QuoteAB, amidst all the despair, you should be able to derive some pleasure in a tonking of Gibraltar.
Even we're not that bad...

Well yeah, but wasn't he implying Coleman would concede a penalty? Though why I don't know.Originally Posted by geysir
But have this feeling they (the theme park) will score in one of the two games...
That would hardly sell papers, would it?
The view from the theme park...

What's this theme park ****e about?
Even you can work that one out.
Wasn't it POS who once said that Coleman was always a penalty waiting to happen due to his unrefined, shoulder-barging GAA roots? We've just been waiting a few years, sure, but it's simply in his blood, so it will happen...
To be fair, he did concede a penalty a year or so ago, which is proof that POS is an oracle of truth.
Because Paul O'Shea worries that he has the concession of a penalty in him in every game. In fairness, he does have a tendency to get the wrong side in the box, and put his arms over the attacker's shoulder.
Aye, Danny said so, but is his record of conceding penalties that bad?
Isn't his 'own goals' record worse?
No, it's not that bad, that's why they're taking the p!ss.
Really?
What's so hard to believe?
Who knows...
Brian Lenihan called up, just over a month after leaving Cork City.
Just looked at the highlights from the game back last year. There are a few things that stand out:
. Very obviously they are the better team, but we absolutely did not make things easy for ourselves by how far we retreated from very early on in the game. I don't think this is a King issue either, it's something that went on in Mick's time.
. Their first goal came from a bit of overcomplication from Stokes, despite some excellent work by Coleman and Whelan.
. Forde was excellent. Stephen Kelly was not.
. Stokes despite not scoring, got himself into some brilliant positions, and we had a number of chances where we should have scored, not could.
I would like to see how we would fare out if we pressed much higher up the pitch. Germany are a superb technical team, and leaving them free to have the ball at the back, with one of their central players collecting and distributing, is a recipe for disaster. Conversely, I think with a bit of pressure on the player and the ball, Hummels and Mustafi. I would second guess they'll pick
Mustafi--Boateng -- Hummels-- Duerm
For me, that's a back 4 that absolutely must be attacked and pressurised. If we do that, I think it will have a huge effect on the game. I think we have the players that could that also, and not necessarily the players everyone expects. I'd start with Stokes up top, with McGeady, Long, and McClean behind them, or have a front three of McGeady, Stokes, Long, with Stokes the furthest forward... and while he isn't everyone's cup of tea, Jon Walters is excellent at this type of strategy so I wouldn't rule him out of the picture totally.
That's an obvious game plan, and looking at it objectively, if you're not going to attack them, then it goes without saying that you must harbour only hopes of a draw, and therefore pick your most defensive team possible to try to shut out Germany. That just will not work for us, because we don't have a back 4 that can withstand 90 mins of non-stop pressure, and this German side are about as good as any side going forward that anyone has seen at international level.

Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Jebus, was he on the same flight as Meyler or something and tagged along? A harmless inclusion as it's very unlikely a debutant, be it Doherty or anyone else would see game time against Germany. McShane must be worried about getting back into the squad now.
Serious amount of beards in the squad at the minute. All trying to impress Keano?
