    Abankwah and Moore not in the u19 squad weirdly. Injuries perhaps?

    I'll have to catch the highlights or something later. Won't even be able to follow the updates on here or elsewhere. Pain in the ringpiece. But I've blocked off time for all our scheduled games for the rest of the year - missed this one. Last year a lot our games fell on Saturdays but not the case for this year.

    Weird anyway. Hopefully they’re both back for Saturday.

    First half performance hasn’t been great. Should have been 3-0 up after 30 mins with O’Mahony having 3 chances. A shot over the bar which he should have scored, another that the keeper spilled which was just outside the reach of mark and Zefi. Third a shot from a corner which was blocked by a defender.

    From then on, it’s been bad. The pitch was deteriorated with the rain and Slovakia have looked the more dangerous. Could see a slip costing either team. McJannett and McManus probably haven’t done enough - and O’Mahony isn’t working hard enough off the ball. Zefi and Umeh have the beating of their fullbacks but not much has come of it

    How is Vata's name pronounced? I thought it was "Rock-oh" but the commentator is saying "Reek-oh"

    strange game in some ways. uneven.

    a draw would probably be a fair result from what i have seen.

    edit: slovakia score immediately as i posted the above.

    Got what they deserved in the end, the finishing has been laughably bad all day and if you don’t take you’re chances you get punished at this level.

    the slovakians are so big, makes no sense to pump the ball in the air. tough to play on the ground considering the the pitch

    You could see how this was going to go in the first half. It was a carbon copy of the Cyprus game, complete headless chickens from the first whistle which is even worse when you’re defense is so attriocus…

    Saw bits of first half and most of second. Had the chances to win pretty comfortably but really poor finishing. Defence was a bit soft and got caught far too easily when we were chasing the win at 0-0 and again when chasing an equaliser. Conditions were awful but no excuse really.

    That's how I saw it too PI. Should have gone ahead in the first half, but decision making and finishing were poor around the Slovakian box. Don't think the keeper had a serious save to make in those 45 minutes.
    Conditions didn't help, the pitch looked really bumpy, and the rain made accurate passing difficult. Slovakia should have had at least one more, Byrne came racing out and went down easily under a soft touch when he was going to be rounded. They had a clear penalty denied when one of their players was clipped in the box.
    If Slovakia beat Greece on Saturday, then they're as good as through, and we'll have wasted an amazing opportunity to have two underage teams at a tournament this summer

    Yeah, just back from game now. Ireland deserved at least a point and were at least the equal of the Slovakians. Conditions were dreadful particularly in the first half and the Ferrycarrig pitch, which normally holds up very well, was cut up very badly by the end. Ireland should have been ahead at half-time as O'Mahony shot over when in on goal from the right, Kevin Zefi had a free tipped over and the Slovakian keeper dropped a routine header by Ireland which nearly dribbled over the line. At the end of the first half, Slovakia had two chances from a header which was deflected for a corner and then a free header from a Slovakian corner which probably moved in the wind as the Slovakian player didn't manage to keep it on target.

    Second half began with the Slovakians again on top but Ireland began to dominate after about 15 minutes with Zefi having a shot from the left which he pulled wide and Vata having a free shot on the Slovakian goal which was straight at the opposing keeper. Ireland continued to make chances with a free header which went over the Slovakian bar and Vata with another effort just past the post. An error at the back gave the neat Slovakians the chance to score at the near post for 1-0. With a few minutes to go, it was an undeserved 2-0 to Slovakia when another move on the break made it 2-0. Ireland pulled one back when, with a minute to go of injury-time, a shot was drilled home from close in. Best for the Irish, I thought, were Zefi, O'Mahony (although he had a quiet second half), Curtis, Alex Murphy and Vata, when he came on. Weaknesses looked to be poor crosses and corners by Ireland perhaps due to the conditions and the lack of a holding player in midfield which left the defence very open. Pitch was fairly sloppy by the end of the game.

    Camera absolutely shocking for this game. Camera all titled to one side making it seem like Ireland is playing up hill.

    At least in the second half we'll have the wind behind us when we play down hill.
