England lose to Croatia

[tricky_colour]

:ball:

[kingdomkerry]

If they loose are they out if Russia win?

Who are Russia playing (home or away)?

[kingdomkerry]

2-0 to Croatia.

The Engerlund fans were singing Northern Irelands anthem too!

Andorra at home, so if they don't win Roman will have them all killed

[tricky_colour]

2:0 Now.

Don't think they can recover from that, even with their luck.

Russia are away to Andorra, England are as good as out.

Looks like the home internationals will be back on.

[kingdomkerry]

2:0 Now.

Don't think they can recover from that, even with their luck.

Russia play Andorra, England are as good as out.
:D:D:D

[eekers]

they can get two goals back

i hope they do for our sakes

i dont want venables turning up anywhere near the irish job

[tricky_colour]

Having said all that I would like an interest at the championships, even if it were only to see England get beat.

[lofty9]

:D

Fingers crossed.

They'll be looking for the match to be abandoned as the pitch is unplayable.

It's bad that they are depending on Andorra.

:D


:D

[tricky_colour]

Mind you Russia have not scored yet, I would be amazed it that did not happen.
It's England only hope I think.
Andorra conceed 4 a game on average.

I'll say this now, England will draw 2-2 and Beckham will score the equaliser, you heard it here

[tricky_colour]

Still 0-0 in the Russian game, it would just be Englands luck that Andorra hold them to a draw!!

[Colbert Report]

I'm starting to get nervous looking at the Andorra/Russia match scoreline....

[eekers]

mc laren isnt brave enough to take off lampard and put on a striker. terrible manager.

beckham on for swp too if he half fit
you cant dribble on that surface.
perfect for a dangerous beckham crosses

[jebus]

1-0 Russia!! :eek::D:D

[tricky_colour]

Russia just scored.

[sligoman]

Carson howler (http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=1547759):D.

[Rebel11]

This is great stuff listening to the crap they are saying on BBC :-)

[eirebhoy]

Moving this from the Ireland forum. I don't know what it's doing in here.

[tricky_colour]

I though it would be more fun in here!!

[Dodge]

yeah you do...


Anyone happen to listen to Newstalk earlier. The ever excellent Graham Hunter slammed Ken Early for claimimg Paul RObinson's career was over and that Carson would start in the European Championships. It was a brilliant beat down

We all know who knows football...

[eekers]

ha ha gerrard and lampard back together again as the unfunctioning midfield partnership. mc laren is a joke. and defoe instead of bent? defoe hasnt scored a league goal this season. and is hardly someone to rely on in an occasion like this.

[tricky_colour]

Will superstar Beckham save the day for England?

[jebus]

what a joke that penalty was. Motson refusing to say Defoe dived too :mad:

[tricky_colour]

He dived but the defender as daft to tug his shirt in the first place.

[tricky_colour]

Croatia had been sitting back I think, which is always a mistake, but I think now they have stopped doing that
and almost got a goal back right away.

[jebus]

oh well

Christ almighty has this ref taking a bribe or what? genuinely shocking towards Croatia

[eekers]

good stuff, no venables now, phew!

[tricky_colour]

Well it was fun whilst it lasted.
McLaren must have been in the Croatian dressing room handing out the brown envelopes :D:rolleyes:

[tricky_colour]

Ho Ho Ho!! :D

[jebus]

Yes!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Theskinloyal]

england are a different team this half. lots of heart. not that i really care.

mclaren is as bad as stan

[Metrostars]

Oh happy days again!

[eekers]

happy days my arse
the last thing we need is england sniffing round for a manager at the same time as us.
and messiah of the irish indo - terry venables - bringing our players on booze ups

Finland drew with Portugal so that means Hodgson will be our next manager.

[sligoman]

The pitch at Wembley is a disgrace tonight.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Motson: "Just say something, Mark, something!
Lawro: "I can't".


:D

McClaren is even more inept of a manager than Stan. Excellent coach but poor manager. I never understand why people raved about his time at 'Boro when he did poor with the players at his disposal. I wouldn't be surprised if Hodgson was the next England manager but with the way their media is a lot of managers would be skeptical of taking the job.

[tricky_colour]

Russia match not over yet. Only 1:0 there.

[beautifulrock]

Sol turned his body away from the last shot on goal, insead of throwing himself at it. Dont know what this has to do with our manager search either

[tricky_colour]

McLaren for Ireland?

[DmanDmythDledge]

Because a more attractive international job will more than likely be available.

[Giuly]

Enjoyed that :)

[Red&White Rover]

Thank Christ, none of this "we just have to show up to win" boll*cks, from the English media and fans this summer!


Halleluiah!

[shakermaker1982]

There is a God after all.

Croatia were brilliant on the counter tonight, Modric looked a million dollars. Not even an England player diving again can get them the result they need. I have to admit I felt a tad sorry for Carson but when your thrown in at the deep end what do you expect?

[keenanboy]

I think we're all a bit guilty of Schadenfreude here, pleasure in the misery of others. Much as it kills me to say this but I'll miss England not being in the finals next summer. Love them or hate them they're compulsive viewing if only for the stomach churning jingoism spurting from Motson and the fact that we all watch to see their inevitable failure.

Oh well

P.S. The pitch was absolutely atrocious tonight. They built a 90,000 all-seater stadium and plonked a bog in the middle of it.

[DmanDmythDledge]

Croatia were brilliant on the counter tonight, Modric looked a million dollars.
Only had brief glimses of him before tonight but was still surprised that he was still at Dinamo. His contract last until 2015 so it will take a lot to get Dinamo to sell.

[Noelys Guitar]

I was listerning to David Platt and with 5 mins to go he started going on about McClaren having 7 months to get things right! Err Dathi your 3-2 down. Mental stuff. Anyway Do I Quite Like That.

[razor]

As much as Motty irritated me, I'm a tad disappointed they lost but in the end they got what they deserved.
The BBC panel were surprisingly frank, it kinda threw me a bit, a refreshing change.
I bet Colleen is delighted Wayne will be free for the wedding next summer :D

[rambler14]

They were absolutely crap. Never looked like winning. Delighted for Slaven Bilic, never thought he'd make it as manager but what a team he has, one of the best teams i've ever seen on the break.
England's players didn't step up, its like they wanted McClown gone.
Carson big mistake
Bridge useless
Barry will lose his place to Hargreaves
Gerrard..captains performance me hole
Lampard had one touch
Wright-Phillips should have scored
Joe Cole is crap anyway
As for Defoe and Bent they wouldn't make the Irish bench never mind the England bench.
Actually fair fecks to Beckham he came on and played class.

[Green Tribe]

I lost my voice over the weekend was getting it back today, but after watching that game, have near lost it again. Penalty my arse. That referee looked like he was enjoying england's comeback a bit too much!
Basically England had one of the easiest groups to qualify from and overall did not deserve to qualify but i didn't want to tempt fate by saying that before the game :eek:
