We need to realise that passing the ball around isnāt unambitious. Got a little bit panicked when things werenāt going great and forced far too many passes with the back four trying to play lads in when there were easier balls on.
Lovely little move there with the Celts combining well for a great goal.
Go on Robbie.
Brilliant passing there for that goal superbly finished by Keane, fair fooks. Thatās what we wanna see
Thatās 44 now-good finish.
Just cos heās scored a rake a goals doesnāt mean I should automatically like him does it. Maybe itās not shown on TV but Iāve been to a load of the games and heās often a lazy, cowardly and whiney individual and I just find that frustrating to watch in a player. Keep scoring goals by all means but I just donāt like him.
44 goals now for Robbie Keane and he is still only 30.
Our best ever striker without a shadow of a doubt, and one of our best ever players.
To Robbie.
The general ball control has been letting them down. How many times has Ronnie mentioned the ball getting lost under feet or getting away from themā¦

Would you rather he didnt play and we were shite?
I really donāt agree that heās lazy. He works an awful lot harder than most strikers, shows for the ball incessantly and puts the defenders under pressure when they have it.
Heās a cracking player and thereās fuck all reason for people not to like him that I can see. But a fair chunk of the media and a fair chunk of the soccer watching populace seem to have a dislike for him. Beats me.
You can see that Robbie is buzzing out there tonight. After 12 years and 43 goals, and he still is closing down opposition strikers and genuinely looks like he is delighted to be captaining his country.
Compare that to the likes of Rooney, or most money driven retiring at 30 internationals.
The man is a legend.
Jaysus this referee is a disgrace.
Ah here, ref, for fuckās sake.
Iād rather he didnāt play and someone else had his amount of goals alright 
Problem is we donāt have many choices for strikers over the years. As a main striker heās bound to get a good rake of goals, heās eclipsed what is to be expected alright. Fair dues to him but I donāt like him as a player is all.
Doyle played for that. He actually was using the old gaelic football trick of grabbing your mans arm and pulling him on top of you.
Ok Iāll take Whiney and cowardly then
Andoraās version of Stephen Ireland coming on, Javier Andora. At least he turned up I suppose.
I wonder how his grannies are.
Jesus christ McGeady actually gets worse every game I see him play, he would be out muscles by a newborn baby and he has overran at least 10 balls tonight.
Thought he was excellent in the first half but looks to have tired completely.
Yeah heās all out of energy now. Sure his first game of the season was the Armenia one at the weekend.
Donāt forget his role in the second goal too though.
