Is the B game or U21 game on TV?

[eirebhoy]

Yeah Quinn seems to be one of the better players in the U21s.

Oops, I missed the other thread where the game was being discussed, I thought the game had been forgotten about.

Yeah Ireland just about deserved the win. Were the better side in the first half. As mentioned O'Cearuill scooped over the bar with an open goal in front of him on the stroke of half-time. Had a few other chances.

Was more even in the second half. Bulgarians if anything having slightly the better of it. Quigley had to pull off a couple of saves.

Watched the match on Sky. Quigley made a few fine saves but their goalkeeper was just as busy. I think Ireland deserved to win on the balance of play.

O'Cearuill, although he missed a sitter in the first half is a good player and really stood out for me. I really like Steven Quinn and as I said before is a more skillful version of Mark Kinsella a clever and skillful player. Gleeson was quite good throughout but faded towards the end. Dare I say it as I may get attacked again by that Paddywackery bloke but Anthony Stokes is utter crap? I have yet to see this bloke play a good match for either Sunderland or Ireland. That’s all I will say about him. Salmon came on for the last 15 min’s or so but didn’t do very much. I think that O’ Toole will be a good player for us. Need to eat a few spuds though.

Saw the goals from the B game on Sky Sports News, Byrne's was a volley from a rebound off the crossbar, very well taken
Keeper was at fault for the Scotland equaliser. Looks like a shot went in low to his left hand post, he dived, got a touch on it, and it spun back out, but the spin made it roll back over the line.
Goodwin's sending off was for 2 yellows, they only showed the second on and he definitely deserved it

Was he any use?

Just back from Athlone

NO, Sammon did nothing to impress.

Stephen Quinn has a lot going for him. Not everything came off for him tonight but he has a great attitude and a lot of ability.

Top class attitude and feet firmly on the ground. I've said it for a few years but potentially Stephen will have a lot to offer in the coming years. Not bad for a kid who was ignored at underage level. His younger brother again, Keith is also something special and may make the breakthrough in the next year.

Just back from Airdrie - great performance and we should have won. 1st yellow for Goodwin was harsh. Ref appeared to have forgotten as he had to be reminded to send him off for the 2nd one.

Apart from the first and last 5 minutes we dominated the game.

Dan connor and Alan Bennett cam eon for the last few minutes, Connor should have stopped a weak header that just trickled in. we still should have been out of sight. Scottish keeper Smith of Motherwell was excellent.

Best were Colin Doyle, Alex Bruce (Yes I know I know), Graham Gartland, Michael Doyle and Wes Holohan. Mark Yeates impresseed when he came on. Sean Dillon had a very good firast half.

Crowd was over 3,000, Visiting support was 3. We didn't even bother going in the empty away end. No problems of course cheering in the home end even when we scored.

Interested spectators included Alan Kelly, Steve Staunton, Mick McCarthy, Stephen Hunt, Steve Coppell and Gordon Strachan.

Great report, thanks.

Today's Indo singled out Yeates and Hoolahan as having laid the best claims to promotion.
