Ireland V Poland

ollie1

The pitch is in bits

Ganymede Glow

Could and probably should have been red

Hank Scorpio

O'Shea thinks hes playing Gaelic football

DEVEREUX

WTF was that O'Shea????:pac:

Agueroooo

Tell me im seeing things :0

Nerdlingr

O'Shea you pillock!

homerjay2005

O Shea should be off, thats as professional a hand ball as it gets.

Not bad, but think Forde should be hoofing it long less often. Westwood used the full back to start attacks on Friday. Forde has proved to be quality, but kicks it long far too much.

you cant blame the keeper for that, at all. if the players are available to take it short, i am sure he would pass it to them.

He should have caught it and cleared it up the field

BobbyPropane

That's his mistake done for the game thnakfully

That looked like something you'd do out in the back garden to piss off your mates that you're playing against!

What did O'Shea do? I missed it as I kinda nodded off? The sound of the laptop falling to the floor awoke me.

For those who may still be asleep, the score in this game is still 0-0

The 110 mins I've seen so far under O'Neill, have underlined what I've been saying about Trap for the past two years. These players are not nearly as bad as they've seemed. And this is our B team.

Strange one that from John O'Shea. I think if this was a competitive game he would have got red there.

Lewandowski tried to flick it over his head, he just caught it and put it on the ground

DEVEREUX

sloppy possesion = lost possesion

Nerdlingr

F*c sake thats a great header from McCarthy.

Green has been Poland's best player so far.

Nerdlingr

not a bad first half from us, at least we're looking to play a bit of ball.

BNMC

Paul Green doing his reputation no harm at all.

dr ro

Looks like we're playing put 'em undah pressah again.

The commentator must be a close personal friend of Stephen Ward. To suggest that he put himself back in contention for a starting spot with his performance last Friday is one of thie strangest thing I've ever heard!

Happy with that half. We look the better of the two teams. Couple of dodgy moments in defence but not bad. Passing the ball pretty well. Have created a few decent chances including one that would have been a goal if Stephen Kelly could head the ball. Encouraging stuff.

I'm actually beginnning to take to Green. He doesn't have a praising role so everyone assumes he's completely useless. I'm not saying he's great but he is much better than what people give credit for. There are few Irish players on the pitch that can pass the ball and tackle/intercept as well as green can.


Also, Stephen Ward started the last night and he didn't get half the abuse Green is getting tonight! What's up with the that? Even green is on another level to Ward. :pac:

He actually looks like a footballer tonight unlike under Trapp where the mantra was kick the ball anywhere up forward.

Nice to see a continuation of the passing game tonight and actually breaking with numbers instead of lumping the ball up front & hoping Long or Walters can manage to hold it up.Players actually demanding the ball is nice to see along with movement which is creating space for us to play in.

Years from now, his name will be sang across the land with adulation and gusto.

Everyone: WE ALL DREAM OF A TEAM OF PAUL GREENS, A TEAM OF PAUL GREENS*

*Repeat ad nauseum

NUMBER ONE* IS PAUL GREEN

*Repeat replacing 'one' with numbers 2 through to 11.

Whats with Forde hoofing the ball all the time?

it is?????

Forde, Wilson, O Shea, Long, Mccarthy, Mcgeady, Walters would all be in most people peoples first 11's, all we are missing really is Coleman, Gibson, Keane and possibly Dunne.

Is Roy Keane at the game?

We're missing Keane, McClean, Hoolahan, Dunne, O'Shea, Coleman and Westwood from my first choice 11. Plus, any side with Green in it surely has to be classed a B team No Whelan either.

keith16

The commentators won't shut up banging on about Lewandowski.

And I hate the way they pronounce his name.

Hank Scorpio

That should be a red, horrible tackle

homerjay2005

shocking challenge, should have been a red. your man looks like an absolute scumbag.

By any chance do you know who is he playing against in his next two games?
I don't think he mentioned it at all.

BobbyPropane

Stokes is like a 50 year old man running off

Ganymede Glow

Wilson is not up to this level. Offers nothing

DEVEREUX

Kelly hooofing it again

Personally think he is better than Kelly, Ward, Green, Whelan, Stokes, Doyle,

He's offers a hell of a lot more than Stephen Ward, for Christ's sake.

2-1 up

Hank Scorpio

Really struggling now, Poland goal is coming

S28382

I dont see how this is good from Ireland. All i see is ball hoofing and panic at the back.
