terrible, terrible defending. Nice peno though
whats this about them banning the shuffle for the world cup - hadnt heard that.
Joe feckin Murphy for 5 minutes. :rolleyes:
First we play Paraguay for the first time since 1999 and then Joe Murphy, who last played against Turkey comes on, makes me miss DC even more as he scored in both those games...he can't be any worse than Sheridan :(
Good win :cool: Just a kick to the sack that we thoroughly dominated two WC teams, even if they were just friendlies.
Man I wish Trapp was younger. The team are progressing so well under him
Good win, 3-0 can't complain about that.
You'd be fair ****ed off if you were Anthony Stokes right now, knowing that Cillian Sheridan's 6 goals last season are being preferred to Stokes' 22 goals. Wasn't even given a minute.
Vintage performance, as in pumping it long was creating the most mayhem.
I hope O'Shea's injury is not serious.
All the back 4 did well.
Green was excellent for the most part, good instincts re alertness, anticipation, control and distribution.
Nice to see Aldridge showing his cultural knowledge by suggesting that the Algerian fans will be having porter tonight...
I don't know it seems he just played it backwards all the time, but I did watch it on a hazy stream.Quote:

Very disappointed for Stokes. I think Sheridan's value as a target man gives him the edge in Trap's eyes.Quote:

That Manuela has lovely eyes.
Thanks for that link. Quality stream.Quote:

Just back, was impressed with the display tonight.
Sledge and Westwood were excellent. By and large WW's command of the aerial threat was superb. Nice to keep a clean sheet, despite an inexperienced back four. Kelly is looking more and more reliable at right back. Green and Cunningham did well on their debuts.
Was good to see O'Dea play a significant amount of time, didnt see what happened JOSH but trust its not too serious. DOD did well, a couple of hairy moments but looked more composed than McShane did on Tuesday for example.
Duff as ever did well, great ball in for the second goal. Lawrence was quieter tonight but did ok.
Keane looked particularly sharp, couldve had another 2 goals.
Disappointed Stokes didnt get a run out, certainly didnt see the value of keeping keane on for the last 20 mins. Sheridan did little of note.
Overall, optimistic for the future (although we've had that feeling in the past after good friendly results), really are progressing well under Traps guidance and we move on in good stead with our ultimate aim should be top spot in our group. Considering the two teams we beat this week will be in SA, it is slightly tinged with saddness tonight that we are not.
EDIT: Fcuking embarrassing clowns running on in the first half. Was in the north stand, didnt see where the Irish lad came on from but it did appear to be the north stand. what a langer!
Watched it on Sky. Their commentary was cringeworthy as it harked ad nauseum to how England would fare againt Algeria. They asked Trap about it, they asked Liam Lawrence about it, they asked Robbie about it and I was delighted to hear Robbie, who few would claim to be mensa material, fairly eloquently tell them he couldn't give a flying one how England get on against Algeria.
Delighted we kept a clean shean sheet.
James is eager to impress with a strong run!Quote:

I'd say one of them had a bit of crack anyway..
Just ran on for a laugh. Awful stuff from the security. What the hell is the point in police being at the game, not to mention the security/stewards. One steward walks on to the pitch after that knob had time to run the length of the pitch.Quote:

It's a joy watching that guy score for Ireland, the word legend is used flippantly now but he certainly is that. Only person who will have gone down in my estimation was Liam Lawrence who I thought was poor tonight. Apart from that nothing to complain about and I'm sure we'll see the benefits of playing such a stable side for 2 years in our next campaign.
San Marino (as I recall McShane won the penalty for one of the goals), which was the first since Connolly v. LiechtensteinQuote:
