The conceded goal was St Ledger's fault 100%. What an appalling missed kick. The ball should have been cleared and should not have gone anywhere near Lampard. We badly need either Dunne to have a renaissance or for Duffy (or some other new blood) to emerge sooner rather than later.

Yeah I've looked at it again on ITV coverage, you're right. I've seen it from the opposite angle.
St Ledger just completely missed it. Poor. Though I still think Whelan allowed Lamoard too much room when it really mattered

As opposed to diarrhectic?

I have the draw 1-1 backed at 9-1.
Could put some cover bets on or let it ride...

Why sweat over a bet of 55c?

Need less of the long ball this half too, it's working sometimes but we need to use McCarthy. He's motm for me so far but they should be passing through him as well

I am with you on that one, thought he was neglectful.

It a whole £1 could be picking up £10.

I looked in to covering it but the odds are not good.

Hoping the settle for 1-1 and a good ****-up afterwards. :)

I think the justification is for McClean to give more support to Kelly and move McGeady over to the right.

get whelan off hes half asleep

coleman having a blinder

coleman again

Coleman and McCarthy proving how good they are. McGeady proving he's not that good at all.

Coleman and McCarthy are on a different level to the rest of the team.
