wasn't it that they'd have to pay £20m more or something if they did?

I think it was along those lines, there was a mandatory buy clause for more than they wanted to pay so they just didn't activate it and then signed him for the lower amount afterwards

It's funny especially when France got knocked out of the following World Cup that qualifier game was for in groups*.
Point is, if France couldn't do it, the Republic of Ireland mens national team definitely wouldn't have. I don't understand to this day why anyone on this dumbfuck island thought we would have gotten anywhere further than France did.

*I think it was for 2010 World Cup but I may be misremembering.

Fella, you underestimate the quantity of dodgy plumbers working for dodgy landlords, doing half assed jobs on sites, on occasion, or at the time putting bills into NAMA, who would be happy for a jolly away from "her at home" aka "the old ball and chain" to go support "the lads in green."

It's why Keane is apostate. He demanded professionalism from the biggest bunch of slackards and drunks on the face of earth. And that was just the players. Imagine it seeped through to gen pop. There'd be carnage.

I have a vivid memory of one of the Milan teams, which at the time played a very narrow formation, destroying the sides of the pitch before an important CL match against a team with great wingers, but unfortunately I can no longer find anything to support this memory so I may have mixed up some of the details

Maybe you're thinking of Souness' Rangers? They narrowed the pitch for a game against someone with great wingers, which resulted in UEFA bringing in a rule that teams had to register the pitch dimensions before the season starts.

I don't know if this is the one I'm thinking of or not, but I have a vague recollection of a Champions League game being halted in the second half because of a snow storm and they had to finish it the next day. Overnight, the home team cleared the snow only on the half they were attacking in. Anyone else remember this?

Between the lot of you you've mostly got it right. Game was abandoned 30 minutes into the first half because of snow. Game continued the next day, with the pitch cleared as above, with Juve to attack the goal on the left in the second half. Galatasaray won 1-0 with a Sneijder goal.

It was against Arsenal at San Siro, Milan won 4-0. They pitch had been relaid earlier in the week but only the wings, it was brilliant.

It was in the early 2010’s, don’t remember exactly.

And then Arsenal won the return leg 3-0 to go out. Kevin-Prince Boateng, Robinho (x2) and Zlatan the scorers for Milan, now there’s a goddamn motley crew.

This was the same season as Arsenal’s 8-2 loss at Old Trafford and the trolley dash before the summer window closed.
