Fifa's Sepp Blatter has revealed the Republic of Ireland have requested a spot in the 2010 World Cup finals as an extra team after their play-off defeat.
The Republic lost to an extra-time goal against France when Thierry Henry handled the ball during the build-up.
I hate to say it, but it’s becoming embarrassingly desperate now…
“If he wants to learn about scoring goals, he should nip over to watch us train at Lennoxtown some afternoon and I'll show him a thing or two about finishing”
Blatter's knock them back anyway.
Wow... way to lose all self respect.
Fuck it, why not just let every nation in to it?
we can start the tourny right after new year, should get it finished for the start of 2011.
“If he wants to learn about scoring goals, he should nip over to watch us train at Lennoxtown some afternoon and I'll show him a thing or two about finishing”
That wouldn't even work, how the hell could you fit one more team in if it's already set up? Doesn't make any sense.
'IF YOU GET TIRED, OF JUST HANGIN AROUND
PICK UP A GUITAR, AND SPIN A WEB OF SOUND'
We’ll win them easily.

starting to take the piss now ffs
costa rica are also looking to be added
At this rate I wouldn't be surprised to see the Irish National team travel to SA and show up at all of France's fixtures in an attempt to take to the field instead of the French.
Cant we just threw France out the World Cup and replace them with Ireland?![]()
Well I believe they're trying to not let FIFA forget France shouldn't be there, but Ireland as it stood didn't deserve to be in the World Cup either so them being there would be as bad as France being there
Oh deary me :facepalm:
I love my country, but come on, just leave it.
Fuck it, it is desperate but we were unfairly paped out at the last minute. I couldn't give a shit how it looks, if it gives us another glimmer of hope to be at the WC then it's worth it. Costa Rica were also being considered at the meeting.
embarassing now
Ireland were robbed.
The rules don't allow video evidence for a refs error.
End Of Story
Good cop and bad cop have left for the day :
i'm a different kind of cop !

no one from the FAI actually expects this to happen but i'd rather they were actually pestering FIFA than sitting on their arses mourning another irish hard luck story.
have to say though,i like the idea proposed above about just turning up at frances matches and playing.
