    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    2 best chances have come from crosses from left to right. Their right full is on his debut, facing Duff, that should be exploited.
    Whelan and Reid haven't gotten a grip in central midfied, although Reid has made some nice passes when he's been in possession
    Norway's strikers have been caught offside a lot, one well timed run could catch us out

    Game at a high tempo for a friendly
    Duff ran at the defence in space, good shot tipped over
    McGeady just wide from the corner

    Good man Robbie, nice goal!
    loads of space, runs into the box, turns the centre half, and shoots through the keepers legs!

    Norway are a solid enough team, I think that it's more a case of us playing well.

    Stephen Reid has been excellent. The way he is passing the ball reminds me of Ronnie Whelan in his prime. Great to see.

    Dean Kiely coming on at half time, good call.
    "he's getting old, and wants to get as many caps as possible" according to Dolan.
    really lashing down

    So far so good, Ireland have looked to keep knocking the ball around. I'd like to see Duff get into it more and beat his man. Whelan has done well , Reid has been excellent albeit its not the most combatitive midfield I've ever seen.
