Republic of Ireland vs España

MagicMarker

Just put McClean on to cheer us all up.

Mars Bar

McGeady, why do you have to take so much out of it?!

Washington Irving

Christ sake, Ireland making it so easy for Spain to close them down

Guy:Incognito

2 players markign McGeady on the wing and an Irish player 10 yards behind him. Obvious ball is to your own man but nah, McGeady reckons he'll just try his luck on his own :rolleyes:

Haven't heard a possession stat yet. I'm guessing it could be close to the big 80

Ireland will be dead on their feet after 60 mins if they keep on having to chase the ball like this.

This could end 3 or 4-0

Don't worry, they might get tired too. They only have llorente on the bench:rolleyes:

antodeco

McGeady is woeful. McClean should be on.

Marking useless again

Not sure his wife would approve.

Hamilton when Trapp is on screen : "what can he do?"


I reckon faking a heart attack is probably his best option at this stage.

Mr.Crinklewood

Spanish friend just texted me:- "Your fans came in late again, by the sounds of things they do not know you're losing:-)".

antodeco

Do they actually know which direction they're meant to be playing towards?

Scorpion Sting

The whole Irish team is having a shocker tbh.

Was gutted earlier. Was hoping I could find odds for 70+ % possession for the Spanish but alas it wasn't to be. Must be at least 70% atm.

Only 73 for us? Wow I was way off with 80.

At least its still only 1-0 thats a positive

If this was wrestling roy kean would make a triumphant return unexpectantly before turning heel and power bombing mcgeady *day dreams*

I thought Simon Cox was the surprise inclusion? Did nobody tell him he is replacing Doyle? Haven't spotted him yet.

This is shockingly bad. Spain are literally running rings around us. I don't think it's left our half more than twice in the last 5 mins

Shockingly??? This was always exactly how it was going to be! Everyone knew that!! We just have to cling on to dear life for as long as possible and hope to do something mental!

Mr.Crinklewood

Brilliant!!!

I want to have faith but they looked like clowns in the box there, falling over themselves and each other. They look like they're in a panic now. They need to get themselves under control, calm down and try to maintain some composure.

kincsem

We have them worried.

Yeah but we've already let in 4 goals at start-end of halves, and there's another 3 to go tonight!

No truer word, if we went til 70 min mark like this, I think every Irish player would take it.
Spain get tired, you never know;)

antodeco

Stop passing it ****ing backwards!!!

supersean1999

rebel girl 15

Great tackle by Andrews in the centre circle

A 1-0 to Spain would be a pretty respectable result for Ireland the way things are going.

He's the only player in a green jersey that shot on goal so far

63....37 possession

Kristopherus

3 offside by Keane, the clown:(

kryogen

Is there any way we could drag them down to our level and beat them using experience?

supersean1999

Mr.Crinklewood

Has Zubizarreta touched the ball with his hands yet ?

Less than 100 passes for Ireland so far, I wonder if that includes passes to Spain?

BorneTobyWilde

ref needs to book himself

Nuri Sahin

Lol the ref.

kitakyushu

Yellow card for the ref!

Min

This looks like a game of running after the Spaniards.

rebel girl 15

Ffs ref - found the yellow, but should be booking himself!

antodeco

Didn't the ref just push him over??

LostBoy101
