Ireland Verus Italy - 10/11/09

Oh Jesus…

Excellent performance that.

No shame in drawing twice with Italy. Disappointing to lose the lead twice but you have to say we were very well organised and Trap, whatever the limitations of his tactics, has done very well to transform Staunton’s team into this.

Can I be noble enough to congratulate NCC… well done son, the better team drew on the night.

thanks Rocko - to be honest I hope to see your boys in S Africa too

A pity but fuck it a draw is better than a lot thought we would get. Good experience for the playoff clash.

Italy came for a draw- didnt get out of 2nd gear & got a draw- absolute brilliance by all concerned

Dunphy needs shooting

Dunphy is some boyo.

great effort from Traps Irish, disappointing lack of cynicism after St’s goal, they shoulda cut everything that moved down at the knee.

Dunphy watch:

"terrible

terrible performance…

shameful…

goals from set pieces…

whistles from the crowd…

not one cohesive pass…

dreadful

as bad as any performance in this group."

And he’s finished for the time being. What a complete moron.

very true - how they didnt kill the game off is shocking -

The Andy Reid routine again.

Give us a fucking break.

“worst Italian team ever…”

(ignoring the fact they’re world cup champions)

"if we had Andy Reid in there…

Rowlands playing in the Championship…

Kevin Doyle should never have been hauled off (eh why not Eamonn)"

He’s worse than KIB Man at this stage.

"we’ve got top players… (mentions Doyle)

Lee Carsley… (God love the senile fucker!)

Andy Reid…"

"football people crying… real football people

heartbreaking…

real outstanding footballers…

going to keep talking about Andy Reid. The vindictiveness of Trapattoni… all the hurt being piled on Andy Reid is unjust.

(calls Graeme Souness Liam!)!

:D:

Did he say Lee Carsley? Dunphy still seems to think he’s in touch with the common man.

He did yeah. Bless.

As an Italian you may not have seen much of Ireland playing but this is a problem we’ve had for a while. Still its a decent result considering all thats gone before, just a shame they couldn’t have finished the job when the opportunity was there. When a draw feels like a defeat…Well done to the players and the management, we put the fear of God into the World Champions. Roll on the draw and some more Trap luck.

Andy Reid = Ireland’s Saviour

“real football people… bandwagon… Charlton era… great people in that team… but there’s one real injustice being done and that’s Andy Reid…”

Souness talking a tiny bit of sense but drowned out.
