Need a good game out of Whelan
Needs to break up that play

Need a big game out the players who can pass the ball. When we get it, we must pose a threat.

Ward? *slowly crumples in deflation*

Jim Beglin looks different than I thought he would when listening to his voice

I replied to your reply to my reply to another poster. I just wasnt arsed skipping back page so as that I didnt defame you by assuming you were the original poster and misquoting you with the word huge!!!! Otherwise your opinion was akin to the other poster anyway.
We are avatars on an internet discussion site! I havent a clue who I am talking to!! I could be Stephen Ward for all you know!

He used to look a lot more like his voice, I think.

Conversly George Hook and Dunphy look exactly how you would imagine they would by merely listening to them! Pat Kenny to!

Sorry, the first poster did, I just assumed I was conversing with same poster! Thats who I was correcting. Then you replied so I didnt look back to previous page to see if it was the same poster!! Pretty standard!

I said it ,yes and I stand by it.
Ward is a poor defender ,poor on the ball and panics a bit under pressure.

One positive is that he is coming in on the back of consistent football with Burnley so he wont be as rusty as in the last Euros.

With himself and Clark on the left expect Belgium to direct most of their attacks down that wing .

Kermit.de.frog

I have to be honest I fear a bit for us today that we may have a "Euro 2012" experience. Hope i'm wrong. Great to see Hoolahan, Brady and Hendrick get another chance to shine on the big stage. Fingers crossed they make the difference.

nope. It was withdrawn.........

Buyer beware in the 2.00!

Another Glenn Whelan masterclass is in order if we're to keep De Bruyne quiet.

briany

2-1 Belgium, I would say. Defensive mistakes to rue.

Dick phelan

3-0 Belgium i hate to say it but they are a mile ahead of us in terms of ability and we haven't the ability to hold the ball.

AMKC

Come on Ireland! A pit of positivity in here would be nice to see and could go a long way. I think Ireland can do tis they beat Germany the World Champions and the them seems good so if we play like we did against Germany then then they can win just need to get two goals in the Belgium net early on

Was wondering why I got MB :pac:

J Mysterio

I'm absolutely ****ting it

Agent Coulson

Looks like we have taken over three quarters of the stadium.

PeterTheEighth

John Delaney there, looking like one of the guys that got whacked in Goodfellas.

martyos121

I can understand Randolph, Clark and McCarthy not singing the anthem, but what excuse has Whelan? He's from Dublin, not the UK.

ProudDUB

'MON TA FCUK !!!!

PeterTheEighth

No arm around De Bruyne? The image of that looked a bit odd didnt it.

Duff

Delaney looks like he spent last night in a skip.

I'd say they will mark the sh te out of Hoolahan.

If they do there has to be another magician with a football free....like eh.....Ward.

Agent Coulson

The kids are nearly as big as Hazard I didn't realize he was that small.

Scorpion Sting

I don't like this new tendency for national teams to choose their best player as captain instead of their best leader. Alderweireld should be Belgium captain, Hazard possesses no real leadership qualities.

Mr.Nice Guy

Hazard's probably dying to get Roy Keane back for those comments he made about him on ITV.

Would be great if we can avoid conceding early. They will get more and more frustrated. I'm worried, though.

COYBIG.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Big divisions in the Belgian camp obvious at the anthem, Carrasco is only barely touching Vermaelen and Alderwereild hasn't bothered putting his hand De Bruyne.

They're crumbling at the seams.We're going to stuff them.

AMKC

Won the Toss thats good.

sligeach

Good, we won the coin toss.

Not that it matters but Randolph was born and raised in Wicklow.

What you reckon, deserving of another few bars of "Olé, Olé, Olé" ?

The Talking Bread

As much as I love that new away jersey, I want to see Ireland in a green jersey when we look back in a decade at the time Ireland stuffed the Belgians with Ward and McCarthy both getting a double!

The Backwards Man

Jim Beglin or Andy Townsend?

I think I'll watch this one on Turkmenistan TV.

sligeach

I'm worried. I'd gladly take a draw right now.

And we've never really done well against them in the past.

Debil

Hopefully, the Turkish ref doesn't wasn't to be the star today.

donegal.

here we go

derm0j073

Come on Ireland, kick this one in the ball sack.

AMKC

Where is the Ref from? I missed that

Awe sure why not.

Hope this Turk Ref is fair.

Is there an issue with our throw ins? Nobody ever seems to come looking for it. Was exactly the same on Monday.

Ward showing some craft there. Smart ball

Pace on that ****er gives us a chance

nehe milner skudder

Mr.Nice Guy

They're looking good so far, Belgium.

Osmosis Jones

Too much panicking on the ball, hoofing it clear when under no pressure.
