Don't want to create a negative vibe or anything, but I've just recalled a commentary I listened to way back in the early 1960s. Ireland was playing Spain in Seville and the legendary Philip Green (who died just over a year ago) was doing the commentary in his inimitable style.:)

The phrase that he spoke and has stuck in my mind ever since was this: "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, goal number six for Spain. And this city of oranges is certainly proving a bitter lemon for Ireland tonight.":eek:

Let's hope for better in the next couple of hours.:D

Did no think you were that old

Nearly as old as daisydoodles:pac:

Every time an irish player gets the ball he's hitting the panic button.

Disagree. Think they're playing pretty well.

Iniesta is an absolute god at football.

True, but I like the way they fight and continue to fight.

When's Cascarino coming on?

hondasam

ffs we are holding on for dear life here.

Varied

We aren't playing well at all, our midfielders are allergic to the ball. Duff seems to be the only one making any effort.

hondasam

Where is roy keane when we need him.

awec

See to be honest, with the way the game has gone 1-0 isn't bad at all. Still within touching distance.

this is a holy show. It's like nobody told the Irish side that the match has started!

Even though we don't have the best team in the tournament, imo; we have the best fans

You'd swear we were 4-0 up going by the noise of them.

IrishAm

Bring on Walters for Cox. McClean for McGeady.

The only time I want to see McGeady in an Ireland jersey again, is if I go on a trip to Glasgow.

Ireland have absolutely no say in this game. Unfortunately they are on the receiving end of a good performance by the best team in the world.

I knew when I mentioned him it would cause someone to have a **** fit over his walking out on the team, sorry sent home

daithimacgroin

A Roy type figure is needed in midfield, an enforcer

but we don't have any

cause trap is:

an average continental style manager(or 'coach' as they say on the continent)

much f'ing good it has done us

bring back mick or brian
they did an alright job

dr.bollocko

The entire defence appears to have some massive grudge against the midfield.
Perhaps a polyamorous relationship gone wrong is the cause of this deep seated mistrust.
I'm no psychologist but I could get that sorted out in 15 minutes if they give me a call.

If it doesn't go from defence right booted up for a head down then it goes straight to Spain.

thats rubbish, our midfielders are absolutely terrified of getting the ball. Next time our backs have the ball look at what our midfielders are doing! They will have their backs to play. Most teams midfielders kill themselves to make space for a pass, not ours unfortunately. We need a no nonsense manager who will beat the **** out of them for doing that.........like roy keane........even though he is a traitor.

Why don't you be the one to make the call dr. B

I reckon these lads might have a future in rugby, they're pretty nifty at passing the ball just behind the lad making the run

Don't think you can really blame him for either of today's goals to be fair.

He should have caught it the first time, not knocked it away.

Anyone interested in turning the rest of the match into a drinking game?
