Delighted for Martin O’Neill on taking Ireland into the last 16 of the Euros. Since his salad days ended at Celtic, Martin’s had more downs than ups as a manager. I felt the game had moved on from him, even during his five years at Celtic, the game tactically moved away from him, but he’s one of a number of managers of small nations who have overachieved.
I’m not buying Roy Keane’s tears, though. Reaching the last 16 of the Euros is a great achievement, but he disparaged Mick McCarthy’s achievement with Ireland in going out of the 2002 World Cup in the last 16 to Spain on penalties. Maybe it’s time for some humility from Roy.
If anything, Michael O’Neill’s achievements with the north has been even greater. Michael was mentioned as a possible Celtic manager before Brendan’s appointment, but the point was made to me, whatever he achieved in qualifying, he could be embarrassed in all three Euros games. Now he needs to beat Wales for a place in the quarter finals.
The group stages have been a delight. Some big tactical lessons for underdogs, and for teams who face 10 men behind the ball every week. If you don’t make defensive mistakes you can win any game, possession and territorial advantage is a mirage of influence.

Good Morning
Well are we in or are we out?
Canamalar, any chance of emailing me an update on resolution 12. As a shareholder and backer of the resolution Im a bit in the dark. Its also a bit disconcerting reading the john james blog and seeing Awenawnoanono…..etc bragging that he is “privy” to the eufa statement recieved by the resolutioners. I appreciate he has a brother close to the action but is this really the way this is being disseminated, by blood relationship?
The shareholders who signed up, pledged their shares and have waited patiently have an equal right to the developments. I,ve no idea if awenaw pledged his shares or not, or if ita simply a nepotism gig.
Tell me.
Canamalar
Keep your counsel. I don’t know what’s happening and don’t need to hour by hour day by day.
And I don’t believe I, or anyone like myself, who hasn’t put the effort you Res12 have, needs to know anything except that you are working on it and will inform us of significant developments at an appropriate time.

WITS,
Love it, self determination rules (other countries) when there’s a superiority complex.
It’s a win loose for Europe, if the UK leaves Europe will have to redefine the targets/aim, federalism might cause more problems than solution, this is not America.
If the UK stays with small majority they need to integrate before legislate to implement federalism.
If the UK stays with a big majority then it’s full steam ahead with federalism and fuck everyone that dissents, the Russian dissidents got off easy compared to modern technology and compliance methods, surfing dawdell.

For updated figures
Leave currently have a slight lead of about 7k votes.
Gutted but not surprised at the West Dumbartonshire result. I’m pretty sure most, if not all of my family voted for Remain. I know My Dad voted to Remain, he reckoned the EU protects workers rights.
ACGR..
where ye at mate? All doing well?

Nasty little man Farage
The EU arose from the rubble of europe in 1945.Never again etc etc
Then this horrible brit nationalism persuades idiots in Sunderland that the romanians/syrians want to live in their city.
No one wants to live in Sunderland FFS!!!!!!
