Rep of Ireland v Russia - 8th/Oct/2010

Dublin_Gunner

Championship v Premiership tbh. We need a goal before half time

Jimmyboss

Are these guys actually professional footballers.......you cannot blame the manager for this lack of technique.....

ctrl-alt-delete

Lawrence with a dislocated finger.......
And Ireland with a dislocated team.

KungPao

May as well stick on Gibson and/or Fahey at half time. The way it is now, we havent a hope of getting back in to it.

Go for broke Trap.

briany

It's the most gutlessly I have seen Ireland play in a long old time and it's not being helped by the fact that Russia actually came to play.

No need to insult the Russians there.

Championship vs Champions League tbh.

Kilbane tucked inside with his winger. Perfectly fine defending unless the centre half is comfortable with that player being passed on.

There must have been no communication between himself and St. Ledger in that regard.

I'd need to see it again I must admit but I'll concede that while it was a well struck goal it only happened due to very poor defensive work in general.

Raskolnikov

We are getting no decisions whatsoever here.

Too easy to single out Green, Whelan has been far worse imo.

Not singling him out as such, just stating a fact.

Kylo Ren

Given ahahahahahhaahaha

I'd put tonights euromillions on there only being a few changes of shirts at HT,

Don't think Trapp changes his boxers tbh

Jimmyboss

No midfield, defence in awful trouble, good job I'm steamed or I'd f**kin burst the tv....

Souless

lol at Given screaming commands at the wall there and the camera picking it all up :rolleyes:

tolosenc

If we can get 1 back before half time, we could nick a draw. A win is off the cards...

I would have thought that would go the other way around...

Doyler is some player for winning balls hit up to him despite the fact he's only 5'11" afaik.

We do have a goal in us but the problem is the Russians have another 2 or so.

Bob_Harris

Andy Reid can do with Green does, but also a lot more.

ctrl-alt-delete

Green losing it again,
He has not been the worst on the pitch, but as much as it won't happen I'd love Fahey on for him.

jambofc

was the only man in the pub last night saying russia's pace would destroy us unless we went with 5 in the midfield and stiffle them,unfortunately been proven right,only way to get anything out of this is to sit deep and hit them on the break with pace........oh yea we have no pace
disappointed with trap to be honest

dfx-

In the last two Russian attacks there's been no-one wider right than left edge of the centre-circle in midfield, Arshavin and Zhirkov had lots of Irish grass unaccompanied..

Doesnt matter who you play, if you plan on going out there and sitting off a side like Russia, you'll get punished.

Did you have a time delay of about 2 years on that post?

Dunne is having a mare

Johner

Russia are a class above us. They look like scoring with every attack.

Xavi6

Well that was a crap half.

I'm going for no changes at half time.

Nah he doesn't suit Traps style of play so would be wasted.
