Gribz 837 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Didnt realise this kicks off early February. The first match is played in Feb then the remaining 2 games in May. IMO all games would have been better within in the same week however that would mean having all 4 sets of supporters in 1 city for the week so from the point of view I can see sense in it being split for fans are only around for 3 days. Im quite looking forward to it and find it way better than needless friendlies. Having a competitive set of matches can only blend the national team better in time for WC and EC qualifiers. Fixtures all in Dublin: 8 Feb 2011 Rep Ireland v Wales 9 Feb 2011 Scotland v N Ireland 23 May 2011 Rep Ireland v N Ireland 24 May 2011 Scotland v Wales 26 May 2011 Wales v N Ireland 27 May Rep Ireland v Scotland 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 837 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 This thing has no credibility (a) without England and (b) with ROI. Cant agree with that especially (a) without England. If they think they are too good for it then they can piss off. Id love them to be involved but so what if they are not. If it was called Home nations or British Cup then your correct but its a nations cup therefore it doesnt matter who is in it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be absolutely certain the tournament would be taken ten times more seriously with England in it. When people start taking something seriously it becomes credible. My guess is that the majority of fans couldn't give a damn about this 'Celtic Cup' or whatever they've branded it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 In the past we have done rubbish against Wales well under the 2 worst managers in my lifetime in Vogts and Burley. We lost 4-0 or 4-1 under Vogts and 3-0 under Burley both results shameful embarrassments but unfortunately Wales actually have a reasonable group of players we have Darren Fletcher... We drew with NI as well which at home 2 years ago which is also not good enough. So I fear we may be last. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
