Over here in Koh Samui Thailand (for my sins), couldnt watch game live so was waiting to watch relive game today, couldnt wait to watch game to get the result, Its been annoying me all nite.
What a result, we never used to do it the easy way, At least now we are all but sorted. Time for ticket scramble, pleasant change for our lot, lol
Delighted by tonights result, can hardly believe it, it just felt so satisying to see the lads deliver so conclusively when it really mattered in a game. It has been a while, very enjoyable.
Just woke up hungover as hell. Don't care even a little bit. Still buzzing. Put 'em under pressure will pretty much be on a loop today.
I reckon it's time for another song. Football teams releasing songs for tournaments, cup finals, etc is surely so unfashionable it's bound to be retro by now.
David Kelly of the Irish Independent is a clown. He doesn't seem to have much time for Robbie Keane either. Very negative slant taken in some parts of his article today.
Andrey Stepanov compounded an earlier indiscretion on McGeady with an attempted decapitation of Keane. No matter that Keane's efforts had already been of the headless variety.
Continuing to intelligently track the play, he loitered patiently as McGeady and Keane interlinked, the former's shot allowing the captain to find his partner with a speculative lobbed cross.
David Kelly seems reluctant to give Keane any credit bar: Keane's assassin-like predatory instinct was the cue for Ireland's supporters to delve into depths of feeling that have remained reserved for so long and also.
This reporter seems to have knives out for Keane and Trap. What his problem?
Hes an arseholeQuote:

Whatever gets us through, I don't care. If it's 8-16-24-32 teams, so be it.
The top 2 will qualify out of the group, and a number of 3rd places. In the finals, 16 of the 24 sides, including the 4-best 3rd placers will make the knockout phase, so we have a great chance of going quite far.
Legendz, Kelly has it in for Trap and Keane and has done for ages. His article comparing Keane to O'Driscoll recently was a joke, but lots of similar guff has preceded it.
Well, how is everyone this morning?
:cool:
There's been a few mentions on the thread about the union jack flags in the stadium, and Ken Early mentioned in the build up to the game on Newstalk that one of the flags is a permanent fixture in the stadium, so I checked it out.
The black, white and blue union jack is the flag of the Estonian navy, known as the naval jack - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_Navy
According to this post on Ready To Go (Sunderland fan site) - http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showpos...63&postcount=2 - St George's Day is the anniversary of a revolution in Estonia, the St George's Night Uprising - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George's_Night_Uprising - so it's nothing to do with England
There's a link on that post to this (rather long) article on the history of St George's Day in Estonia - http://www.folklore.ee/folklore/nr1/georg.htm
Hungover, but yet with that wonderful spring in my step that I had when I got laid for the first time.
The panel last night were miserly in their appraisal of McGeady's cross to Andrews. Sure Andrews met the ball perfectly and did all the work to turn the chance into a goal, but McGeady's lob to his head, over two covering players, was as good as could be done in the circumstances, by even the most skillful player.
If most of the songs for 2002 (and even 1994) are any indication, I think we can do without any new songs.Quote:

Was delighted fro Ward, Andrews ande Keane. Walters done well.
Not keen on Duff on the right wing any more though..
I've never seen David Kelly and 'Blake Steidler' in the same room. Just sayin'.Quote:

"In soviet Russia product ends you". :p
What a game. What a night. Thank you.
