Euro 2028: UK and Ireland Bid on 21:11 - Apr 12 by NewBee | They won't. The reasonm it's a multi-host bid was put forward was because it gives them five votes in UEFA, plus the five can call in any favours that other Associations might owe them. Plus ROI adds a non-UK/EU/Euro identity etc. I think it likely that only England will be automatic qualifiers, though maybe ROI too, at least if Croke Park has to be used? While Scotland, Wales and NI (and ROI) can't really complain about having to qualify, since there is no way any of them could ever host the tournament by themselves. Besides, with 24 teams out of 53 UEFA members, and half a dozen or more no-hopers (eg Andorra, San Marino etc), each should have a reasonably chance of going through. While for visiting teams/fans based in eg Glasgow, Cardiff or Belfast etc, won't really care whether the home team has qualified or not. |

Euro 2028: UK and Ireland Bid on 18:47 - Apr 12 by Toast_R | Yes the whole thing was completely bonkers wasn't it? It was also around the time the social restrictions were being lifted so the first time people were able to go out to football, drink and be merry. Of course sh*t was going to go bad. Throw the England team getting to a Euro's final and all the enthusiasm and excitement into the mix and it was so bleedin obvious. The police and whoever was in charge of security (UEFA was it?) were completely asleep at the wheel and didn't anticipate any of the behavior given all of the factors. Absolute joke how it was allowed to unfold. You could argue that all that lead to the debacle in Paris a year later. |
It was down to the police rather than UEFA. There were lots of police in reserve round the corner but they were never called in until late. I got there a fair few hours before the match and Wembley Way was already absolutely heaving with thousands upon thousands of coked up and pi$$ed up numpties. Walking back the same way after the game, the entire road was just littered with smashed glass from a day's worth of beer bottles. | |

Stewarding was an absolute joke - just minimum wage young kids that wanted to earn a couple of quid checking tickets and Covid tests, not put their lives on the line trying to stop aggressive d!ckheads rushing the stadium | |

Euro 2028: UK and Ireland Bid on 21:03 - Apr 12 by BazzaInTheLoft | I wonder if a cross community deal has been done to make it a multi purpose stadium. |
If you mean for Casement - not a hope! I could bore you with the myriad reasons, but take my word for it, if it ever gets built, it will be a GAA-only stadium (2028 excepted). And the only reason the GAA are contemplating allowing Euro 2028 in is because this will give them extra leverage over the extra funding they need. | | | |

Casement Park was never going to happen. It was a ridiculous and entirely political decision to try and force that through | |

If R's fans reckon that your club's efforts to redevelop Loftus Road, or move elsewhere (Car Giant/Linford Christie etc) have been poorly handled, it has nothing on what a complete omnishambles the whole Casement/Euro's business has turned out to be. [Post edited 2 Dec 14:10]

Don’t know the ins and outs of it but it’s been poor from both governments. The British government weren’t prepared to put anything into Casement park. If they had they would have ended up with probably 4 home games and Northern Ireland getting a back door place in the finals . That’s the up side . The down side from a mainly Protestant supported team would mean that it would be handed over to a mainly catholic supported GAA for decades to come. Casement park will get built but it will be inhabited by a largely unsuccessful county team in Antrim. It will host the odd Ulster final , I should imagine. Winners and losers everywhere. | | | |

Do you mean against us or for his team because I swore I saw him finishing a beautiful move at the weekend on U tube .I may have been loaded of course and the memory is a bit fuzzy As for Ferguson coming to QPR on loan ( I know dreaming again) it appears the boss at Brighton does not want him going anywhere at all | | | |
