Anyone know of a site where I could follow the game today? Stranded over in Copenhagen and no pubs seem to be showing it. Can't handle a live radio or video-stream, but is there somewhere that would just give a live text Matchtracker maybe?!
Thanks a million...
I don't think you'll find one. I believe it is on Celtic's site as part of one of the pay packages.
I think Ireland won 1-0 with Robbie Keane scoring in the final minute.
On the celtic website was said 0-1 but on RTE they say there are no goals...
stupid...
but i don't know who scored...
Surely you should remember scoring the goal? And is foot.ie that great that you already rushed from the game to post? :DQuote:

It won't count as it isn't a full international match. Sorry Robbie, you're stuck on 24 until next Saturday at least. :)
:ball: PP
Plastic Paddy is completely correct. No official caps or goals awarded.Quote:

fair write up of the game, 2nd half was much better, saw the Pope fan, class! Mad cheering when larsson and moravcik were warming up/coming on. ireland support was quiet/in a minority. celtic fans were much noisier cos of mcnamara, moravcik, larsson, o'neill leaving etc.Quote:

Ya, just back from the game, not a whole lot to report to be honest, its hard to make concrete judgements at a testamonial
But seeing as Ireland only play 10-12 games a year I'm going to try anyway...
Reid started at right back, hope this doesn't mean we might need him there against Israel, he looked out of position (probably because he was)
Given looked sharp as ever in goal, Joe Murphy was a bit dodge, but he's only third choice anyway
McGeady played a bit for both teams, from what I've seen of him the second half of this season he might need a year or two to step up to international level
Elliott was lively with little end product
Robbie was his usual self, over elaborated sometimes but got his goal
Overall you'd feel that without the two Keanes and Duff we are a fairly average side, but like I said this is all based on a match where I could count the tackles on my fingers.
There didn't seem to be too many people there supporting Ireland, when we jumped up for the goal we were getting some very strange looks...good crowd overall though
i know! we weren't sure if it was a goal or not stuck at the opposite end cos it was so silent :eek: :oQuote:

I knew it was going to be experimental, but I wouldn't have pictured a back line of:
O'Brien Roy Keane McCarthy S. Reid
with Murphy in goal.
I can see why Kerr's would want to have a look at Carr at LB (as Finnan should be a cert for RB if he's fit), although I didn't think he a good game at all; a few dirty fouls that would be a liability in a competitve match.
I thought Steven Reid did fairly well for someone that never plays in that position, Miller and Doherty were surprisingly ok (well, better than expected) - Doc even laid the ball in for Robbie's goal.
At times, Murphy looked extremely suspect in goal.
In all, aside from giving everyone a run out, it may have been useful to have a look at some different combinations on the off chance that, God forbid, we're completely plagued with injuries some day.
I noticed O'Shea was the only one that didn't feature - still an injury concern?
reland XI: Given (Kenny 45, Murphy 68), Steven Reid (Carr 80 mins), Doherty, Cunningham (O'Brien 45), Carr (McGeady 68), Quinn (Holland 45), Miller (Roy Keane 45), Kilbane (Kavanagh 45), Andy Reid (Duff 45), Morrison (Robbie Keane 45), Elliot (McCarthy 68)
....Nobody mentioned about Miller getting boood <-(spelling? :confused: :D ) every time he got the ball. What do ye think, was it harsh? I mean after all it was supposed to be just a fun day, nothing serious! :ball:
strange to see celtic fans booing a fellow irishman :pQuote:

I'ma big admirer of Reid but not at full-back. Sourness played him there at the start of his Blackburn career & it did his confidence no good at all. McGeady skinned him on at least one occasion that I saw though he did make a great tackle on Bellamy. It's a pity Carr didn't impress at left-full though. I only saw 20 mins and thought he OK. It was an option I wouldn't have thought of.
I thought Miller looked handy enough though. God he needs first team football. Please take him back Celtic!
