Italy V Republic of Ireland - Wednesday, 1st April 2009 - World Cup 2010 Q

[Maroon 7]

That is just dreadful. For Italy to get a man sent off and then to gift them a goal so soon is just criminal.

terrible, embarrassing defending. McShane and Keogh equally at fault

I can't fathom how neither of them saw Grosso just stroll in behind them. You'd go mental if you saw that happen down the park.

does anyone have the access code for justintv?

ok - italy a man down. We're pumping long balls over the top for our strikers and wingers to chase. We should be retaining the ball, make the italians run about and hopefully wear them out a little bit - ball retention, ball retention, ball retention.

[Maroon 7]

Keogh off. Folan on.

Paul mcShane is the most incompetent footballer I have seen in years. I know we have no depth, but seriously. Whatever raw talent he may have shown is by now very clear to have been hot air. He's a complete liability. Sigh.

I sense that bringin on Folan may not change this!!

Plays like he's got a nest of wasps in his shorts.

I love this exchange on justin.tv

8:15garretjoseph:whos coming on for keogh?

8:16burnsy_lufc:stevie reid?

8:16garretjoseph:looks like forlan?

[Irish_Praha]

Keogh off. Folan on.

Wow something positive from Trap looks like a 4-3-1-2 with Keane as the 1.
Hope it works and convinces Trap to be more positive in future.

I bumped into him at Dublin Airport a few years back just as he came on the scene. Should have run him over with a baggage trolley.
