[Sicilian]

How did you start watching Irish football?........ just wondering

[Sicilian]

I am 3/4 Sicilian and 1/4 Irish so after Palermo i like to watch Irish soccer. My Grandmother is from Cork so i support them best. It is enjoyable to watch for me because it is not as much a buisness as the English clubs and the guys just love to play and go all out all the time. It is more physical then Italian and Spanish leagues even if its less skilled but its a refreshing change to watch sometimes. I play football myself at a low level and i was coached this summer by a player from Cork City and that got me watching it a bit more too.

[Laury84]

I support Derry too!!!
I support Inter..but I also support Derry in Ireland and Celtic in Scotland...
So you're Italo-Irish?That's great..I think that italians and irish are the best people in the world...and they have got a lot in common...
But where do u live?Italy or Ireland?
P.S.ci state tenendo testa voi palermitani st'anno eh?complimenti e buona fortuna

Why is this? Why would someone from Italy start watching Irish league football..... makes no sense.

[Laury84]

I support Inter...but I love football so much..so I watch not only the Serie A,but also the Eircom league,the scottish and the english premiership and championship...Maybe I'm crazy..but football is my life...

Ok, just a little obsessed though

Yeah...but I also have a life away from football...

Actually i live in NYC lol. Damn straight Palermo is in first with you and don't worry we will wipe the floor with Samp this weekend we rested our starters during our UEFA game.

Derry i enjoy watching along with Cork City they are my favorite Irish teams but i am not nearly as fanatical about either as i am with Palermo.

How do you watch Irish games? Is thier a way to get them online? I get them from time to time on tv and replays and all but i can't watch them with nearly as much regularity as i would like too.

[Laury84]

Idem...I watch the replays in internet 'cause in Italy there isn't a television that shows the eircom league....shit...I love Ireland and that's the reason why I started to watch the eircom..
What do u do in NYC?

[Sicilian]

well i was born and raised here, my parents are from the places i mentioned above, but i was born here. I like watching the irish league because it is so much different from Serie A, not as skilled but they play with heart and it is good fun to watch.

[Laury84]

Yeah...I agree with u...I would like to see the entire matches but in italy i think that nobody (except me) would like to see the eircom league, so I will not huv the possibility to see them on the national tv!!sigh sigh...

I don't know about Italians, but Irish are definately one of the best people in the world. Just Joking.

Germans and Irish also have a lot in common.To respect the friendly relationship between the two nations, and becuase Ireland played Germany in our first post WWII game, we decided to honour the Irish we used ( and sometimes still do) a green jersey for all away matches.

[Laury84]

Wow...I didn't know it...thanks..I don't know...but what hav germans and Irish in common?I know what hav italians and Irish in common:catholic church,culture,family love,emigration,they're nice and kind...maybe it's the same for the germans...

[nachi88]

Historically, and religiously we may not have much in common, but I remember reading that Irish exchange students come to Germany on a very large number, and vice versa.

Yeats was influenced by Geothe, and Geothe influenced by the Irish country side. So our fine arts are influenced by each other. And most importantly, Ireland is happy when England lose, and so are we :p

Ireland also knocked out Holland from the WC 02.Thank you guys.That created one of the most famous fan chants of the WC 2002 and 2006.

ihih...I'm also happy when England lose...expecially 'cause they think that they're better than us (italians)...

[ulster21]

ihih...I'm also happy when England lose...expecially 'cause they think that they're better than us (italians)...

I don't mind Italy & I'm glad they beat "France" but they are one of the most boring teams too watch.

[Laury84]

ohhhh.........don't say that...did u see the game against germany?
And england was more boring than us in this WC....

[nachi88]

Actually i always supported the English team. Its just that they take the rivalry a bit too far. England would always be the 3rd or 4th team I support in cups.
So, once in a while watching them lose is fun. :lol:

With Holland, it is a different story altogether. :yell: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

[Laury84]

But what team do u support first?GERMANY?

[Cro_Leviathan]

Italian soccer is the dirtiest futbal I've ever seen being played.. I've never seen so many purposeful fouls..

[Laury84]

All right....so watch something else!!!!And call it football not soccer,we're in the european section...

[Sicilian]

The dirtiest team without a doubt is Portugal, but France, Holland, were undoubtedly were worse then Italy and many others were on par. We were not anym,.ore boring then most aside from hte French game. But enoguh with this shit this is the Irish section.

[Laury84]

GREAT JOB SICILIAN!!
I LOVE U!!
lol

[Sicilian]

ok man that is wierd, but thank you i suppose :D

[Laury84]

you'r the 2nd person today that thinks that I'm a boy..but F*** off..I'm a girl..
And don't take "I love u" in that way...I wanted only to agree with ur post..

[Sicilian]

haha i'm sorry, there are so few girls who know anything about footy i just assumed you were a dude, no offense intended.

I knwo what you meant and i was kidding about that too, don't take me too seriously i have a bad habit of getting caught with my foot in my mouth:)

[Laury84]

Yeah..no problems...somebody told me that, I don't know where, Laury is a male name....So everyone thinks that I'm a boy.....sigh sigh....I should post my photo...

[Sicilian]

That would help, it is nice to have ladies around here though you bring different perspectives oftentimes. And it is nice that you are not a mindless cheerleader like some but actually enjoy the game for mroe then the boytoy aspect of it. Nice to hvae you around hope you stick around.

[Laury84]

I'll be around...

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

is anyone here from Derry? i can honestly say we are now the best team in Ireland and unfortunately we were only noted for our magnificent cup run.....CANDYSTRIPES for the Treble!

[Laury84]

oh cool do u live in Derry?nice to know that...I love ur team...and I wanna see ur city too...

there's Ulster...he's from derry but he doesnt support Derry...:sad:

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

its cool to know that someone from a huge city like milan would like to come to our small humble city.. :D ....the diffrence between our Brandywell Stadium and San Siro is we have a dog track :) lol
Derry City FC might actually be entered into the champions league this year as Shelbourne (who beat us to the league on goal diffrence) don't appear o have the funds for champions league....
so hopefully...AC or Inter could oneday meet us...then you could come to see the city...:)

[Sicilian]

hey danny i started this thread a while back but long ago gave up on finding a fan to talk with :(

off topic hear, but have you ever seen play/met a guy named Phil Neiland from Cork City? early 20s played there a couple yeras back wondering if you knew of him, i'll explain why later....

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

sorry man havent herd of him...

glad to have someone else to speak to about derry...didn't really pass my mind that there would already be a thread about our small club....

might i ask where you are from yourself?

the city has a great, great deal of historical importance.....and you will no doubt see that on your visit.....i feel you will enjoy your stay and while you are there make sure you get to an Eircom League match at the Brandywell.....although the stadium is not big...the atmosphere is immense.......we are in fact known to have the best support in the country......

there..ive done my bit for the Tourist Board...:smoking:

yeah...good job...any good and cheap hotel?? :p

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

ahhh in fact there is for you.....da vincis hotel :)

lol barcalona team stayed there a few years back when the came to play a friendly against us......the likes of Ronaldinho, Marc Overmars, Carles Puyol, Javier Saviola etc....absolutely amazing....and it helped the team from going bankrupt!.....good times....now the future is brighter than ever....

oh wow thanks...I dont know if hav to ask u something else...it's an expensive city or not??well uve got the £ and not €...this is bad...:sad:

wow...Yeah maybe one day u'll win something in Europe and u'll see not only Barca in Derry!I hope that 4 u!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

its not overly expensive and actually i would think that compared to major cities in europe it is relatively cheap.....e.g to go out for a meal in Derry would set you back about £8 sterling.......it shouldn't be too hard to exchange your euros as we are situated on the border of the Republic of Ireland....

yeah I know that...but I prefer Euros u know...but I went to England so I know how to change it...
btw let me think....£8 are more or less 12€....so...yeah its not so expensive...cheaper than milano!

it really shouldn't be that UK still has its own individual currency....its a pride thing....the british having to have the Queens face on currency......would be so much more practical if it was all on euros...especially for a small place like N.Ireland.....

btw not trying to start any arguements with anyone british...:worried: .....its just...true..:S

oh yeah...Inter is my life...I'm obsessed with football...I go often to S.Siro coz thanks God I live in Milano...

what about u and DCFC?

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

yeah i go as often as i can to the Brandywell....went to the amazing cup final in dublin aswell......don't know if you would have heard but it was infact the greatest cup final in football history ( after Liverpool v AC Milan, Istanbul:D ) we played St Patricks Athletic....1-0 down at half time......brought it back to 1-1.....then by full time it was 2-2....(Derry scoring a last minute injury time goal) then by half time extra time....we were down 3-2.....right after the short interval....we brought it back to 3-3 and then.....in the very last minute of the match.....an o.g. won the cup for us!! :D

sorry about the essay but this really is what football is about in my opinion.....:heart:

yeah I totally agree with u....and yeah the best match was LIVERPOOL-MILAN I agree with u!!!oh...what a pleasure!!I hate that shit!!oh...yeah...great job by Liverpool!!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

AC got really arrogant and cocky in the 2nd half....they felt theyd won it....any other side wouldnt have sat back and dismissed the other sides chances......

ive always preferred inter....got 2 of their home shirts :)

Irish...likes inter...WOW!!excellent choice danny! :D

well milan is arrogant...in every match...they just think that they are God or stuff and that they are Milano....but WE ARE milano...not them!!

btw u should see the Derby Inter-Milan in S.Siro...the power of football!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

what i don't get also is how lenient was the whole investigation in the "match fixing scandal" towards AC? :S seemed like every time the appealed they less points taken away..and regained their place in europe......thats a scandal in its own right!

0ooo u reli should see the North-West derby then.....Derry City against the " mighty " Finn Harps;) ..... lol yeah i would love to just look at the San Siro on TV nevermind be there!! :p

[Laury84]

well no comment about that thing...only 8 deducted points and they can play in the CL?!?!Cmon...and u know why??only coz of their president Berlusconi...that's a big scandal...they were probably more involved than Juve!!:mad2: :mad2: and u know what?!?!now we are the evil...not them...f*** off.

S.Siro is great...in my opinion the best european stadium...wow!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

as an inter fan, are you happy having to share a ground with AC? in my opinion neither club would choose to play anywhere else as its such a great place....

i bet...the San Siro doesnt have...a greyhound race track?:hat: ;)

well now they (both inter and milan) are thinking to build new stadiums...just to hav an inter stadium and a milan stadium...but I dont want them...I go to S.Siro since I was 4 years old and all my memories are there...I wanna go to S.Siro 4 the rest of my life...And believe me whatever they will build...nothing is better than S.Siro!!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

if only they could just ***k AC off somewhere!!

[Laury84]

if only they could just ***k AC off somewhere!!
oh yeah! :lol: :lol: :lol: nice to see that u hate that shit!!!:lol: :lol:
u cannot even imagine how much I hate them!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

theyre not even really that great anymore....pack of hasbeens i reckon.....how old is nesta now? and is costacuta still playing at what 53?:p oj ....but you get my point....lol

[Laury84]

theyre not even really that great anymore....pack of hasbeens i reckon.....how old is nesta now? and is costacuta still playing at what 53?:p oj ....but you get my point....lol
yeah yeah I get u totally!and u're right...their younger defender is more or less 36 years old! :lol:
and this season we hav 28 points more than them....oh...what a pleasure!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

kaka is well over-rated....as is in my opinion ronaldinho......when was his last outstanding performance?.....for the supposed best player i the world...he had a pretty average at best world cup....

he will never be as good as zidane......

btw inter are still in the champions league yes?

[Laury84]

Well I hav to admit that Kaka is a good player...but in this season is not excellent like in the past seasons...pretty much coz all milan sucks at the moment! :lol: :lol: :p

yeah Zidane was a great player...I cannot say no....even f I hate him he was really great! :)

yeah we are in the CL...we hav to play against Valencia...I hope that we'll win and that Celtic (I LOVE Celtic) will kick Milan's ass out of the CL!!!

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

Celtic are great i went to see them a few years back.....one of the best supported teams in the world......i really do see them causin an upset and knocking out AC......and maybe im being a bit optimistic but i can see liverpool knocking out barcelona.....:Pray2:

in actual fact.....liverpool supporters ARE the best in the world!! :evil:

[Laury84]

I wanna go to Glasgow to see an old firm match...I love Celtic...they're great...and u're right their fans are the real celtic power!
well I also like Liverpool so I would like to see both Celtic and Liverpool go on in the CL...and I think that they can do that...really...:)

but what's ur fav team?Derry or Liverpool?in a match between Derry and Liverpool who do u support?

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

probably Derry cause they are my local team but the thing is i'd be happy regardless of the result....doubt it would happen though.....it would be amazing if any irish team actually made to the champions league/ uefa cup group stages......

in saying that we got to the first round proper of the UEFA cup in the summer.....one game away from the group stages.....

not sure if you heard about that but it was an outstanding acheivement for a team like us......

yeah it would be a great result...I know what u hav to do this summer...but the last summer u played against PSG right?

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

yeah we held them 0-0 here in Derry.....but we also beat IFK Gothenburg (2 time UEFA Cup winners) both here and in Sweden and then destroyed Gretna of Scotland....it was like a mini battle of britain if you know what i mean.......they are a up and coming new side and were expected to do well......we beat them 5-1 in scotland! in my opinion they were a bit arrogant/ignorant because they just thought they were better....... we beat them 7-3 on aggregate......

great times....the glory days are now but i really expect us to do better this season.....Irish football never gets recognition but i think now derry are bringing it to the european stage.... :)...

:lol: 4 the battle of britain...:lol: yeah I know what u mean...:lol:
well they were arrogant yeah...A lot of teams when they play against a supposed "lower" team are arrogant...but then they lose and they understand that maybe they were wrong...

btw believe me here in italy I'm not the only one who knows the eircom league....there are a lot of fan of the SPL here...and now also the eircom is improving...:)

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

are you serious? i never would've thought that....we barely get enough coverage of our own league over here nevermind in italy!

the Football association of ireland is a bit of a shambles though....not enough funding.....big teams are going bankrupt e.g Shelbourne....Shamrock rovers......and ourselves a few seasons back but we managed to survive......

i know that nearly every football fan is slightly paranoid about bias against their team....and i certainly am one of them! its cause were from the north....the dublin referees always seem bias....:( even on irish TV the "pundits" as they like to be called never give us a chance of winning the league....

thats why its even better for a team like us to propel irish football forward....more satisfying...lol

very disapointing last season when we finished 2nd on goal diffrence to shelbourne.....there were definately a few matches where decisions went against us....they were costly as if just one of those decisions went agianst us.....we'd have won the league and be in the champions league......

there...had to get all that out of my system :hat:

believe me....the SPL is probably more famous than the EPL...But also the eircom is starting to grow up...:)

really they are so "racist" against u coz u're from the north????poor Derry...they are only afraid coz ur team is the best! :D ;)

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

mostly dublin teams :evil: have 2 h8 the dirty dubs!

i wouldnt really say "racists" :lol: but more like..."bastardists" :mad2:

lol :)

so do u play in a team??do u think that one day u'll play for derry??;)

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

yeah i captain my side but were not really that good....im not sure if playing football would be my career path choice.....partly cos im not really good enough....doubt id play for derry as the standard is getting higher and higher......maybe a low division northern irish team but i doubt it......

my current team has an amateur club playing in N Irish 2nd division....theyre called Oxford United Stars so maybe but as i said its unlikely.....

wbu? should i be looking out for a laury in an upcoming womens world cup? :p

its a nothin league....alot like the Eircom league at times...but it does have sum good moments as well....

glad 2 see that the relationship between the 2 sets of dans is improving....

linfield, glentoran and portadown would be great additions to the eircom league if it ever came round....

[Laury84]

One league is not a bad idea..... yet I would object to Ulster teams joining the Republic of Ireland league.... The two leagues should merge to form one new league.

in their heyday they were a force to be reckoned with but now.....:boo:

Derry City is the future of irish football! :smoking:

[Sicilian]

Danny who is your favorite Irish/Northern Irish player?

Personally i love watching Robby Keane play.

[Laury84]

nahh 7 years in all.....im on my 4th year tho :D
and what the hell is the "thing" (GSCE or something like that) that u'll hav the next year??

do u like rugby?

[ulster21]

Ulster who is your favorite Irish/Northern Irish player?

Personally i love watching Robby Keane play.

David Healy

[dexboii]

my favorite irish player is steve finnan coz hes a fantasic right-back but he doesnt get the credit he deserves.

[ulster21]

Gotta love those former Welling United stars ......:lol:

[Sicilian]

David Healy

Yeah he is a good one, a shame he didn't make it at United i would get to see him play much more often.

I knwo you aren't exactly a republic of Ireland fan, but what do you think of robbie keane?

[normthebarman]

My favourite Irish Republic/Northern Irish players are Alan Maybury and Andy Kirk respectively.

Purely becuase they played for Hearts..;) :D

Actually, Maybury was one of my favourites when he was at Tynie. Battled hard and gave 110% everytime.

A lot of fans loved Kirk but I wasn't one of them. A not bad striker but nothing out of this world.

[ulster21]

Yeah he is a good one, a shame he didn't make it at United i would get to see him play much more often.

I knwo you aren't exactly a republic of Ireland fan, but what do you think of robbie keane?

Good player.... but I think he could have been alot better..... it seemed as if he stopped progressing as rapidly as he was when he was younger.

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

Danny who is your favorite Irish/Northern Irish player?

Personally i love watching Robby Keane play.

favourite irish player at the moment is readings Kevin Doyle....sum story behind him....2 seasons ago he played half a season for Cork City then signed for reading for like 50,000 and now is like 3rd top scorer in the premiership....

as for nothern irish fav player...i'd have to go for the 1-cap wonder Derry Citys Patrick McCourt.....

hes a legend in our city..

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

and what the hell is the "thing" (GSCE or something like that) that u'll hav the next year??

do u like rugby?


theyre exams that i have that i take to re-enter into college fr the final 2 years

honestly i cant tell you what it stands for!:S

[Laury84]

mmmm....this is really strange....and u'll hav other exams after those two years right?

[8-DannyMacDCFC]

mmmm....this is really strange....and u'll hav other exams after those two years right?

yeah :boo: but the GCSE's are like a year away so im not reli worrying too much :)

oh and to answer your earlier question yeah i like rugby....too bad the quality of irish rugby and italian football wernt the other way around....if you know what i mean.....

really confident ireland can win the six nations this year.....

if only soccer in ireland was like rugby because of the way the ireland rugby includes both players from the republic and northern ireland...

[Laury84]

well I think that we'll never win the six nation!! :p
but the last year we did an awesome match in Cardiff...wow...I still remember it!!!I know that for u a tie is not an awesome thing at all...but for us it is!!

well when I was in Ireland I saw a match between Leinster and Ulster on tv...wow..it was awesome!!

[Sicilian]

Yeah i like Kevin Doyle too and i think he will get much better in coming years. Too bad he is playing for Reading i hope he moves to Palermo soon :D
