Ireland South Africa

Pity Rovers didnt have a stadium that they could have made a bit of money out of then wasn’t it??

life isnt all about making money mac

How many games would that be? One?

Pity the past and present Rovers board didn’t think the same thing I suppose.

:smiley:

FAI releasing some tickets to Italy game in Thomand tonight. Good idea in fairness.

Fine anthems there.

Backed South Africa. :mad:

Anyone have a link?

Folan surprises me last couple of times I have seen him with how quick he is. Always imagine him to be lumbering sort but he is quite agile and could have had a peno there.

Ole ole ole ole. Good goal

Quality free kick there from Lawrence, nice to see a wide player who can take a dead ball.

Quality freekick from Lawrence all right but think he has been shite overall. Little to get excited about there. Yet again central midfield two have been poor. Would like to see Gibson add bit of niggle to his game. For an Irish player under Trapp he is shit when they have the ball. Folan has probably been the one who looks most dangerous for us and Keogh has been okay too.

But its the exact game they should be at, at least one of them. I really can’t warm to the soccer team these days, but my mates who take a serious interest think Trapp is making a massive balls of it and our place in the table is not realistic into our general standing. Having watched only a handful of the games i would be slow to comment, anyone agree?

Irish Association footall is pants, to get anything out of them is an achievement.

Haven’t agreed with all his decisions but can’t really see how anyone could argue that Trapp hasn’t done very well. We have a distinctly average squad and yet our challenging the world champions for top spot. When Trapp took over we were a poor side who were poorly run. Now we are a well organised and highly determined side who are very close to getting to World Cup.

Anyway we have defended well in the main and out of the starters Westwood and Kelly have both been competent. Lawrence was busy but doesn’t look classy. St Ledger takes too many chances for me while we just haven’t got quality in central midfield. Best and O’Dea both looked good since coming on.

What about Nolan Lar? Thats the position we really need to get sorted before Italy.

your mates are tards which isnt really a surprise considering you are a mong- he has taken a team of journeymen to the verge of the world cup- cant argue with that

He lost some amount of ball tonight. O’Shea would be a better option at left back. But then that leaves us with no right back.

How did Gibson get on tonight Larry?

Would you say he is a better option to either Whelan or Andrews?
