Nope - I said I was being tongue in cheek. I couldn't care less about the LOI.

The people calling Celtic and Liverpool fans idiots mean every word they're saying.

Big odds on Liverpool -1 given the squads

Clubs in the top league have been allowed to have one weekend off to play friendlys because they start early with European qualifiers

I really don't see the point of that. Why not just get on with the season once it's started?

Liverpool have as much chance of winning their league as Celtic do of not winning their league.

The optimism of Liverpool's supporters is sometimes outstanding. It might still be Liverpool's year...and if not, it will be the year after...or the year after...

Strange that Celtic are able to cancel a league match in order to play in a friendly....no doubt they'll be whinging about fixture congestion at some point later in the season.

did it last season for the real madrid match.

Really? I don't think there's a single person who is confidently even predicting top 4 in our thread, let alone winning the league.

I had a bit of hidden irony in my post, sorry, if that wasn't clear enough.

For me, qualifying for the Europa League would be realistic.

Watching purely in hope of a pro-wrestling invasion from the LOI teams.

Hey I don't make the rules

Some amount of negativity in this thread.

Doesn't reflect town anyway which is a sea of red and buzzing for the game.

Happy Monday

Is this game on television anywhere?

Remember the team we had 5 years ago.
Torres, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Carragher, Agger, Reina, Arbeloa.

Once the debts are paid off the FAI will find something else to piss money away on and Irish clubs at all levels will be left fighting over the scraps.

Why let a good stereotype get in the way?

All teachers are dossers, all cats are evil, all liberals are PC-mad liberal dreamers and all Liverpool fans think they're going to win the premiership - it is known, Khaleesi.

Sorry, I said earlier in the summer that it's our year. Our outstanding summer was only reinforced that belief.

LOI and diehard Ireland fans must be going spare, 1st time Aviva is sold out for a football match.

livinginkorea

The Aviva is looking well

Michael Owen can ruin any occasion. Fantastic atmosphere, YNWA was amazing, and then his dry ass tones.

Christ Michael Owen again

Surely God Saved the Queen and Rule Britannia were played and not Amhrán na bhFiann?

Alan Kelly reffing, he'll try to make it as much about him as he can.

"It's a great way to start the Premier League season" er what?

I'd be pretty sure a few Euro Qualifiers sold out and the opening match against Argentina when Messi played?

Usually, its the LoI heads who like to make the point about poor turnout for the national side and then the support of the foreign teams sells out the home stadium.

I'm sure you're able to make the connection without the confused face.

livinginkorea

Celtic are not at the races so far

cson

Did it not sell out for Germany and Russia in the qualifiers? Pretty sure Estonia was close too.

livinginkorea

Nice work there, especially from Allen
