Ray Hudson on the bein sports link I'm watching on, he's an absolute nutcase, never a dull game with him on commentary
edit, thats a pen!

That would have been a penalty for our Shane.
Freaky stuff to see 4 of our players pressing the Italians in their half as they try to play the ball out.
We have these Italians on the rack.
Lovely play from our boys.
Giving Italy a pastaring.
Shades of Messi from Pilkington says Ray Hudson
:D
It's just like watching Iceland.
Close but no cigar..... just yet.
Just as predicted, Meyler, Hendrick and Pilkington have all offered a lot going forward.
You can tell that Pilkington is playing for a move.
Difficult header for Long as he was reaching back but the best strikers would score.
Should be in front. Some great stuff in the last 15 minutes. Players really snapping into the Italians in their own half.
Cracking atmosphere at the game, doesn't feel like a friendly. Wondering if the players are benefiting from the atmosphere and occasion away from the doldrums of the Aviva. They certainly seem like a different team sometimes when playing away.
But none of them have Jeff Hendrick's cheekbones.Quote:

Liking a lot of what I see, we seem a lot better organised and always seem to have
people in the right place. Some good passing, a lot more watchable than recent games.
I can't wait to see what he says here later...Quote:

Probably.Quote:

Suspected broken leg for Montolivo... Hopefully that's wrong.
I think you've set the bar for casual racism pretty low there.
I'm at the Froch v Groves fight, I know I'm a bit of a superhero to many on here.
But even I can't be in two places at one time.
Your logic is flawed about me.
Doesn't surprise me that we are holding our own v Italy, in general we always play better against these type of international teams.
It's the Turkey's and Greece we slip up on.
If that is the kind of attitude most Irish people have about it, I'm not surprised it is still acceptable to racially abuse and mock Irish people.Quote:

Pretty tired of typing this during Ireland matches - Shane Long, c'mon lad! Dreadful attempt at a through ball for McGeady and then should've done better with that chance.
This is about as close to "when did you stop beating your wife?" as I've ever seen on here.Quote:

Hoolahan deserved a better finish than that.
Veratti is a class player. Will probably be the only non-Serie A player in the starting team at the WC.
Well, he does try.Quote:

I don't think we will do so well with McClean on.
I never accused you of racism, but yes your anecdote would be a lot closer than somebody making a joke about a weed.
Pilkington and Hoolahan have surely done their chances of attracting some interest no harm. Hendrick too has attracted PL interest in the past and he has been a credit to himself.
Did the commentator say Quinn is another one playing for a new contract? I thought he had another year or two at Hull.
Cox on instead of Doyle?
Thats the price for dissin' Robbie.Quote:
