Look at Zinedine rampage up the left flank :D
Look at Zinedine rampage up the left flank :D
Ref is atrotious so far, everytime an italian player goes over he is giving a free, its a contact sport FFS
McGeady is on fire. Good to see.
I love Given's reaction after Pirlo's free kick, "like wtf, you think you can beat me from there??"
Lot of positives in that first half, McGeady is going to have a big impact in this game, he has the beating of Zambrotta. St Leger looks very nervous. Doyle hasnt done had a look in yet but is getting through a lot of work. Best or Folan might give the Italian defence a little bit more to think about. It wouldnt suprise me now tough if the 2nd 445 were played a friendly intensity.
McGeady has been excellent. He is Keeping their right full "at home" allowing Kilbane to have one of his best games in quite awhile. yes his final cross is not always the best but his trickery is a joy to behold. I can see Leon Best coming on and scoring the winner here. Or creating a clear chance for Robbie.
followed a link to RTE 2 for the match from Football streaming info http://www.footballstreaming.info/streams/todays-links/ The Realplayer links won't open and the windows media player is showing Winning Streak!!
Phew!
Jesus my heart just nearly stopped
close one.
Smashing ball there from O'Shea very composed.
O'Shea has really grown on me. I remember thinking he sucked 5 years ago. He def does not.
Yeah mid you are right.
So i missed the first half due to work....I gather it was fast paced?
The first 20 mins was the best Ireland have played under Trap, very good display. Looked nervous after italy equalised.
Thanks.
Come on lads, they aint doing the job in the middle, theres no game plan in there it seems.
McGeady is going to be the key tonight, the Italians dont know how to handle him.
I have to say they look lively
they arent taking possesion we are giving it away.......
This game is there for the taking, needs a change though its starting to become predictable
just as I finish typing..........
Doyle dissapointing today?
Worked hard as usual but didnt get a look in.
I would have taken Andrews off...
i think whelan was hurt
at this point are we happy with a draw?
mcgeady coming off cent
Yeah never really saw enough of the ball unfortunetly, I think both managers will take the draw now. Italy through and us to the play-offs.
