Commentator is having fun
This is forde lads. This is what I've been saying for ages.im very worried that we have nothing better for the euros.

hahaha penalty for us. This is a circus
I've been saying it since at least 2005.Quote:

Penalty us!
poor penalty, too close to the keeper
The Costa Ricans are really fired up for this not like the Italians and are completely dominating us with 10 men ...Robbie has missed a few of late....
Was just thinking when was the last time he missed a peno.
Stupid corner for them to give away.
Regardless of the penalty though, the concerns of the first 20 minutes still stand.
Didn't deserve a peno, but why wouldn't we miss it.
That was as bad a penalty i've seen since he missed against slovakia
And Whelan and Green who stared at Campbell for two hours before he played a very good through ball.Quote:

This has been very bad, but so be it. The contrast between this and Italy is clear and the lessons are there. That's friendlies. Hopefully O'Neill will bin this Trap-esque set-up and these two centre mids in particular.
Edit: Urgh, this game is turning into 'wan of those wans'.
Nice to see our centre halves splitting and the midfielders dropping back. Shows we're at least attempting to play sensible modern football.
well everyone on here had a go at me because I told them he is just a game away from making big mistakes.....and I was proved right but everyone was saying how great he was.Quote:

Campbell giving McClean the run around, this performance might end the "McClean as a full back" discussion before it really started
Long on for Doyle can only be positive. Wes for Robbie would be nice now.
Long for Doyle.
Won't make a difference if we can't get the ball up to him though.
The difference between this us our midfield which was the only positive we could really take as the Italians never got out of second gear after the injury. These lads are well up for it and giving us no time.
It's exactly the game that hendrick and meyler need
Did meyler come on after their goal?
That just ain't true PO'S. Have a glass of vino and leave the 'I told you so's' at the door.Quote:

They could either have played this game or Portugal. Would you prefer them to have played tonight and missed that?Quote:

Is it not 6 subs? Belgium had their result voided last week because they brought on the 7th subQuote:

it's three in competition football only, up to six in a friendly: http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/footba...d=1290827.htmlQuote:

The rules of the competition must state how many substitutes may be nominated, from three up to a maximum of seven.
Other matches
In national "A" team matches, up to a maximum of six substitutes may be used.
I'd have preferred portugal
I hope your assumption is correct.
Aye, it used to be 'unlimited'?
yeah, until Ericsson substituted the whole england team over the course of a game, including one player coming on and then later being substitutedQuote:

Until Sven came along with EnglandQuote:
