that rate
