McGeady is well over-rated.

Well maybe you should watch him week in week out and not just judge on a few poor games for Ireland

McGeady has played poor but did anyone see his shot?

****e.

Will have to wait for the highlights then so. Cheers man.

In fairness, week in week out in Scotland is a different kettle of fish.

jimmyboy

How bout Champions League then???/

Yea was a crackin shot Est. No run up, stil managed a lot of power behind it.

estebancambias

The guy has clearly got talent, you can see it when he touches the ball, his first touch can be amazing, but he is just lacking something for us at the moment.

Raskolnikov

I think McGeady has done well, better than Duff even.

Bounty Hunter

the Irish players look like they know what they are doing that is a huge improvement on the previous era. Keane looks far more confortable playing this role for Ireland than he has thus far for Liverpool (though they are still getting used to him). O'Shea isnt a CB and hasnt played there for ages... he should be a LB or beside S.reid in our next matches depending on what traps plan is for A.Reid, will he still be played in the role keane occupies atm.

I dont have chance to watch the game,tell me how is it looking,Ireland is any better than before? I see they have 0-1 at the moment

noodler

All our players have talent. The CL is only around 8 games a season for Celtic though. I was disappointed to see him signing a new massive deal.

People go on about his display against Milan but I don't know if that means all his CL performances were as solid.

lisbon_lions

I dont know what Trapps has put in their porridge, but I like what I see so far, they are passing the ball about with great composure and zip - using the width. My only concern is J O'Shea at the back, the guy looks out of place big time.

estebancambias

Defence is our weakness, I personally think Doyle looks quite good.

Necronomicon

Do RTE have extended highlights of this later?

Edit: Got a stream.

The Volt

Pitch is terrible for the second half =/

noodler

Hope Doyle moves on before the window closes.

estebancambias

The pitch...

SuperSean11

I only started watching. How are they doing?

I thought you guys already know that thing about pitch when you play against someone from scandinavia....

Vokes

Is it a straightforward 4-4-2, McGeady on the right, Duff on the left?

The Volt

Attacked well 1st half

Just a few glitches.
1. Finnan's not fit
2. O'Shea's not a CB
3. Defensively we're dodgy with simple balls over the top

delija_sever029

Ireland is more offensive than Norway so far,or playing kinda defensive?

delija_sever029

I started watching just at the moment Norway scored.....:(

Bounty Hunter

pesireland

what the hell was Shay thinking ???, thats some rain that is

juvenal

1-1

Great assist by Finnan?

Conditions are brutal, looks worse than Croker on Saturday!

noodler

Thought Kiely was in goal?

good answer BH

Raskolnikov

I was going to say Kilbane was having a good game, but he did have a part in the Norwegian goal

Exactly what i was thinkin

ShaneU

Crap I didn't know this started so early only just tuned in at 50 mins

The pitch is like last Saturday in Dublin.

Bounty Hunter

its a shame Ireland looked really good in the first half when the pitch was playable... now Norway are coming more and more into it and have a very lucky goal.

happy Carew isnt playing

pesireland

we are in real danger of losing is game now, what was keanes goal like i missed it

Bounty Hunter

hunt and Kelly on

Raskolnikov

Hunt and Kelly coming on for McGeady and Finnan.

pitty we don't have a Tony Casino or Niall Quinn type player to lauch long balls cause this pitch is unplayable imo.

delija_sever029

You are lucky you dont have sand on the pitch,thats on what we played 2 years ago:D

pesireland

just seen keane goal :cool:

juvenal

What was Keane's goal like? I only got the stream for the second half. Any linky?

estebancambias

We are not Argentina, but the pitch doesn't suit us.

Raskolnikov

Wish A. Reid was playing

noodler

Not on this pitch I don't. Good for fitness? The game?

Trying to look at positives.

sorry mate seen it on a replay on the tv

Raskolnikov

Match has gotten pointless now. No point passing the ball with the conditions.

delija_sever029

Conditions are sh!te so you cant expect good game,anyway i think its good result for Ireland and that goal for Norway was sh!te,i will watch Italy-Austria now
