Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
No Seamie once again, well done Trap.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Just like Slovakia and Russia. We are not going anywhere under Trap IMO and that's not a kneejerk reaction.Originally Posted by SwanVsDalton

All over. Only a friendly but still a poor defeat. Norway offered very little and still won.
The decrepit old fool has made a liar of you, unfortunately.
roddy collins you're a flanker you're a flanker!
reflects very poorly on us that they were that bad, and we were at home.
zombie/thread killer..
You're nuts if you think Russia are anywhere near that level. Slovakia maybe, but they have some gears. That crowd we're rubbish.
McGeady back to his bad old tricks there in the last 5, aimless stuff.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
We are totally one paced. Slow. No flippin tempo whatsoever.
Bit unclear but when I said 'get his chance' I met some point in the near future as opposed to this match.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
That's how Norway play, hold deep, rope a dope. And they did it well.
We were good in the first 20 of both halves. Just didn't maintain it at all.

Disappointed that neither Wilson or Coleman got on the pitch. Does not make sense - wasting time with Whelan!
An average Slovakia could beat them in Russia. Slovenia knocked Russia out to qualify for the World Cup and they are average. Belgium beat them 2-0 tonight in Russia (friendly). Are they really that good? I personally don't think so. Anyway back to the match.

First 20 minutes we looked really good then it became the usual. No idea why we didn't try Coleman, or switch anything round in the middle of the park. i know injuries restricted things but still..
i hope nobody comes on here and tries to defend the team selection, tactics and mindset of Trappatoni after that display. Overpaid, lazy has-been. What a waste of 90 minutes.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I hope the Nations cup games are alot better than this. Friendlies appear to becoming more and more less relevant for fans and players alike.
Did we learn anything significant tonight???!? Maybe that Fahey might be worth a go at centre midfield. Shane Long developing into a useful option up front. But anything more?? Particularly wouldve like to have some more of Foley and also Wilson and Coleman.
I'd be perfectly happy if we played negative stuff but did it well. We play negative stuff badly.
I actually don't think the central midfielders did all that badly (Whelan played a lot better than he did in previous games) but they were clearly gassed towards the end. Never mind Coleman, how Wilson didn't get on the pitch I do not know...

Where was he going to come on after O'Dea had been replaced by Foley? McGeady had already come on and Hunt and Treacy were the natural replacements for Duff.
Overall I'm disappointed with the result. We didn't play much in the second half compared to the first (tiredness?). Walters did not impress me and McGeady was useless. I thought Fahey's passing was quite poor at times, which is worrying for a player whose main strength in his repertoire is his passing.
I was impressed with Long - that kid's a terrier. Cunningham played well enough before he was caught out for the second goal and Whelan put himself about well.
On O'Dea; I wonder is this recurrent injury going to continue throughout his career? If so, it's a shame, since he'll never be considered a reliable option or backup for centre half - something we desperately need. I was also puzzled as to why Trap didn't put Wilson in there.
