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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
