Discuss.
andrews, cracker
He's got a foot like a traction engine - seriously!! :laugh:
Ha ha what a strike!! How slow were the defence in charging him down thou
We've actually looked quite composed so far. The usual, other team has all the possession but not causing us much grief.
He seems to have a really hard shot, I noticed from some of the free kicks he has taken recently that he hits
the ball as hard as anyone I have seen, it really is a case of blink and you miss it!
Andrews had been trying that free kick routine in the last few games, delighted it came off for him!
Mschane played him in lovely....
Nearly ****ed one away there
mcshane will never change
Can't believe Mcshane there. Let's hope that's his 1!
Is it me or does andy keogh look decent in friendlies, makes a nuisance of himself
jaysus the passing is woeful

Apart from McShanes one moment of madness, it's been a very good defensive performance from us. Forde has been great too. Midfield are sitting very deep and leaving Long and Keogh fairly on their own though, and if we keep sitting so deep Italy will eventually get a goal.
Great shot from Andrews, unreal!
McShane has defended fairly ok, distribution from his had been poor though. Andrews playing quite well and superb strike for the goal. Italy have lions share of posession but not created anything apart from long shots so far. Trap faily happy I'd say. Ref giving too many free kicks.
Not to tempt fate, but would this be our first away win against higher ranked opposition in God knows how long? Or are we the designated home team, ha?
pirlo and rossi both off at ht
We're putting in a few tasty challenges.
We've only ever beaten italy once, could this be the second??
Wouldn't do any harm for the rankings
love the chalange by coleman.
proper tackle, take the ball out and the man just in case.
could it put us in with the 2nd seeds for the upcoming draw
Sledge doesn't look sharp at all. Good call not to go with him on sat.
foley very poor. i feel sorry for him.
doubt it, are friendlies worth muchQuote:

Cox coming on.
Looks like cox is coming on
And our friend from dublin gilardino
Cox being readied
right winger for italy cassani looks a good player
That made me smile...Quote:
