Another great strike. Tough job now.

**BonnieShels** · 29/07/2011, 6:24 PM

Need to keep it respectable now.

**DannyInvincible** · 29/07/2011, 6:25 PM

George has outlined the intricate details of Sarabia's transfer conditions from Real to Getafe three times now.

**BonnieShels** · 29/07/2011, 6:26 PM

Thankfully I was in the shops. So I just heard it the once.

**Kingdom** · 29/07/2011, 6:26 PM

Is it just me or are the Spanish fellas (the spine of the team - not the wingers) bigger and more athletic than the Irish equivalents? It looks like men against boys in physical stakes (to me anyway).

Playing some nice football at times both full backs are really centre halves and dont look comfortble on the ball to bring wide players into play. The5 irish midfield lads are lovely footballers Hendrick will be a premiership footballer he covers the ground well thats the kind of athleticism poor old darron gibson needs!

With you there, the description of our side as mostly an English team of Irish descent was the low point, followed closely by Wolves relegation having a silver lining for McCarey due to Hannehman leaving. Hmmmm

Anyway, heres to an early goal from the lads in the second period.

**tricky_colour** · 29/07/2011, 6:45 PM

Someone throw the towel in!!

**DannyInvincible** · 29/07/2011, 6:45 PM

That was pretty ruthless. That goal was scored 24 seconds after we centred the ball and 13 seconds after Spain first touched it in this half.

**BonnieShels** · 29/07/2011, 6:45 PM

Early goal from the Spanish lads!

Terrible defending.

**Paddy Garcia** · 29/07/2011, 6:59 PM

Did we not leave some talent behind!

**paul_oshea** · 29/07/2011, 7:14 PM

In fairness no point talking about what we didnt bring i think these lads have done great that is a scary good spanish side. Wrong to think Brady, Duffy, McGinty and McEleney would have made a difference

**paul_oshea** · 29/07/2011, 7:23 PM

didnt see enough of it to say anything about it. But spains conveyor belt is phenomenal

**Charlie Darwin** · 29/07/2011, 7:28 PM

Never a penalty but probably sums up the game for us.

**tetsujin1979** · 29/07/2011, 7:30 PM

never a penalty, 5-0 was harsh on the Irish players.
Spain are some team, the setup there must be incredible

**DannyInvincible** · 29/07/2011, 7:34 PM

Not even bothered to moan about the penalty. God, that was grim viewing. A real master-class from Spain. Still, fair play to the lads for making it this far. Spain are in a different league.

**Brendan 82** · 29/07/2011, 8:12 PM

They just could not keep the ball. They will hopefully learn A LOT from that game. Fair play for getting to the Semi lads

They will have learned to be afraid of Spanish opposition for the rest of their footballing lives. An awful humbling, the kind that hopefully doesnt scar. And well done for what they did manage to achieve up to that encounter.

Just nosing around on wikipedia, it seems Hendrick might be in line to fight for a place in Derby's midfield this year with Paul Green out for the next 6 months. He's been allocated #23:
