Israel match thread

[a beliver]

i dont think u can blame brian kerr
we scored once a one the a milion goal(goal in head from 16 meters which scored by a defender that was in his first international game including practice(
and the second one was from a penenlty
and u had many chances to score for sure
that game could easily end five neal to ireland
it was all luck

I salute you for your honesty

[a beliver]

no problem
people in israel cant face the truth lots of times
yeah sure i'm glad we drew against u from 2-0
but we didnt deserved it the way we played

[Poor Student]

please tell me:

what did awate do wrong apart from the red card which everybody agrees that wasn't fair. that red card didn't change the game we came back before it.
i think it is a little bit of frustration from you guys out on our keeper

Don't you wonder why we had to have 7 minutes of injury time? Feel he faked injury once, or twice or three or four times by any chance?

Not for the first time Israel get away with MURDER

Now now, leave that sort of stuff out angry as you may be.

[Lenny]

Israel certainly rode their luck at times but they also showed considerable spirit. Lenny - seriously - are you really proud of your goalkeeper?

No. Like i said (in my thread that was deleted for no reason), Awat desrevs an oscar. I'm just ****ed that some irish fans don't give a team that showed a great spirit the respect it desreves by calling her a "joke team".

Hang on ... it was Kerr's tactics that got us a 2-0 lead. He wasn't helped by Keane getting injured or by individual mistakes by our players - Cunningham taking a step back away from the ball when they played in the freekick for their first goal! - Given blasting the ball up into the air when he had several easy straightforward passes that lead to the penalty - O'Shea with his arms all over the player in the penalty box (I know there was minimal contact but still). Too many mistakes.

Even if Pat Scully was the ireland manager we would have been 2 up ANYWAY.

[hamish]

Hamish do you smoke copious amounts of pot or does old age just mellow you out?

Gave that stuff up years ago. With only two brain cells, like Israel, got to make the best of what I've got.

I know it's just me but being older but I went through the agonies of the game in Bulgaria when we were cooned, the game in the early 80s against Belgium when we were conned and Heaven knows how many other games with Athlone, Beeslow etc etc It just gave me a bad stomach so I'm trying to stay calm or I'll get sick with annoyance and I've enough on my plate as it is - read what I said about the leeper and referee. Sorry about this -he was a Greel Tradegy.

When I read the match reports in the morning, I promise to get vexed again.

For the moment got to stay mellow and a bottle or two of wine will help. Thank God I had 'em in the fridge. This is the time to use them.

The keeper embarassed himself with his antics. The rest of their lads can hold their heads up high; they have shown great team spirit in all their games, always coming from behind and digging out great results. I remember Ireland were a bit like that once....

and what is that diffrent than any other football game played on earth?
the first injury when duff kicked his face was not a fake. the third one with the blood wasn't either. again i will say that the red card wasn't justified but that didn't change the match

No need for that D2 Red

I would Edit it fairly quickly if i was you.

It's a huge rarity that one player can waste so much time so often yet prove himself between to be not seriously injured at all and play competently.

Ah come on man - you're trying my patience. So I'm frustrated - so what - part of following foptball at times. I just don't like this thread degenerating to a racism thing. My criticism of the keeper was on his behaviour - it just wasn't acceptable. Nothing to do with your country.

He got injured ONCE and played dead ar least five more times when he wasn't injured.
I repeat, if Shay Given or anyone else did the same carry on, I'd criticise him/them too.

Read my above post again, man.

[Adrianovic]

I don't think anyone can honestly disagree the antics of the Israeli goalkeeper was shameless and a disgrace to all he represents. And yes, the referee was a clown.

I don't know, I was angry earlier, then I went into acceptance, now I'm onto apathy.

that is football - it's not a perfect game, and he got injured but kept playing. he did waste time, but not anything not usual in every game.
i'm sure that he will get high grades tomorow in israel and low in ireland, it's all about your prespective

Apathy?
Ah Jesus Ade - don't go THAT far - I'll keep some of the wine for you!!!

Frankly the amount of time he wasted was utterly bizarre. You can see this by the freakish amount of injury time. How often have you seen 7 minutes?

If our keeper did this I would be disgusted and embarrassed. It is not about who you support but you own view of the morals of the game and I find yours questionable if you condone his really really perplexing actions. Even Hamish is almost annoyed.
