But professional footballers cruising against part-timers don't turn to utter muck. Why does that continually happen? Are they told to give the ball away so we can defend?

Absolutely. But my point is that against Macedonia, we nearly got caught in both games doing that, because they're a lot better than Andorra. Armenia are a lot better than Macedonia again. I don't see why we have to switch off in games. And I think it could well cost us tomorrow.

Class trip. My first in a couple of years. Think a lot of Irish stayed below in Barcelona. Big mistake IMO. Andorra lovely scenic place - far preferable to some shoite irish bar in a big city. Was delighted with the high tempo start myself, the two forced goals and had no problem with the team playing out the remaining 70 mins training match style.
