Ireland is everywhere. And he's injured. Pure class.

Imagine he was playing against Italy

We would have run riot with the extra man.

I hear Real Madrid are lining up a £75m bid for him. It's all over tomorrows Marca. Guilleme Balllague reckons its a dead cert.

yayamark

City lucky there poor defending.

Xavi6

We're so bad at defending set pieces it's not even funny.

SlickRic

what's happened to the defensive beast we used to know as Micah Richards?

Xavi6

If only Bellamy had've squared that....

Great game and there will surely be more goals.

Guilleme Ballague also reckoned Torres to United was a dead cert a few years ago

ok i should've said 'potential' maybe, but i don't agree it was a myth.

because while eriksson was there, him and dunne were one of the best pairings in the league.

Xavi6

Super from Dunnie there

Bremen/Udinese -

1-0, Diego

Here's the Ireland goal for anyone who missed it. Fantastic goal. Lucky Lloyd should really make it a sticky.

Give zonal marking a try imo. Clearly it is proof that man marking at set pieces doesn't work.

---

Sturridge has been rubbish imo.
I forgot how awkward looking Olic is.
Dunne has been great.
Remember when Micah Richards used to be good at football?
Ireland has simply been awesome. Man oh man, he could end up being better than Roy Keane...o_O

:rolleyes:

Hoping your not serious.

I was having a joke at Real Madrid and Guilleme Ballague. He also said Ronaldo had signed for Madrid twice last year. Hence the joke. Guilleme Ballague also said United had signed Xabi Alonso while he was at Sociedad. You see? Friendly poke at Spanish man?

Well he's still a beast. Dunno about the other bit.

LuckyLloyd

Given is such a hero. What a money player!

Xavi6

Look at Stephen Ireland again. His runs from box to box are amazing. He just relieved so much pressure by getting out quickly.

LuckyLloyd

Xavi, who is Man City's defensive coach?

Xavi6

Holy shit that would've been some goal

Mark Bowen is assistant manager but he handles a lot of training and was a defender for Wales and Norwich amongst others.

LuckyLloyd

Great half of football. Tell ya what, they put up an intimidating atmosphere in that stadium!

Ireland has been extraordinary over that 45 mins.

He deserves the sack.

GLaDOS

Cracking pass and run from Ireland for the goal

Mr.Nice Guy

Ireland's engine reminds me of Keane's prior to his hip problems. He's a joy to watch.

Citys defenders in training



Is anyone finding the framing of the image not 4:3 friendly? Much of the action is right on the edge of the picture or just off it.

Xavi6

The cameraman is a fucking joker. That's why it's off.

redout

Jesus the city fans look like a bunch of yobs with beer bellies.

LoL at the bare belly dancing in the stands.

Xavi6

Bollox, Garrido on for Bridge.

LuckyLloyd

Wow, what a first touch vollied pass into the corner from Ireland there!

Xavi6

What a tackle by Micah

LuckyLloyd

Wow Shaun, need to be getting that pass right. Great work from Ireland again...

Xavi6

I love Mad Zab

Xavi6

Good lord that was close

LuckyLloyd

City hanging on by a thread.

Xavi6

Cheers Studge, you had a 'mare.

Management no no number 1: do not make a substitution while defending a corner.

Hamburg deservedly infront tbh. Jaysus though, City have looked so shakey from corners.

redout

Peno to Hamburger !
