ireland vs poland 19th of november

poland will travel to dublin to play ireland in a friendly on the 19th of november in there final warm up game for the world cup qualifers after xmas...they will be playing in the mighty croke park the greatest stadium in the world :) i got to go to that :)

Croke Park?? LOL I wouldn't agree with you on it being the greatest stadium in the world at all.

oh it is... when its not a multi million sport who build it. amateur sports stadium that holds nearly 90,000 i think that is some going. it really is amazing stadium

82,000 to be exact. It's no way near the "greatest stadium" in the world. I'll name a few that are much better stadiums;

The Millennium Stadium. Although the capacity is just 76,000 the architecture and technology is awesome. A roof that opens and closes too.

Wembley Stadium. Capacity 90,000
Need I say more?

The Emirates Stadium is also immense.

I must agree that the milolenium stadium is awesome and it has one of the best atm9ospheres in the world. Cardiff put on hell of a good show while wembley was being rebuilt, now the stadium is used fow a few concerts and welsh games. Shame really

It will be a sad day for Poland... ha ha ha.
Oh but I see it is not Hurling or Gaelic football, yet another thing that has changed since I've been away, well then Poland just might have a slim chance. ha ha ha
The craic will be mighty at that, I will try to make it over for a laugh.

Croke Park is the greatest stadium in the world, anyone who says any different has either never been there or is just jealous.

Tit!

well its cause there fixing up lansdowe road so thats why they play them there :P :D

and it was a multi billion organisation who build it.
what was the organisation who build croke park> where the a professional multi billion organisation

Have you been to the likes of Wembley, Millennium Stadium, the Emirates and the Nou Camp?



Well get them out then...!



It doesn't matter who built it. Who built Croke Park is not an issue. What we are discussing is the "greatest stadium in the world."

I would say the best modern stadium is the allienze arena in munich, was there this season with Aberdeen and it was just awesome,
But i love the maracana in belgrade for the best old style original football stadium.

Does anyone need accomodation for the Ireland Poland Game in Croke park

Impossible, this can not be true.

For such a simple thread, there seems to be a lot of fecken edgits.

I have been to the millenium and nou camp, both very impressive but the later is falling appart. I suspect Croke Park is probably one of the finest stadiums in Europe without doubt, possibly at the very top of the pile. Although some of the asian ones, and american ones are pretty impressive.



5 minutes to croke park, and then 10 minutes in the opposite direction to Dublin Airport . . . are you using time travel ? :D



Fock off

i might go to the game..its 55 euro for ticket if i have time i will go.

Best stadium does not equal how big or expansive, i find the millennium stadium pretty boring and sterile, most stadiums built today look the same anyway. Even the american and japanese ones look like bowls with seats, kinda crap.
The San Siro, Genoa ( Sampdoria ) ,The Mestilla (Valencia) and the Bernabue in Madrid i think are pretty impressive, they're very unique and have their own character. The San Denis looks amazing at night. Check them out...

Thread attached on merging:
Poland Ireland at Croke Park 19.45 BST 20.45 CET

Half time now...

---

The Polish team is getting a lot of praise from the Irish commentators .

---

Second half.

Ireland decided to let Poland get more goals due to the massive layoffs.

Poland was allowed to score straight away in the second half.

0-2 now ...second half just started

Thread hijack alert....

has BB bribed Scott Carson. Germany gifted the equaliser ... 1- 1

Go Polska

Ireland 1 Poland 2

6 Minutes left........


C'MON IRELAND

It's all over.
Poland 03
Ireland 02

It was exciting there at the end......a few more goals...exciting!

Good match, it sounds like the better team match.

Yeah, that was a great match. What a strike by Lewandowski to put Poland ahead 3-1. That really made the difference.

yeah, I can hear the Polish in the back ground.

Sounds like there'll be a great night for many people tonight.
Many Poles will get the "Irish flue" tomorrow morning and not be able to go to work :)
