I will be happy with a jack charlton 1:0 win.

So would I. Purely because even a Charlton type performance would be more entertaining than Kerrs rubbish.

Eh no it wouldn't.

Charltons teams played rubbish football all the time with some quality players at his disposal.

Kerrs teams try to play football most of the time.

:rolleyes:

You might call it football, I call it procrastination.

what the feck is Bill wearing, could no one tell him what he's wearing will cause eyes to bleed

Trouble brewing already between Houghton and Dunphy. Hopefully there's a punch-up before the end of the show - that might inspire the Irish team to get stuck in anyway. Poor Chippy is stuck in the middle of the two of them, although he's managed a bit of finger-wagging at Bill himself. I wonder did RTE slip something into their water to spice things up?

My God, what was that music they played for Bertie? Haha - its awful! They're playing the Rocky theme now, with xylophones!

galwaydude

some interesting selections like harte at left back and holland in midfield.
Hope we can do it. Will get to watch the second half so hopefully it will be in our favour by then.

zAbbo

peno claim turned down, robbie went down easy, 50/50 imo

mr_angry

That looked a dead-cert penalty!

zAbbo

if robbie didn't flap his arms so easily, ian harte for a free here edge of box

harte and reid both gave the ball away easily already

Makaveli

mr_angry

Beauty from Keane! Great ball by Reid.

Brian017

Great Goal. 2-0.

d22ontour

Playing some good stuff.Great free kick from harte.

mr_angry

More even match now. Kavanagh for Keane is a very negative substitution though.


Oooh. Disallowed goal from Keane.

scojones

Match is quieting down a bit now. I hope we don't sit back too much. We never score many goals, so I'd like to see more today. We may not win this group so it'd be nice to have a good goal advantage. I have to say though, I'm very pleased. I was expecting 1 - 1.

COME ON IRELAND!!!

scojones

I spoke too soon..

Makaveli

2-1 booourns

zAbbo

typical slackness gives free away, header from free kick 2-1

Matty English gives free away, his only contrbution so far

mr_angry

I wouldn't mind, but it looked like a good tackle. Great goal though - plenty of pace on the free-kick, and the wind certainly helped that one past Shay Given.

Makaveli

penalty fs

scojones

uh what was o shea up to?

zAbbo

3rd time for the peno !

Makaveli

2-2 bottlers.

JOS is a stupid awkard bastard.

Brian017

Disasterous. Typical Ireland though.

We are deffo on the backup,

JackKelly

i cant believe we just threw away a 2-0 lead.wtf.Exactly like the first match.My God

bizmark

Wtf!

All stems from Kerr bringing on a midfielder for a striker and giving Israel the incentive. No complaints about the penalty really - he had both his arms wrapped around him.

Creamy Goodness

totally abismal since keane went off.

if it stays the same in second half, Israel to win.

illumin

all i can say is:

MY JAYSUS! :mad:

Yep, poor tactics. 2-0 is not a safe score as we have just seen unfortunatley and replacing a forward with a midfielder just showed everyone that Kerr was content to sit on the lead.
Now what can we do? I wouldn't be surprised if we fail to score in the second half.

bizmark

I though it would end up 4-0 now we will be doing well to win :rolleyes:

zAbbo

Rte lads taken by surprise by the early restart.

Bill: look...look....he's started early

Makaveli

How did he miss that?
Duff open goal and he heads it across the front of the goal.

mr_angry

How the hell did that stay out? :eek:

bizmark

jesus lads we have no luck where going to lose 4-2

cregser

Well I'm shocked by the lackluster performance of the Irish crowd! The start the Irish team had was enough to keep any football fan singing for hours. Before the peno I think it was Kavanagh being charged from behind and no shout came from the crowd. But they were happy to boo at the half-time whistle. They should kick out the yuppie benefactors of FAI backslapping policies and bring in real fans. That's my opinion from noticing that it always seems to be the same people going to Landsown (rugby and football) - they're too comfortable.

Oh yeah, O'Shea is playing a shocker - at fault for both goals. Kilbane and Holland have been too quiet. Other than that, our tactics are letting us down.

bizmark

Jesus gary doherty is warming up here comes the world class match winners

mr_angry

The diving by the Israelis is rediculous. Good pressure from Ireland, but no breakthrough as yet.

mr_angry

Aaaaahhh! Two easy misses from Doherty.

zokrez

Wow did I hear "come on you boys in green?".
