This one is better quality and (virtually) spam/phish free.

Italy down to 10.

One of the most blatant and stupid yellow card offenses ever committed, right in front of the ref and the Italian beggarly protests like a drama queen.

I thought he was trying to tell him how much he enjoyed his dinner, although I'll admit Italian hand gestures are not my forté.

FT: Italy 1 Ireland 0

Thought we played well - dissappointing result - but played some good stuff imo

Some nice intricate moves ....refreshing to see after what we had to watch how our senior team played on Sunday night

Had some great chances to score - Dylan connolly probably should have levelled with 10 mins to go

That's being generous, he had time for a cup of tea at the back post before not even managing to work the keeper from about six yards.

Blast, Italy were nothing special. Should have got a draw there, especially after they went down to 10.

Does anyone know how those lads we have at Reading are getting on- Pierce Sweeney, Sean Long and Shane Griffin? They all seem to be in and around the first team squad and are mainstays in our underage squads but none of them seem to have had runs in the Reading team nor loans to lower league sides.

I see Reading are third in the under 21 league and the three of them seem to be ever-present in that side (as does Liam Kelly).

Sweeney rumoured to be coming back to Ireland. Not sure about the rest, but Clarke's not really the kind of manager to take a chance on young players.
