Very unlike us to defend like that. Might as well throw a bit more into attacking now? Maybe? Trap?...

Yup, beehive defense mentality.
Pray to god that Dunne is fully fit come June.
That didn't look too clever, everyone sucked over to the left of the pitch leaving the centre wide open.
The mid-field is woeful
Jesus - not Green please!
Haha, Stephen Hunt and PAUL GREEN warming up.
Trap is a joker sometimes.
looking on the bright side we are doing better than group members Croatia who are 1-3 down to sweden :)
Trap is our Maggie Thatcher - ultra conservative.
Just wait until Green hammers home a Hunt cross!!!Quote:

Stupid substitution - nothing will be learnt from this.
Trap putting Green on instead of McCarthy is pretty frustrating...
Duffy, Coleman, McCarthy and McClean all sitting on the bench.
Perhaps the finest collection of young Irish players since Duff, Keane, Dunne and Given came through.
****'s sake
Cox and Walters next.
for f*** sake
only 2 subs left
This is frustrating. We have some good established players and some good young players. 2012 is when they come together and we can create a team that is the mix of the two. In 2014 the good established players (Duff, Keane, Dunne, Given) will have probably have moved on.
2012 is a unique opportunity for good players from different generations to combine into a team.
Paul Green. God's sake.
The Irish football and rugby teams are very similiar at the moment. For both it's harder to get off the team than on it.
McLean warming up
Trap isn't interested in seeing what a lot of these young lads can do. He's more concerned with the result. Shame really as these friendlies are the perfect opportunity to give them a run out.
McClean warming up!!
The cavalry is on it's way!! :)
If he was interested in the result he would change things around. Do nothing and we lose.Quote:

Irrespective of that, it's a nonsense not giving the younger fellas a proper game.
Here we go...
Was his number "26" picked on purpose?
Yeah but he believes so much in his "system" and the players who've played in the qualifiers that even when it's not working he thinks it will. Hence, the reluctance to change anythingQuote:

Crap performance
Cant believe we had Green over McCarthy.
goallllllllllllllllllll1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice goal Cox, nice ball in from Andrews
Simply a brilliant goal from Cox
Cracking goal
wow threaded the eye of a needle there, what a genius trap is :p
Cox knows where the goal is!
Now that's a goal. Great work by Andrews and terrific finish by Cox.
Damn you tc, you're ahead of my stream.....Quote:

Hopefully. Have a lot of time for him and his attitude is something else!Quote:
