Airtricity 11 vs Man. Utd - **MOD NOTE POST 457**

That_Guy

That would've been an awesome goal.

Great cross in there

It is what is to be fair, what were you expecting from 11 random players who had never played together, who play at a much lower level than United, if this were Bohs or Rovers or even Pats, it would be quite different. The size of the pitch is entirely relevant aswell. United would be much more used to it.

Mr Alan

Even amongst this ****e ramshackle team, Berbatov STILL looks ****e!

That_Guy

Is O'Shea getting booed?

Shame you missed Rooneys epic performance as a pool fan it would warm your heart.

Might have been mentioned before but that announcer's voice is ridiculously annoying.

Mission accomplished Rico, running around 4 Bohs players for the 90 minutes and getting 1 injured ahead of the Dublin derby with Ricos favorite team on Sunday.

Also ensured our keeper conceded more in 70 minutes than 10 LOI games this season.


job done, hope he makes his flight to turn tomorrow.

Mission accomplished for Delaney as well, seeing his favorite team lift a trophy in his shiny new stadium while ruining whatever shred of respect our league had before tonight. Dunno who voted him back in.

That_Guy

If I was a United fan, that "trophy" would be the excuse for me to go out on the batter tonight.

Mister men

Just got a text from a friend at the game. Said the stadium was devoid of any atmosphere for the entire match. Was it the game or is the new stadium a flop?

Bob the Seducer

Wonder if the FAi will release a commemorative DVD of tonights game...

Well I'd imagine most of the people there weren't exactly used to going to games so I'd say that was a massive factor.

No. Just that the team wasn't up to much and there was nothing to shout about. Wait till next week when theres proper teams there.
Jaysus embaressing lifting that mickey mouse cup. Typically FAI.

I'm sure he'll treasure that prestigious airtricity emblazoned man of the match trophy for the rest of his life

baldbear

Oghhh jaysus. Pure Fr. Ted. I don't think we'll get much English out of him....

The legendary hero, Dave Mulcahy, is now the only player to score in the last match at the old Lansdowne and in the first match of the new Lansdowne Rd.

Call him up, Trap.

Jaysus, Powell had a complete disaster against Valencia. Some of these replays are fierce damning!!

yup we nearly signed him the other day, imagine getting a player who cant compete with Valencia.

Ah here, I'm not even trying to make that sort of point. I'm not blaming him or belittling the challenge he faced. Just interesting to see a player get so badly beaten by his immediate opponent. That's all.

dsmythy

You won't see Rovers whacked 7-1 by Juventus. Not even on aggregate. You might see Bohs thumped by a Welsh team though. I don't know. It depends on the game and the day that it is I guess.

Bohs fans reckon hes been **** all season since he didnt get his move across the water.

i just want a left footed player we are top of the league and dont have a left footed player playing regularly

Could he play left mid? He looks comfortable on the ball, pacey, all that stuff. I remember watching him closely in the Red Bull Salzburg game last year and he was great going forward but was targeted a bit when Bohs didn't have it.

Lads, anybody have a link to anywhere i can watch this online i missed it cause of training?

You said (accurately) earlier in the thread that most LOI clubs would struggle in the Championship. Why then do you expect a player like Powell to keep a player at the one of the best clubs in the world in his pocket?

Didn't catch the game but will have a gander at the player tomorrow.

@dreamers75: are youse in for Powell?

frantic190

Wonder will MNS show it? Or even have Rico on the panel.
