manc_don Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Cracking end to the season there. Shame for Blackpool, but just didn't have enough in them. Wonder where Adam will end up next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Blackpool and Birmingham now Blackpool will be missed by many, Birmingham missed by very few I'd imagine. Turgid fare from them throughout the season. Big Eck sacked tonight and takes the West Ham job within a couple of days is my prediction.

Big Eck sacked tonight and takes the West Ham job within a couple of days is my prediction. Probably aye. Souness sums it up about Blackpool by saying they should have been able to see out one or two of their 2 goal leads. Redknapp arguing and losing.

Precisely. Same with West Ham. Someone did a "half time league table" and West Ham were way up the league... but if you can't defend leads for 45 minutes then I'd say you probably deserve to go down.

Blackpool probably couldn't afford decent experienced defenders, West Ham actually had supposedly decent players at the back, who probably aren't. Unless the whole shit season is down to Grant being a useless cunt, I'm thinking it's the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Blackpool seemingly have qualified for Europe Gera's Red Card for fulham means they finish 2nd in the fair play league by 2 points (if it had been a yellow they would have finished top_ So thats 2 championship clubs in the Europa League next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I would've preferred to see Blackpool stay up. I like Holloway and Blackpool's attacking mentality was good to see even if they are now living proof as to why teams don't do it more often. I wanted Wolves to go down. Shitty club with an arsehole of a manager. Whinging cunt. They even invaded the pitch at full time after a home defeat to Blackburn. What a fucking embarrassment. I quite like Martinez so was pleased to see Wigan stay up. I would've liked Brum to stay up too because I like to see McLeish doing well. Can't comment on the Scottish Cup final because I didn't watch it. Lot of shite. One thing about this weekend though is it was a cracking advert for the EPL. MoTD covered it superbly.

glasgow sheep Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Eire 5-0 Northern Ireland Looking at the line up im thinking the North dont give a fuck about this tournament I wouldn't know if they did or not. Looks like the FAI's crazy pricing for these games has come back to bite them on the ass, looked about 10,000 in the ground tonight. Tough for Scotland to win this now, hopefully they win tomorrow so they at least make a game of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_min Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hardly Crazy prices, €30 for Ireland games and €20 for non-Ireland games. I do like the idea of the tournament, but the format is just shite. Just like N.Ireland. On a plus note, it's looking good for me flying over tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, any (Irish) fan who bought a ticket for it also gets free entry to both Welsh games this week. My flight today has been delayed.

manc_don Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I thought all the flights had been sorted, but just had delays due to the backlog? Sounds like you should get there no bother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 just over 6000 people turn up and they put approx 3000 of them in the stand behind one goal This tournament ROCKS!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Didn't watch the game, but seemed like a decent comeback? 6000 Attendance is shocking though, can't see them breaking even for hosting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissapointing crowd but guess more folk will have decided to just head over for the weekend match rather than the whole week. I think the tournament has been a great idea (although I would say that given Scotland's two wins). Much more valuable to the manager than normal friendlies, with a bit of a competitive edge. Probably need to make some adjustments to the tournament (could it not be like the 6 nations where home/away is alternated each tournament?) but overall pros out weigh the cons.

tlg1903 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Aye fuck playing all the games in one city, a six nations format would be miles better and drum up waaaaaaaay more interest in fans. Dont see why it couldnt be played over the season as well in place of friendlys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont see why it couldnt be played over the season as well in place of friendlys I'm still surprised that this hasn't been picked up by the various home nations FA's. The 6 nations is incredibly successful and exciting, I don't see how something similar couldn't work for football. Obviously England will be the stick in the muds who don't want to comit to something like this, as they probably view themselves bigger than all the rest put together. But staying in one city for the whole tournament? pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
