I'm watching the Faroes play Serbia. Have to say I'm extremely impressed with the way they're lined out. They're parking the bus, but they're chasing everything down and not giving Serbia an inch to play in. They've even had a couple of very decent chances on the counter-attack.
In my opinion, they've been the better team in the first half :eek:
Just as I say that, Serbia score!
Carrigaline, any chance you could PM me a link?

I see the next game is in the middle of August .. wonder could they catch off guard coming back from holidays etc.
Might mosie on down to the Prater in September if it doesn't clash with Ireland match .. and cheer on the Faroes.
I see that The Faroes only lost by one goal to France tonight:

Fair play, Brian's clearly teaching these guys something positive...
Losing 1-0 to France has already cost him 1 job. :DQuote:

Missed a good chance to equalise in the last minute too, they look like we did under Kerr, organised and solid but they won't score goalsQuote:

Sort of like the way we look now! (last nights match excluded;))Quote:

they must be all under 20 years old for him to be doin this well.
I hear Kerr has adopted a "Barely Legal" selection policy.Quote:

Go on Kerr! :D
Faroes 2-1 up now! Hansen on 35mins.
2-1 faroes now!
kerr for Ireland :o
Wow, fair play! Ok I'd be damned curious to watch highlights of that match & see how Kerr's team play
last few minutes here AMaccann

huge result for the Faories and Kerr if it stays at 2-1 - best in their history?
naah they beat Austria a few years ago in a championshipQuote:

Fair play to Kerr.
Kerr will be up with the Fairies later on.
The sound dropped off for most of the post match interview but it was easy to see the sheer delight on his face.
Nice interview with him there at the end. I guess as manager of the Faroes thats as good as it can get really.
Having said that, while Kerr's in charge I'd rather avoid them in future qualifying groups, could be a disaster waiting to happen.
ya but kerr is smart, he is using it as a stepping stone, its his next step up to a mediocre european team or league and then if he does well in that its his way in to top(er) management tier.
Kerr for Kazakhstan!!!
Fair play Kerr.
Well done Brian Kerr, delighted to see him doing well. Folk hero in the Faroes now.
Good on him. I bet he has a sore head this morning!
I did smile when I saw the result last night , well done to Brian I am sure he had a good night .
He had a sore head in Graz at the weekend too every night in the pub.Quote:

fair play brian, great to see him doing well. great result against a decent side.
yeah, well done Kerr.Great win. Lithuiania beat Romania 3-0 in Romania at the start of the campaign.
Is the Faroese equivalent of Joe Duffy or Marion Finucane calling him a "miracle worker" now?
I always thought Kerr was very unlucky to be turfed out when he was. His biggest mistake was going 4-5-1 when we went 2-0 up against Israel, but if we had held out for the 2-0 win he would have been a great man. Also, Israel's last minute equalizer against us didn't help either.
Delighted to hear when he got the Faroes job. If he picks up 4 points in a qualifying campaign plus a friendly win or 2 along the way they'll make him president. He is clearly using this as a stepping stone to further his managerial career and why not!! Fair play to him!!!
