It was the Andytown bit I liked most. Bit of Italian never goes amiss though.

Lo Mickmac you have been reading my posts. There is a lot of Italian In Andytown, now what is the name of the Italian ice cream parlour on the Andytown Road opposite Dobbins and the PD.

Bloody Italians were crap tonight, I think il revert to my Spanish mother's side.

A small but knowledgeable turnout - I got caught out by the standing for the anthem thing. Thoroughly enjoyed a good game in good company without the tension of being too involved (unlike everyone else in the Castle). Shocking defending for the last goal everyone in the Italian half. Hope Ireland win their play off for some repeat nights next summer!
unfortunately just found the play off draw is seeded so likely to play russia france croatia or greece. Will be a big ask and the play offs have been unlucky for ireland in the past losing against holland belgium turkey and another i cant remember. But hopefully they will be fortunate this time.
I think the team to avoid would be Russia. France might be beatable, they seem to have lost their way over the last 2 years, but Ireland would be big underdogs. Croatia would be tough too. Greece would not be easy. In fact, lets face it, we are buggered.

It would be nice if we qualified automatically and it would be even nicer if we copped on enough to stop giving away soft late goals


But, undefeated in a tough group, we tool teh world champions to a close game home and away - we SHOULD be looking at countries like Russia, France et al as beatable


Even if we haven't beaten a top-flight team in 8 years....

we are definately due some luck in the play offs sean. If it takes luck to qualify then ill take that. I have remembered the 4th team to beat us in play offs; switzerland.

At worst it may be good for 2 unexpected nights out in the castle though.

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.
