Batman Posted 13 June, 2016 Author Share Posted 13 June, 2016 I wanted Ireland to win, every Irishman I've met has been friendly and has had no hatred towards England. but why are Ireland almost treated like a home nation in sporting regards.

whelk Posted 13 June, 2016 Share Posted 13 June, 2016 Wonder what they'd have to do to lose the world cup?! Is annoying. While england fans have been dicks abroad for years, our leagues are very safe and we never seem to get close to getting a tournament. Quite happy if everyone boycotted it and delight in playing in empty stadia. Won't be a fun colourful event for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-Armstrong Posted 13 June, 2016 Share Posted 13 June, 2016 Gianluca Vialli: "Graziano Pellè is not a player that is easy to fall in love with, but it is hard to not respect him." Rio says he's played against Graziano and he thinks when the ball is in the air Pellè is very, very hard to try and handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katalinic Posted 13 June, 2016 Share Posted 13 June, 2016 insane to honest I know a couple of people who were out there and they all say the same thing.

Especially as he is better than Austin and post injury Jay Rod. Strange IMO to be happy to let a very good striker go, one who scores important goals, allows the team to play a certain way that none of our other strikers can facilitate, and (crucially) is available for a high percentage of games. Are we likely to do much better than Pelle without spending very big money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 13 June, 2016 Share Posted 13 June, 2016 you do remember when he falls off a cliff for a whole 3rd of a season? How many strikers are banging goals in all season? Would you not take Giroud because he has periods in which his form drops? He has also clearly played through knocks for Saints, probably because Austin and Jay Rod aren't reliable fitness wise. He doesn't have to start every game but he is a great option to have. Experienced, knows his game and of his type is one of the best in the PL. Don't think we are a good enough team to just sack off someone of his influence and quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 13 June, 2016 Share Posted 13 June, 2016 you do remember when he falls off a cliff for a whole 3rd of a season? But now Rons gone maybe Pelle won't be auto first choice, with no real pressure on his position, I think we would get more out of him if he isn't starting every game. He is still a good option to have in the squad one that none of our other attackers give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still a good option to have in the squad one that none of our other attackers give. He hasn't been a first choice since about Boxing Day but still made vital contributions...Stoke away, Liverpool home, Palace home etc. He still has a couple of good years in him and teams like us shouldn't be tossing away one of the three or four regular scorers we have in the squad.
