1-1! Oman! Equaliser within 90 seconds.
Actually, looks like it's in off the defender's hand, and the keeper was slow to react (though it was very close to him). Oman'll claim it though.
Super ball in.

1-1 ha ha ha.
Fair dues Shams !
Brilliant. Just logged in thinking that they would have conceded. Delighted they got the equaliser early.
Come on Rovers.
Fair play to Oman. Making amends right away. He was caught a bit flat-footed for their goal. I missed the Rovers goal as my Sopcast stream got caught in a repetitive loop. Argh!
Good stuff to equalise so soon! Forgot ko was so early, decent 3e stream at work!
Unlucky there. Ridiculous handball when the goal was gaping. If he'd controlled that properly, it was 2-1 Rovers.
(Don't think he was offside)
Edit: Too late
Ironic. I saw the standard issue early goal because Rovers are caught in a repetitive loop.Quote:

Was wondering how you'd work out which of them to book in that case actually. Can you book two people for the same foul?
Rovers competing well though. What have they been doing since the end of the season? Just training or have they played any friendlies?
What's the score with you? I've lost count, but I think it's about 21-0 to Rubin by now with me. Nightmare.Quote:

Dennehy.....nearly scored.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; Thompson is an absolute lunatic.
Ryan Thompson is like a footballing version of Cool Runnings.
Holy Christ almighty. Talk about repetitive loops. Ryan Thompson is the worst goalkeeper I have ever ever seen.
2-1 Kazan. Decent strike in fairness.
Thompson is surely the worst keeper to have ever played proper European football.
I'd have him at fault for the 2nd goal aswell.
He's also the worst keeper I've ever seen in Hunky Dory's. Who would you want under a corner? Him or Trimble?Quote:

WTF was Murray at there?! Rovers looking a shambles at the back at times.
4-1. Looks like this'll be the hammering that's been hinted at all campaign really. Thompson reckons the ball had gone out of play maybe?
He has a point. Blatantly out of play. Ridiculous that neither the ref, the linesman or the goal-line ref didn't see it.
The entire ball was clearly well out of play. No ambiguity there. Disappointing.
Hope not, but it's looking like it.Quote:

Dolan on commentary actually made a decent point that maybe both looked across the goal at the potential offside when the player put in the shimmy (or trip), and so weren't looking at the ball when it went out of play. But you'd imagine the two would prioritise - linesman looks for offsides and fouls; fourth official looks for stuff the lino might miss (like the ball going out of play)
Killer on; Finny off. Another non-UCD sub too.
Fifth officials are useless. He knew it went out of play, they're just not allowed make decisions.
The defending has been very poor, unfortunately. Rubin are a quality side but they're average enough at the back. A bit more composure at both ends and Rovers could have given them a real scare.
I think you and I are watching the same feed b2w on NTV plus. I was in Kazan last week and they were saying how they figured Rovers would freeze after half time, literally. You can't understand how cold it is down there, and I see some of the Rovers lads not wearing gloves! If they can pull a goal back then pick up the pity point against Spurs next week, all is good. Rubin ARE that good, they don't get players in the Russian team because Advocaat doesn't pick the national team, if only we could get a couple of them to join the Irish side.
One thing, WTF is THomson doing even playing LOI, worst keeper I've seen ever.
O'Donnell went to the 'university' of Falkirk.Quote:

b2w - it's the same, good quality and they did their best to talk up Rovers, and at least they're giving them respect. I went to Ulyanovsk (platzkart), we drove up to Kazan and back, then platzkart back to Moscow. I was going to fly back to Moscow but then I figured, I'd spent a week working non-stop and trudging around teh Volga region, so 16hours lying listening to music and reading was just the tonic I needed.
CD - he might stop shots, but he has no command of his area, gets lost when he moves off the line and a keeper like that is a liability (imo). If Rovers are to continue progressing next year they need to invest in a quality keeper, centre back and at least one more centre mid. They have to go outside of Ireland though, and not to the UK looking for rejects. They have to speculate a little.
Terrible decision. For those who see no use for the officials behind the goal, a clip of that can be used as a case in point. Disgrace.Quote:

Remember he's only played 20 odd games of first team football in his career - it's not as if there are loads of great goalkeepers floating around to replace him.Quote:

Maribor have just blown a 3 goal lead against Brugge. They've pulled 3 back in an 8 minute spell. Good news for the co-efficient rankings, as I think Slovenia may have overtaken us with a win.
Edit... make that four goals in 16 minutes. What a turnaround!!
My Dan was a class above this evening.
