• England or Ireland?

Posted: **Mon Sep 04, 2017 8:33 pm**

I'm English, I have also got to the point (as have many), were watching England is a chore more than anything. If I bother at all.

My question is, if England and Ireland were playing at the same time, who would you watch considering our many Irish players.

For me I would rather watch 4 Burnley players play for Ireland (assuming Heats is benched) than England.

What about you lot?

I don't watch England because it's a chore, I watch it because I like footy and want us to do well. To answer though, England.

Ireland - and you shouldn't have to ask why after the first thirty minutes v Slovakia........
I'd just be more interested in seeing how the Burnley lads performed than our national shower of well, you know what.

England because I'm English.

Me also.
So invariably, it's Ireland for me too.

Posted: **Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:28 pm**

I'm English so it's England obviously. Bit of a weird question to be honest.

Ireland because they play better football

It amazes me that England pretty much fill Wembley for these qualifiers. I doubt I'd bother turning up even with a free ticket.

You beat me to it seamus it's gotta be oirland!

To answer the question: Ireland, given the Burnley contingent and the tougher battle to qualify.

Posted: **Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:46 pm**

England.

Posted: **Mon Sep 04, 2017 9:53 pm**

Ireland because they are in the same group as us and right now we need them to finish third.

Did you watch the last Ireland game? They were woeful.

Two screens bc iam english and irish

Ireland.

I can't bring myself to care about England any more. The team is full of players I really don't like when we play against them.

But there are plenty of Irish players I'll cheer for.

Posted: **Mon Sep 04, 2017 10:06 pm**

No contest, England.

Posted: **Mon Sep 04, 2017 10:06 pm**

England cricket though...that's an entirely different question.

Top team of top blokes. Come on!

The Republic for me.

Ireland, all the way.

Posted: **Mon Sep 04, 2017 10:15 pm**

Whoever has the most Burnley players. So Ireland then

Not quite as weird as Eddie's answer to the post though.

It doesn't matter if the first half was utter dross. I'm English, so its England, however annoyed and frustrated it makes me.

2nd half was a hell of a lot better though

I watch Scotland on TV and I watched England,passively, on my phone.

Had Ireland been playing, I would have watched Burnley.

Burnley so it has to be Ireland for me

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 6:40 am**

I think I'd watch any Burnley player in an international over watching England.

And if there weren't any playing I'd stick the Relentless DVD on.

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 6:55 am**

Hummmmm hard question , yer I would watch the Irish but you have to be at the game that's the important thing .
Come On You Boys In Green .

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 9:02 am**

Neither, outside of major tournaments all International football is crap. Just look at some of the comments on here. Plus everyone knows in advance what's going to happen.

Why waste your time with a tradition if it just infuriates you?

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 9:12 am**

Bake off isn't on till tonight?

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 10:11 am**

Ireland all the way.Both my parents were Irish

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 10:26 am**

both shite to watch.

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 10:43 am**

Great that it is that Burnley has so many players representing Ireland, it's a question that an Englishman shouldn't even ask.

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 3:06 pm**

Hoping Ireland win tonight and the Burnley boys do well and don't get injured!

Ireland for me...North & Rep in every game except against England

Posted: **Tue Sep 05, 2017 10:27 pm**

Not sure what's weird about preferring to watch a team which attacks with spirit and verve and contains at least three Burnley lads rather than the turgid stuff England typically dished up in their opening thirty minutes. Even when they perked up,it was hard to care.
ROI aren't good enough but at least they're worth watching.
