corny

Ah big deal. Get on with it.

What a Spa!

Utopia Parkway

Definite yellow card there. Should be off.

Ffs ref

Turtyturd

Miraculous recovery from Hoolihan.

Agent Coulson

Target there number 4 now.

Rikand

Better free kick from Brady. Only let him take free kicks from the right hand side anymore

GLaDOS

Bosnian's losing discipline anyway, need to keep at them

LuckyGent88

We need calm heads here. Let the Bosnians make the rash decision

Strumms

Well well, a bit of luck in a play off for us . Great peno. Bosnians loosing the head altogether which is great for us.

Laois_Man

Might not turn out to be a good thing. It often happens that the ref sees in the half time analysis that he fooked up and goes out to even it up in the second half.

Mr.Nice Guy

Spahic must be their McClean. :pac:

DDC1990

Maybe the Ref thought it hit his other hand which was out.

Horrible call, but we'll take it. Deserved lead on the balance of play.

Bosnia to be the 25th team?

JustTheOne

Hands in the air, ball hits his hand.

Penalty.

Mushy

He has to be off, 4 cards he should be on.

Keep getting into their faces and they'll be down to 9 or 10 soon.

Dunphy ht about Bosnia - "they're a rabble Darragh!"

briany

Good atmos altogether so far. Long may it continue.

Johnny Walters penalty. Never in doubt. Automatic from the spot.

Dempsey

Must say it was a great penalty in a pressure game against a former teammate. Excellent stuff Jon Walters!

rottie 11

Can see someone being sent off here

Probably helped that he knew the keeper inside out though.

Hazys

Spahic was very lucky the ref blew the whistle before he made that foul, cos he would have been off.

Didn't he miss two penalties in one game for Stoke and then scored an OG?

Penalty.

Not when he is only a yard away when the ball is played, what is he supposed to do

briany

Starting just to stand off the Bosnians a touch. Don't need that.

tayto lover

Sitting back too much now.

Dempsey

Yep but he's a better player now and whats his record since that match?

Get a hold of it....need to relax
Long balls are not helping

Against Chelsea at home, it was. He has been outstanding for us though in this campaign. Player of our campaign, easily.

Lucky there. Nobody picking him up.

Utopia Parkway

Anybody want to challenge Dzeko there? Had all day to place a header back.

LuckyGent88

Midfielders didn't track that run at all. Starting to invite a bit of pressure on now.

briany

F*ckin' less of that, lads.

Mr.Nice Guy

They're coming into it now. Can't afford to let them have too many chances as I don't think Randolph is capable of a match-winning save.

cowboyBuilder

just get to half time at 1-0 lads!!

Other way around. 2 OGs and a missed pen

The officials cannot review the footage of the 1st half at half time. He will go to the final whistle with the impression it was the right call. I think it was the wrong call but this guy is still a CL final and World Cup finals referee. If anything the behaviour of the Bosnians towards him in particular might influence him to card them now quicker.

super_furry

Think that's enough, blow it up ref.

Dempsey

The goal shouldnt change the tactics for the irish lads, they need to get the ball back and make the bosnians sweat

corny

Pjanic back to the position he was occupying on Friday.

Is that a rule - they are not allowed watch telly in the dressing room?
I'll take your word for it if you're saying it is.

JustTheOne

Lads it was a handball why are we debating it?

Dempsey

I thought most referees look at footage at half time as a choice

Hazys

We need some possession

Was it an intentional handball?

Wasn't deliberate IMO. Ball to hand more so that hand to ball.
