Everyone looks so young... massive shirts..
2 big failures. The fa selling tickets to people without checking
Placing away fans in that part of a stadium
The shame, that the game was allowed to be cancelled...

Got a sense of deja vu reading that, jbyrne - no wonder as it was discussed previously here.
I watched the game in a pub on Sky in Reykjavik, electric atmosphere at the game, the best friendly ever, then a switch was flipped and we were were just witnessing the ugliest scenes ever. I remember the bad feeling I had on the way home, probably would have needed to talk with Joe on Liveline the next day.
David Kelly had a bet on himself to score the first goal (those were the days), I wonder was he able to collect?
Didn't Duffer and Ronaldo have a bit of a spat during this game?
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Good memory, Fixer. He was booked for a foul on Ronaldo anyway so presume that was it (yellows aren't given out lightly in friendlies) - https://www.theguardian.com/football...wsstory.sport2
Yet Kerr's team are not all about defending and there was again a smattering of good attacking, led by the tireless Damien Duff on his 50th appearance and Andy Reid. If Duff caught the eye going forward, he also impressed with his work getting back.
Mourinho, already without Arjen Robben at Stamford Bridge, may have been dismayed in some ways by Duff's effort levels during the 68 minutes that he was given by Kerr. It was a sign of how seriously the winger was taking matters that he earned a booking for tripping Cristiano Ronaldo.
i remember being a kid at that game. Ronaldo milked a tackle early with about 6 rolls and got a player, presumably Duffer, booked for what was a robust but fair tackle. Ronaldo was booed every time he touched the ball from that point on. Unless it was a different player who initially got booked and duffer laid into him later...
Was on the north terrace that night, Kilbane was immense
Wasn’t he a real favourite for Middlesborough for years but to be honest for us overall he was a pretty much a non event ! ! !
He had a few years as a very good free taker for Ireland and Liverpool / Villa.
He had a great left foot. A Fine Player for Ireland.
Bloody good pass from Quinn!
The head on the Portuguese lad ( was it Couto ) looking at Aldridge ! !
it led to this confrontation (can't embed for some reason)
