a lovely finish there by Owen.

beautifully deft.

if Utd fancy it, this will be a cricket score.

LuckyLloyd

Utd really strolling it now. Could get ugly.

**** that, hopefully rogers off at HT to keep less of our players on the pitch.

Anyone know why Ndo has stayed in the League of Ireland when he probably could have gotten a game for a Championship side?

Dunno, but he does stand out on this pitch as a cut above his teammates.

He tried to get a club elsewhere (Belgium I heard) and couldn't.

He's 35/36.... LOI football suits him, and Sligo play nice football, so it suits him. Most top LOI sides would be able to compete with the championship sides down lower.

Probably is too old now, but he's been playing in the League of Ireland for years now.

Oh right, Visa problems. Could never get one in a proper league as we one of the few countries with a work visa deal with Cameroon. Hes an irish national now.

Haha, class!

Raskolnikov

Will Eoin Hand ever shut up?

frantic190

USA! USA! USA!

Ryan Guy, legend :pac:

Eoin Hand doesn't do it justice.

dsmythy

Hand on about some American woman. Those throw ins are standard fare in America as a means of gaining distance on throws.

Given that he is currently being paid to talk, I highly doubt it.

What a throw....in the replay I could swear Sir Alex said.......What a ballbag

Joey Ndo, Joey Ndo, Joey Ndo.

Great composure by Ndo. Get in the box and lash it at the nearest defender.

Any Irish team to enter the Championship would be an almost certain relegation candidate

Are we talking about the same guy here? The one who takes half an hour to play a pass, then inevitably gives the ball away and makes approximately zero effort to win it back?

Give me Dave Mulcahy over Ndo any day.

Plays for the green team.

I didn't want to say it tbh, because its only opening a huge can of worms. Agree with you 100%

I must get around to applying for a commentary job. Mustn't be many requirements.

He hogs the ball, yes. But he is absolutely magic sometimes.

He's the best attacking player i've seen in the showgrounds for a long time.

frantic190

Joe Ndo has to be on his day to be a good player, he can be completely non-existant on the pitch most days. Puts no effort in, he runs for about 20 minutes and then looks bolloxed. Getting old.

He's lazy as heck, but he's the most skillful player in Ireland by a garden mile.

A couple of years ago I'd say Championship. Now it's more League One.

frantic190

I hate to say it, but you can really see the quality gulf. United passes are excellently weighted, especially when going long. Passes are so fast paced, I think the defence, except for Peers, is coping well. Williams has been doing superb tracking back.

Are you biased when it comes to football?
Do you get a hard on for certain players?
Can you make stupid similes that have no relevance on the game?
Are you witty?
Do you continue to talk about your playing career that nobody gives a sh*t about?
Is your name Andy Gray?

Then join our new commentary team which provides an excellent rate of pay for sitting down for 90 minutes while you talk absolute crap.

dsmythy

Alan Kelly not a fan of Rooney it seems ha ha.

Can’t. Working. And it was a general comment rather than one specific to tonight.

Oatesy23 wrote: »

Sometimes, yes. Bit of a Beckham syndrome about the guy – nobody remembers the 90% of Beckham’s free-kicks that he blazed over the bar or lashed into the wall. People only remember the ones that nestled in the corner of the net. Same with Ndo – gives the ball away 90% of the time, but it’s the one outside-of-boot-overhead-backheel that comes off that everyone remembers. Not my type of player.
