Ireland v Wales, two countries with so much in common, so whats the relevance of this fixture ? Irish folk will be hoping for a win as they are slowly losing the right to play in next years Euro Championships. Wales manager Ryan Giggs on the other hand has already seen his side qualify for those championships over an exciting last few games of qualification. But of course what is this Irish thing we all know about.
However ...
Here's one - More Irish people are living abroad than there are in Ireland. There are 80 million Irish people outside of Ireland and only around 6 million in Ireland. But at this point we have to pause, apparently most of the USA think they are Irish, but out of the 17 million who think they are, only 9 of them are actually Irish. If we apply the qualification rules for playing for Ireland at football to this principle, nobody in the USA is Irish. In fact the truth is the USA would owe Ireland 78 million people as of today if this principle was applied . Its a conundrum which now solved is fact. I'm happy to help.
Many musicians in the USA also believe they are Irish, the Boston based ( clue ) band Dropkick Murphys sing about Ireland a lot, however none of them have ever been to Ireland and in fact they are more reservation Indian than Irish. Not a lot of people know that but now you do, make your own mind up. On the other hand if you apply the fact that most American Irish have great, great, great, great, great grandparents who came from Ireland the whole population of the states are Irish bar one bloke who lives in Greenwich village, New York who is actually American. When last asked he thought he was Italian but didn't know where Italy was.
Dropkick Murphys yesterday. Honestly, get a country.
Strangely enough most real Irish people in Ireland call themselves Republicans, but not like USA Republicans, more like Republicans who aren't Americans. At this point it becomes complicated, but suffice to say that's a fact as well. In Wales supporters of Plaid would call themselves Welsh nationalists but not like British nationalists who are different entirely, it continues to get confusing because Scottish nationalists are independent seeking people the same as Irish republicans. However they are not republicans. They are nationalists. Politically its a quandary.
Wales is a great place full of Welsh people from Ton Pentre and Carmarthen, however most live in Aberaeron and Whitland. The Welsh government all live in Cardiff in a large building like Antifa did in Washington a few months ago. They make rules up that primarily suit people who live in the Lekwith area of the city, nobody knows why, and many areas of Wales are not sure if any of these political people actually exist or are cardboard characters with strange tendencies. Either way there's another place there called Ely where swamp people live. In Lekwith lives a man called Anus who writes fictional books on fighting, he follows England and eats kebabs. When England scored their third goal on Thursday night he mobbed up with his next door neighbour and gassed himself in the face. He lay on the floor until a SWAT team from Belgium appeared and tucked him up in bed with a hot drink, they still have his English passport.

They call themselves republicans because Ireland is a republic.
Or as a friend from Cork told me, 'It because we like publicans.' :-) |  |

With the absentees there is a lack of quality,but with the likes of Wilson coming in we have more flare than this typically dull Eire team lacking there only decent player in Coleman.
Can't see more than 2 goals in the entire game,but hope I am wrong despite my under 2.5 bet in a treble.
Would like to see another 4-1 thrashing but I think that will have to be left until Bale and the other big guns return.

1 unnamed pikey tested positive and 4 other pikeys who have not tested positive but had contact with a member of the background staff who has tested positive.
The Pikeys price has drifted from 3.0 to 3.6, easy trading and arbbing opportunity .

Is it me or has Brooks and to a lesser extent Wilson not thrilled their potential on the international stage? And Woodburn seems to have backwards aswel. | | | |

Woodburn definitely gone backwards, has Brooks and H.Wilson progressed as much as we would have liked up to this point is the question I guess. | |

J william s must feel slightly hard done by not to be playing after his performance against England, but it would have been difficult for him into the present system. | | | |

Problem with Ramsey is we end up playing a 4-4-2. Morrell and Smith done well defensively but at times Smith is being told to come right out to engage and it's just littlest Joe on his own in there.
Pin DJ to the left touchline so he doesn't wander infield where he won't do anything. He proved he can do Christie for pace from a standing start. | | | |
