    Yeah but someone will properly have a go at him over it and then it'll all be about bitter fans. Joke really. Kinda snide comment which drags things down around here.

    Nice bit of class there during the minutes silence.

    Nicely done by Thompson there.

    Rovers get 1 and it could be a rout.

    ITV4 - Everton v Villareal 0-0

    It's half time now and Coleman went off few minutes ago after a nasty tackle from opposition player .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Young Master Coleman on the wrong end of a nasty "tackle", Everton showing some nice bits and pieces of play without exerting that much pressure. Villareal likewise though their shooting leaving something to desire.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Anyone watch the Hull game lads? How'd Robbie Brady play?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Everton outplayed and outclassed by Villareal .0-1

    Just back from the game and wow. I realise this is intentionally a barstool thread ;) But anyone who was at the game knows what football passion was.

    Disgraceful from both sets of fans during the minute of silence. It started off with Bohs fans booing there own fan...rovers fans had a go at them for it...and then the mouths thought it would be ok to keep it up.

    Rovers need to convert chances. If Billy had a right foot he would have had two tonight. Bohs were very poor against a very jaded team. Lines man on the camera side is the next Kelly. Needs all the attention. Turner was sorely missed.

    I see Celtic Legends V Manchester Utd legends is on next Tuesday ITV4

    Impressed with the bohs kids the more i see them, they put it up to you but your players calibre far superior to them.

    Decent tv game.

    Forrester looks very good. They ran for the whole game and earn credit for that. Downes for them was a bright spark too when he came on. O'brien had two great chances (well I think it was him) but failed to convert. Young lads did a lot better than their higher paid/experienced players.

    tomorrow night (wed 16th august) Barca vs Real in the second leg of the spanish cup is free to air on the german channel Sport 1.

    To be fair, they are showing a right amount of live football this past while. FA cup/ carling cup/ charity shield and the odd other game that you only get on sky in Ireland.

    ITV moving their Champions League night to Wednesday is already showing itself to be a right PITA from this side of the Irish sea, as predictably enough both ITV and RTE have picked the Manchester Utd game against Benfica. Also means stuck with TV3s horror show for Arsenal tonight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    TV3 - Shamock Rovers v Rubin Kazan
    ITV4 - Dynamo Kiev v Stoke City then Birmingham v Braga
