[goldenecitrone]

This has got 'Irish Comeback' written all over it

Mystic Frieda.

 

[Riklet]

Since when did rain hinder Ireland?

Top header that...

Ireland doin the Poznan in Poznan

 

[editor]

Should be a good game this...

 

[Maggot]

Great stuff!

Do the White Stripes get royalties every time a goal is scored?

 

[twentythreedom]

They do like a party, the Irish!

 

[JimW]

'ave it!

ETA: Been billing it as header specialists vs free kick kings here - story so far

 

[Voley]

Come on Ireland!

 

[CyberRose]

"They really are special" - why does that always come across as a dig at English fans?

 

[gaijingirl]

well the atmosphere is tense here with me having Irish parents and my other half with Croatian. We have a skype session with the family in Ireland at the end of the match for gloating purposes by one side or the other.

Does it?

 

[CyberRose]

Does it?

Does to me!

Ireland doin the Poznan in Poznan

It's not the Poznan, it's The Huddle. Celtic fans/Ireland fans did it before City.

 

[CyberRose]

It's not the Poznan, it's The Huddle. Celtic fans/Ireland fans did it before City.

But did Poznan do it before them!?

 

[goldenecitrone]

Does to me!

You're special, too. Happy now?

 

[CyberRose]

You're special, too. Happy now?

I know I'm special

 

[Fedayn]

But did Poznan do it before them!?

Debatable. City fans mocked Celtic fans doing it at a friendly in 2009, a few weeks later they're claiming it as their own.

 

[CyberRose]

Don't think they could ever claim the Poznan as their own!?

 

[Gingerman]

This is the kind of football match I like,pissing rain, frantic tempo, chances, great fans

 

[CyberRose]

Modric slipped

 

[Fedayn]

Don't think they could ever claim the Poznan as their own!?

They've tried, got family with ST's at City, they seem to think it's theirs.....

 

[CyberRose]

They've tried, got family with ST's at City, they seem to think it's theirs.....

But surely the fact that it's called the Poznan should tell them where it's from?!?!

 

[CyberRose]

Well this has been the best match so far!

 

[Gingerman]

Modric is a classy little player

 

[thriller]

when ireland equilised, the camera cut to the irish fans which led to the commentator to inform us: "that's how they party". Not sure how irish fans jumping up and down after their team scores a goal is any different to English or any other fans jumping up and down??

 

[Fedayn]

But surely the fact that it's called the Poznan should tell them where it's from?!?!

Well it's a bit of a clue isn't it?!

 

[JimW]

Spain and Italy will be shitting themselves

 

[Ax^]

 

[editor]

Croatia deserved that one.
