I'm watching this while waiting for Montenegro v Wales to start. Armenia look OKto be fair. Should be a competitive game.

Paul Green looks awful so far.
We have a good play then dont have another one for like 15 minutes. ANNOYING.

We got 1 decent flick on from Doyle. Are we going to revert to the long ball from now on then because of that? No passing, no?

Green's had a mixed opening. Made some poor mistakes but also made a couple of very good challenges.

Armenians are very physical, could be a free kick that opens the scoring

Get McGeady on it and let 'em hack away at him.

very hot, much hotter than yesterday, was 37 earlier, now around 30. bit of a breeze though which might help

That should have been a penalty on Keane a minute ago.

By the way who is this Green fella, I've never heard of him.

pretty 50/50 first half i thought, although i missed about ten minutes of it...

Crosby87

I can see us losing 1-0. Hope they pick it up a bit...
this is a scrap and claw game, bricks and mortar....
McGeady looks lively when involved which is not much.

tetsujin1979
03/09/2010, 4:48 PM
they're very organised, limiting space for movement, and to make a shot.
very physical too, kicking lumps out of Doyle, and doubling up on McGeady when he's in possession. Can see us making something from a set piece

By the way who is this Green fella, I've never heard of him.

Plays (captain I think) for Derby County in Championship, I think he spent most of his time at doncaster rovers, he about 27 years old.

Green's been poor - has plenty of energy and bite but he's misplaced 3/4 five yard passes. I'm putting it down to debut nerves. Lawrence was one of our best players in the first 15 and looks knackered now. Kilbane looks beat for pace by their right winger. I'm very nervous. Though they look fairly porous at the back and Keane is seeing a lot of the ball, would like to see him and Doyle link a little better.

Keane was certainly taken down in the box but I think the ref would argue he wouldn't have gotten to that ball anyway (not that it really matters, a foul is a foul)

Aside from Whelan I think the midfield have been pretty bad

Armenians are closing us down very quickly when we're on the ball. Not giving our midfielders any time or space. Their defenders have a tendency to boot the ball away, so we're getting a lot of territory. There's definitely a goal in this for us, we could be two up. Thought Whelan should have at least got that shot on target.

Root canals, watching Ireland and other nerve-jangling experiences. Christ.


doyle as usual holding the ball up impeccably.

Worth his weight in gold that lad.

Must say that O'Shea looks by far the most composed irish player. Green and Kilbane are not very impressive. Doyle and Keane working well imo. Was the offside goal really offside? My stream couldnt see it in the reply. Cmon the lads anyway, im shouting from Egypt!

We look the better side. I can see us getting a 1-0 0r a 2-0

their technique looks light years ahead of ours! especially in the middle of the pitch.

03/09/2010, 4:53 PM
i agree, but they are pretty dangerous when the break.
