Republic Of Ireland v France
Anyone interested? Any predictions?
I was just reading a few articles on the front room site about the game and it's got me looking forward to it, even though I normally hate international breaks.
I also genuinely think the Republic will win. 1-1 away, 1-0 at home is my prediction.

Very funny. Nice to see their Napolean complex is still going strong!
If only it were true.

Way to go Dunne!What they say:
France coach Raymond Domenech after the play-off draw: "They are the England Bs. There won't be any surprises in the World Cup play-offs, we know precisely what to expect."
Republic of Ireland defender Richard Dunne: "Every time a tournament comes round, they have all these world-class players and a man (Domenech) who seems intent on messing them up."

It certainly was. He should take a trip up N-East Paris !kagni wrote:Wasn't Domenech the one who referred to Bolton as the a*sehole of the universe when Mendy moved here?
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

when he could have easily given a penalty about 5 minutes earlier and chose not to?H. Pedersen wrote:If I were the Irish FA I'd hire a PI to look into that referee's phone records. Five bucks says he got a few calls from Platini and Blatter lately. We'll never see video technology implemented; it makes it harder to rig games.
was one of those things. ref might have missed it completely with the amount of players in the box. linesman should have seen it though.

Still struggling to find any comment from the UEFA President on this blatant cheating...what a surprise.
The report on the UEFA website says just this.

And so came extra time where in the eighth minute a hopeful France free-kick found its way to Henry, who squared for Gallas to head the goal that takes his country to South Africa.
