Was in the French end, absolute w**kers. Got a full coke bottle thrown at the back of my head. Some other dickhead punched me in the chin while shoving a French flag in my face just after the French goal. I don't mind a bit of sl*gging but it went way beyond that. Numerous French fans apologised to me after the game as they could see what was going on.

Normally I let bygones be bygones, but that was just such an outrageous incident that it was a stain on football. Official incompetence, unethical play and then Henry having a line of defenders in the media. On top of that, the worst narrative of the armchair footballing pundit that the whole thing was McShane’s issue, which I always think spike volumes of the type of person that repeated that line.

Between our result and the Algerian result it was a sh*te night in Paris and only got better when I was on the train back home.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Let’s hope the lads make it right today.

The walk back to the city
Algerians everywhere celebrating their win - thank f**k. Otherwise, it would have been like the Warriors trying to make it back to Coney Island.

What made it worse is that that was one of our best ever performances. Should have won the game 3 or 4 nil.
And after all that, France went to South Africa and did absolutely nothing. How special would that have been for us to play South Africa in their own World Cup?

Yeah we played really well. Had chances to go 2 up and at least deserved ET. Would have been great to make it to SA. Would have been the last WC we’ll make before it becomes a 64 team tournament. The walk back was horrible and a lot of Algerian ***** about mocking us.

Love if we played like that tonight.
Remember how sh*te the 0-0 was in the first leg...then that anomaly of playing really well

The most fluid Irish performance in a decade and for some time before that. The spine of the team Given, O’Shea, Keane, and Duff, really took control.

We lost the first leg. Think Anelka scored.

The first leg was a terrible performance. Anelka's shot took a deflection on the way in too IIRC.
Duff's miss in the 2nd leg haunts me more than the handball, similar to McClean not squaring it to Long when we were 1-0 in Lyon.

Yes, on both counts. The French goal was deflected in Dublin....probably would have ended 0-0 otherwise. Duff's miss I remember more than the handball.....that goes in and we would have qualified comfortably.
