The defenders are still hitting way too many long balls. Would love to see them just pass it to Meyler and McCarthy and try and build something from the middle.

Nice to see Ireland putting a few short passes together :p
Ggggooooaaaaaallllllllllll!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap, what a strike! Sign of things to come.
Brilliant finish - Robbie Brady ! I have seen the future... No pressure Robbie!
2-0 sack the first team!!
Nice one Brady! Well taken.
Deadly... hope theres highlights about.
Will Thank For Highlights.
Sigh. To be back in Poznan.
Shoes off...!!!
Trap looking rather disconcerted on the sidelines. Not happy with this tendency towards short passes and attacking play that's emerging no doubt.
Oman are terrible. We'd be better off playing a LOI team at Dalymount. What is the point of this match? Shane Long looks good so far.
So this is how Spain felt...Quote:

Sorry if Ken's had a mention already. I couldn't bring myself to read page 1 to 4 of this thread.
what a ball brady
Was gonna tale 50-1 for 6-0
Wish I had.
"Nothing special about this free kick"!!!?? **** off!
To bed happy at least...
Guys your usually ace updates ain't so hot tonight. Who's got the goals other than Brady?
Long and Doyle, both from freekicks
Both delivered by Brady. He could play himself into the team for Germany. Long has been excellant. Mcarthy and Meyler are trying to play it round but hasn't really been working out for them. Good to see them trying it hopefully they keep it up.Quote:

Brady's free kick was wicked!!
Who would you drop for Brady? No way he starts against Germany under Trap.
James McClean will be lucky to be in the squad after Brady's first half performance.
Brady free kick from right put deep and wide of the goal, head back across goal by Sledge, headed in by Long who beat the keeper to the balls.Quote:

Randolph and Pearce on for the second half.
Forde and Wilson out
This match really makes you wonder about the FIFA rankings when Oman are somehow nearly 50 spots higher than Kazakhstan, who in fairness are quite decent and even today are putting up a fight away to Sweden.
Everyone knows the rankings are a joke Murf
Robbie Brady's goal here:
Was hoping Trap would give Wilson a bit more time.
He's certainly been more impressive than McGeady, will be hard for him to displace Valencia and Young at OT though, maybe he'll go back to Hull? Long and Doyle have to start versus Germany, surely?Quote:

Wow, I honestly thought McGeady was the only bright spot until Doyle came on against Kazakhstan. He looked like Damien Duff the way he was beating his full back every time.Quote:

anyone of the 3 strikers that played on the wing last weekQuote:
