Long shot I know, but if anyone knows of any spares for the England - Wales game then please PM me. Good money waiting for multiple tickets.

I've been living in paris for the past 6 months and will be going to the Irish national team training on Thursday. Will finally get to meet Shane Long. Anything I should ask Quinn about the state of affairs at Reading?

Maybe France wasn't the best choice of venue for this tournament?

Thankfully it's not a full strike though, so things shouldn't be too bad in reality.

Wow, how typically French... they have a National Holiday to celebrate how much they strike.

Portugal 7-0 Estonia. It's only Estonia etc but apparently they were very good, Quaresma in particular getting rave reviews. I don't remember the last time Portugal went into a tournament without looking too heavy on wingers and too light on forwards but if they play 4-3-.3 with Ronaldo, Eder & Quaresma up front they could really do some damage.

And how are you finding it?

Just back from the reception at the team hotel.. Got a few selfies with Quinn and Long. Had a 2 minute conversation with Roy Keane who was lovely but probably because I led with the line "Hi Roy, I'm from Cork its a pleasure to meet you"

Spoke to Quinn for 4-5 minutes about the club. He said he thought Steve Clarke was doing a great job and thought he was the right man for us. Said hopefully next season will be a bit better and spoke about his disappointment to have gotten an injury at such a crucial time. Tellingly he didnt bring up Brian once which considering he just got sacked could indicate the players werent entirely confident in Brian? (could also mean a lot of other things)

Anyway the Boys in Green looked sharp in training and I'm looking forward to the tournament.

Or were you asking how i find living in Paris?

In that format, you had 6 games. 3 group, QF, SF, F. Wouldn't expect any more than 5, really.

3 seems low - was that the Spain deciding strikers were over-rated tournament?
