Never get the fascination of going on other teams/countries forums
Who gives a f**k what they think? Every single one of their fans that I met in France, Dublin or Cardiff was sound. Very gracious in defeat last night and this morning.

I knew that was coming from the Apostle forum. The music would play for a few bars and then the crowd would sing it acapella. It's an unusual national anthem in that it is primarily sung as a choral piece.

Buzzing. I was in Dirty Martini on Mary street or whatever it's called and met James "Ginge" Collins. Was pure sound. Then Danny Gabbidon walked in. Sound sound lads. Chatting away, said we deserving to go through etc and wished us the best.
Now IMO we probably didn't do enough over the campaign to get through but as I said we would have all taken a playoff. Brilliant team performance with a great gameplan but obviously I would like us to keep it more and play. 1 defensive mistake, 1 chance and we scored. Did we actually have another shot? Personally I want Croatia in the draw. A lot of stuff going on there behind the scenes. Fans are turning on them and no better nation to upset the fans than us with solid defending and restricting teams.

Apart from the goal it was great to witness that Welsh anthem. Hairs on the back of the neck moment fairplay to them. Wish we could try something similar in lansdowne for the playoff

Got home last night at 10pm after a ferry from pembroke that seemed to take for ever.
How them ferries stay going on a normal day ill never know I seen about 20 people of the 300 or so on it that were not irish fans... Nice way to travel if it didn't take as long 5 hours from time of going off and getting off maybe more. What an away day ...yes a few idiots did travel but you get that with it being so handy to get to ... Lots of irish students in the uk at it it seemed that couldn't handle their beer. The borough bar was good craic before the game and the night before . The away support was as good as I've heard in a long long time ..15 minutes after the whislte was just hair standing stuff.... My voice has just come back!Yehhaaaaaa rool on the playoffs

The only side to win in Wales. The only major side to not win a key home game. The only side to win in Austria. The only major side not to win in Georgia. It was a mad campaign with 4 sides of roughly the same ability. We should have won it, had enough chances to, and it'll be a very long time before we have a group as weak as this to qualify from again. Wales showed what they are, an average limited side with nothing to be scared of, who big time bottled it when the heat was on. They haven't made a WC in 60 years, and are by some distance the weakest top seeds we've faced in at least 30 years. They haven't beaten us in 25 years, haven't scored in 10, yet we approached both games treating them as if they were Germany or Spain. We had 1 shot on target at home and 2 away. Possession was replaced by aggression, and the card count kept piling up. Meyler got himself stupidly booked in injury time and is now suspended, McClean was lucky to stay on the pitch late on. Both could have been off and neither could have complained. Brady may still face his third suspension of the campaign. Despite it, we held on comfortably enough, but we haven't qualified for anything yet. There are plenty of sides in the playoffs, most of them just wandered off the pitch, (including the brits in green making it for the first time) the tournament just goes on for at least another month, as it does for us. So I'll save the celebrations for when we actually qualify for the finals themselves, like the rest of the world does. |

Spine tingling , could literally feel the noise going through me. I was Sat on half way line and both sets barely stopped singing until we scored, after which they seemed to sing in bursts. I've been to a good few big derbies, Champions League games etc and this is up there with the best of them |

We could learn a bit from the Welsh in terms of singing. I don't think they stopped once in the first hour. We're not bad ourselves at the Aviva but we could do better (our away support the other night was fantastic though, we were determined not to be outsung by the Welsh).

Something that has gone unnoticed is that we are a bogey team for the Welsh. Only one Wales win in the last 11 encounters (way back in 1992) and they have never won a competitive match against Ireland.

Well a lot of people think the Irish language sounds harsh and quite Germanic so it's horses for courses. I quite like both languages, the two of them are at least 1500 years old and predate English by centuries.

You can distinguish words in the irish language but the welsh language is just awful. Its not even words. Its just coughing and spitting. Hurts my ears if i listen to it.

Thought this myself but it wouldn't suit our anthem as an uptempo militaristic march style song. Suits theirs which is basically a church hymn
