Zurab is bald.

Good work form long but maybe shot too early, surely could have ran round the keeper?

Only Catholic priests wear genuine black, I believe...

Should be 1-0 up. Long should have finished that.

**Crosby87** · 02/06/2013, 4:53 PM

I cant believe he didnt score there. Long odds i guess.

**tricky_colour** · 02/06/2013, 4:54 PM

It's like watching a team of undertakers!!

**tricky_colour** · 02/06/2013, 4:55 PM

The day Ireland fielded 11 referees!!!

**Crosby87** · 02/06/2013, 4:55 PM

Did any of you guys see Silver Linings playbook? McShane looks exactly like that actor who plays the cop. He was also in Thin Red Line and the Romeo and Juliet with Leo Dicaprio. No who i mean?

**DannyInvincible** · 02/06/2013, 4:58 PM

No doubt about the straight red there. This goalkeeping debutant looks pretty hefty.

**Crosby87** · 02/06/2013, 4:58 PM

The Georgia coach has jeans on. Love it.

**tricky_colour** · 02/06/2013, 4:58 PM

That will kind of ruin what was already a poor game I think (probably) but we won't learn much playing against 10 men.

The ref should not have sent him off, it was not a goal scoring opportunity as despite being fast Long
was never gonna keep that one in.

Decent free kick.

**DannyInvincible** · 02/06/2013, 4:59 PM

Ha, the extra pounds certainly not stunting his sharpness. Good save from McClean's free-kick.

Good shout. Dash Mihok: http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0005231/

Common sense should've reigned there, keep it 11v11. Georgia's keeper off doesn't do anyone any favours. Also bloody awful touch from Long, was going straight out for a goal kick.

**Stuttgart88** · 02/06/2013, 5:00 PM

Does the last ten mins typify Long? Super payer, but doesn't take enough of his good chances.

**Crosby87** · 02/06/2013, 5:01 PM

Long is looking like a young Thierry Henry.

The two have never been seen together giving rise to suspicions (amongst some, or at least one) that they are indeed the same person.

**SwanVsDalton** · 02/06/2013, 5:03 PM

That two footed lunge was more of a sending off than the GK. Long should have two, could have a hat-trick. Great technique on the volley. But need him more clinical.
