Weirdest game ever, we look miles better without the 11th man.
McCarey playing unbelievable now.
4-1!
Doran
Italian TV has seen enough!
Seniors could learn a bit from them tonight,
Ireland down to 9 men
At this rate, we finish this with 8 men!
Italians have turned off the floodlights again!
This has to be the most ridiculous game I have ever watched.
Madness. At least one of the lights is back on anyway, surely bright enough to finish it now.....
4-2 now, the madness continues....
Finished 4-2, blew up on 45 dead, assume the ref just wanted it finished before the light went again!
All the Irish Goals

DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Some encouraging signs for the future:
http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/s...nt-207299.htmlFormer Italy and AC Milan boss Arrigo Sacchi is now in charge of elite talent for the association and requested access to the Irish dressing-room to laud King’s kids for the manner they went about their triumph.
To do so with nine men — Derrick Williams was sent-off in the first-half, Anthony Forde in stoppage time — was an incredible feat for a team assembled in only a few days.
"It was a nice touch by such a legendary figure," said King of Sacchi.
"He was one of 3,500 Italians in the stadium and none of them could have doubted we deserved to win the tie.
"The main area we worked on in training over the campaign was mastering the continental model of retaining possession and hitting teams on the counterattack. We scored all four goals on Thursday in that fashion. It all points to a big future but they must be given chances with their clubs too."
Defend deep with numbers and hit the other team on the counterattack, sound familiar anyone?
The counterattack tactic is not familiar with our senior team, unless you'd regard a 'lofted clearance' to a target man, as a counterattack.
