Republic of Ireland V Turkey, Italy, Costa Rica & Portugal - May/June 2014

well i hope thats it cos he is definitely a headbanger at times and thats what im worried about

id say martin will be disappointed with the sending off, the ref saw blood and sent him off.

it ruins the game in a way, cos we wanted a proper game we could try and control 11 hermanos v hermanos.

Its definitely reminiscent of the trap era, green has been trying at least, so it shows up his mistakes whelan just does nothing.

Pretty much everyone pretty poor, bar wilson pilks and doyle.

That was then, this is now...we don't hammer anyone anymore?

But largely agree with stu.
As for Forde, a competent keeper, no more. As oft repeated on here and elsewhere.
At the top level, he always will be a liability, but apparently no-one better, not his fault.

Has Doyle done enough with QPR to get a contract for next season from them? Would be great to have him back playing top flight

That half time analysis really didn't clear up the red card!

Did the guy who went up for the header with Doyle get a yellow, and someone else got a red?

Nah; there's something weird happening where a new page isn't starting immediately. Click refresh and you can thank them. Otherwise, the posts you can't thank are actually on the next page.

Weird...Sky sports says he was sent off for a deliberate handball..

**tetsujin1979** · 07/06/2014, 1:12 AM

should Doyle have been cautioned for the earlier elbow? Looks to me like he only had eyes on the ball, whereas the Costa Rican player went to hit Doyle
will that card keep him out of the opening games in the World Cup now?

Christmas ads?!?!

**boysingreen** · 07/06/2014, 1:13 AM

Nope, my ignore list is empty

**zero** · 07/06/2014, 1:13 AM

robbie hasn't been in the game at all. i hope the legs aren't gone.

i say this from a place of concern.

costa riga are poor enough and we are marginally better so far. i assume the sending off was for an off camera incident?

**ArdeeBhoy** · 07/06/2014, 1:15 AM

Red cards in these friendlies have no impact on the Finals...

**paul_oshea** · 07/06/2014, 1:15 AM

they didnt zoom in on any of the irish women there at the game....

would be good to befriend a few costa ricans and have a party with them.

Which isn't a sending off of itself.

Gonna need to see that on a non pixellated-to-hell screen

Not sure if it's a leg issue, or just he hasn't had much possession or players close by to interact with. Would have liked to see him play with Hoolahan to see how they link up.

Paddy Pemberton on for the Costa Ricans.
