McClean is all over the place. He's leaving acres out on that left hand side and Turkey are looking to exploit it every time.

I know it has only been friendlies so far, but the type of football under O'Neill has been complete rubbish so far. As bad as Trap.
These guys aren't even trying to pass the ball. The manager should be giving them a bollocking from the sideline. I can only think that they are under instruction from the manager to play the direct ball even when they have an open player next to them. Can only wonder what is going on in Roy Keane's head when he is watching this rubbish.
Stop talking nonsense. They're playing passing football with the occasional long ball when they're starved of options. It's not great but it's a totally different style.Quote:

The fact we're dominating possession and putting together passages with 20+ passes registers as stone age to you?Quote:

Friendlies count for very little in terms of accumulating ranking points. Scotland's rise is mainly down to recent good results in competitive fixtures.Quote:

Anyway, poor defending for the goal but I think we've done a lot of good things. Hoolahan is lovely to watch and McGeady has been excellent.
If looking for a stream........

I have seen repeatedly that a player has somebody open next to him and he plays the direct ball up front for an Irish skull and Turkish skull to do battle over.Quote:

For future reference, this channel streams the Sky Sports channels 24/7 and has never let me down.
Remember the name..... coolsport.
As usual, scoring or even testing the goalkeeper is anathema to McGeady.
That's it. Bring on Walters and Murphy and leave the guy who has scored 15 odd goals in the last 3 months on the bench.
I used to use that but I thought it had stopped broadcasting, I've been using another oneQuote:

Walters!! Rare goal. Collectors item. There is only believed to be one other in existence.
O'Shea putting all his experience and organisational skills to good use by getting dragged around all over the place again...
Fantastic finish by Walters though.
You could say the same about Luka Modric.Quote:

He has the same strike rate as Shane Long.Quote:
