    FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifying Thread

    I managed to pause the video you posted right at the point of contact and Seamus is actually striking the ball so lots of forward momentum but Taylor is very high, well over the top of the ball, shockingly bad challenge. At first viewing I thought he was just late but seeing it again like that...

    New Stadium Details And Discussions

    The author of the article is a nephew of mine and also a spurs fan. He had to be all professional about the assignment and going to the launch but fair play to him he still managed to get a signed picture of Ledley King for my son and me, he said he had a chat with Ledley and he was very down to...

    Reasons To Be Upbeat

    I hope that you're wrong about the players and Poch's attitude because the game was far from up. If we had won last night, then a win against CSKA, already beaten them away, and we would have been through regardless of other results. It was a massive game and to have performed so poorly was very...

    Rio Olympics 2016

    Sorry for butting in but I don't agree with that at all. Surely you impress the judges by being the better boxer which Conlon was in the first round when he completely outboxed his opponent, then he adjusted his tactics and beat him in the second by going toe to toe, third was close but still...

    Days I'll never forget - Rafa

    A Saddens me to see people refer to a player who gave his all for our club referred to as a donkey, Michael Dawson may have been limited in some respects but he was a fine defender who played his part during a time where the club improved hugely. As for Rafa, just a wonderful footballer and...

    What our opponents' fans are saying

    That's brilliant, especially with the Benny Hill music. You could even put numbers on the steward's backs and have a lottery on which number caught the cockerel ... Ching Ching ....

    Mousa Dembele gets six-game ban for violent conduct

    I think it's excessive, haven't looked up his disciplinary record but I'd say it's pretty good, whereas Costa not so much, not excusing the action but I would have thought 4 max, obviously preferred 3. Think he might be paying the price for everything else that went on. Thought I read that the...

    Our fighting spirit.

    Two questions and their pretty obvious answers I'd like the FA panel to have in the back of their mind when considering the incident are : Is Dembele a dirty player with a history of being involved in these kind of situations - NO Is Costa a dirty player with a history of provoking players and...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

    Although initially I felt Verts was at fault, Paul Robinson was in the studio for Setanta Ireland and he called out Son for not closing down the cross which led to Anderlecht's goal as well, interesting that he seemed slow to close down Ozil on Sunday as well, something to work on there...

    What our opponents' fans are saying

    Watched the Anderlecht game on Setanta Ireland and Pat Nevin was in the studio and said that he did an analysis of Harry's goals last year and he was amazed at how many of them hit the inside of the side netting, which highlights just how good his finishing is. I always thought the doubt about...

    Euro 2016 Qualifiers

    Was at the Aviva last night, absolutely incredible night, some atmosphere. Congrats to Northern Ireland, great achievement, hopefully we'll make it too.

    Who's our best Leftback?

    Pretty much agree with this, I think that Rose has upped his game due to the competition provided by Davies and fair play to him for doing so. Davies seems to be a bit steadier but not as good going forward, whereas Rose is much more dynamic but at times seems a bit rash, he is improving all...

    Dave Mackay

    My dad saw him play and when I was growing up whenever he'd tell me stories of the great teams and games he saw the name of Dave Mackay would inevitably come up. Very sad news RIP Dave ...

    Ratings vs Chelsea in Capital Cup final

    Agree with pretty much all of this and beautifully put, as usual. Thought Walker deserved a better rating, did a very good job on Hazard and unlucky for the goal.

    General feeling moving in the right direction or way off?

    Definitely moving in the right direction. Stick with Poch and the younger players, only buy players that fit the way he wants us to play and we'll be fine. We need to be patient, the team and manager are still learning and there will be setbacks along the way, but keep in mind the bigger...

    Player Watch: Nabil Bentaleb

    Absolutely top class today, double or treble his wages and tie him to a long term contract please. Big star in the making and definitely a future captain. Been hugely impressed with him this season, not just today. Although I'd say Poch would have seen his potential and picked him anyway, fair...

    Crappy League Cup Final scheduling clash: shout out to Irish SCers

    Not for me personally, especially with Spurs in a final. I don't mind rugby but I follow my friends advice that it's fine to watch but it's not for taking seriously. There wouldn't be a problem watching the football if Ireland weren't playing, but every pub will have that on, especially where...

    Crappy League Cup Final scheduling clash: shout out to Irish SCers

    The Still House on Thomas street is apparently a spurs pub, they have a few TVs so it should be on one of them. Got this from a friend of mine who lives in Limerick but is a big Arsenal fan, he's genuine enough though. Hope it helps and enjoy the game, COYS

    Sorry about that, it was a long shot I suppose.

    Crappy League Cup Final scheduling clash: shout out to Irish SCers

    Does Anthony Daly own a pub in Ennis ?, I'm sure he's a spurs fan so while it's a long shot, might be worth checking out.
