Last night.
Ceres Park, Copenhagen Aarhus., Denmark.
Michael Obafemi (above with mother Bola and brother Affy) made his senior international football debut last night when he was brought on as a substitute during the Republic of Ireland’s goalless draw with Denmark.
Mr Obafami, who was born in Dublin and plays for Southampton in the Premier League, was also eligible to represent England or Nigeria but committed to play for the Republic of Ireland earlier this month.
In fairness.
Michael Obafemi: ‘I want to get as many Ireland caps as possible’ (Irish Times)
In fairness what? Are we supposed to be grateful?
At this stage, yes.
Irish football is at an all time low. Delaney seems more concerned with censoring flags and banners than correcting what is wrong.
Andrew has big issues with immigration, btw you never answered my question at the end of our last discussion, maybe you’d care to now ?
Are all your family Irish born, your colleagues, your friends? Is this why you have such a limited view of what an immigrant has to offer our society, economy, gene pool and culture ?
Have you no history of emigration in your family ? Have you ever lived outside of Ireland ?
Just trying to understand what makes you so bitter Andrew ?
btw I know this chap is Irish born but Andrew follows a certain theme….
I totally agree with you Janet, andrew definitely has an issue with immigrants its a theme in many of his posts.
Not grateful.
Glad he is playing for us. We need decent players.
absolutely this.
“Last night.
Aviva stadium, Dublin”
Eh nope. T’was in Denmark lads :-)
Thanks, World’s Biggest Ranter, fixed now. Sorry.
not the aviva – that’s from Ceres Park, Copenhagen (the home of Aarhus Gymnastikforening)
and it’s the premier league, not the premiership
Sorry, Brother Barnabas, fixed now. Thank you.
no, bodger, I’M sorry – it’s actually not copenhagen. it’s Aarhus.
No worries!
Is that Aarhus in the middle of Aarstreet ?
Mind you, so much of my fluffy pants are being dry-cleaned these days I have no doubt this innocent joke will make it past the long suffering, wonderful and scrupulously fair moderators.
Galatians 6:7
That would be madness.
I lol’d Bodger.
Proving that even the Muppets were occasionally funny …
Have you never seen the Muppets Christmas Carol?
The best Christmas movie, I may add.
No, that’s Love Actually.
don’t @ me
Bertie, I’m shocked.
(and slightly appalled)
wait until you see his underpants
Wait until I turn up at her door holding signs like Andrew Lincoln, see how appalled she is then.
Oh I’m so easily swayed.
Sometimes I think Brother Barnabas and Bertie would make the best couple on here.
YOU GUYS!
I’m not ruling it out at this stage.
How COULD you?
The Madness chat is a turn on tbh.
would you be willing to wax your back?
[interestingly enough (to me), Our House was written by chas smash – real name cathal smyth, parents from drumcondra. he’s mad about hurling and used to spend his summers playing when back in dublin. also, like the rest of madness, he was a very good football player (arsenal fan) – and wanted to play for ireland. he had a longstanding bet with suggs, who wanted to play for scotland, about who’d get capped first. neither did. he lives in spain now]
His solo album is very good, worth a listen.
there was a nice piece on him around the time of A Comfortable Man on c4 –

quite touching – shows what a decent, nice guy he is
Nice one BB.
He’s a great friend (sleeps on his sofa kinda friend) of a friend of mine but, kinda like Johnny Marr, I’ve loved him for so long that I don’t ever wanna meet him.
NERD.
Ah well
Watching Ireland play at soccer reminds me of watching Morecambe FC in the 1960s
And when will people question the salaries paid out for the FAI

I remember them well.
The chairman was a butcher who used to bring the pies to Christie Park on matchday still wearing his blood-stained apron.
