Sweden v Ireland & Ireland v Austria - International Football Double Header

You’d miss Glen Whelan all the same.

Really need to get back passing the ball again, Walters might not see much more of this game at this rate.

You always fear we’ll do something daft at the back.

We lack a bit of quality but you can’t fault any of them for effort so far. Just get to half time now.

Did the fucking cunts not give us the ball back there?!

That Ollson lad is a horrible cunt.

That Olsson seems like a grade A cunt.

Come on…

Jaysus McClean.

Safari so good, really.

The game is there for us to win. Trap will probably keep the team the same and hope for a 0-0

Stephen Reid mentioned this morning there might be a bit of digging between Ollson and Long, he wasn’t wrong. I’ll take that first half on the whole.

We have these cunts!

Pressing game really suiting ireland.Swedes struggling to get out of their own half of the field.Walters not working out.mclean and Coleman dangerous down the wings.forde doing well.

This game is there for the taking.maybe a switch between long and walters may give the team more balance.

Remember Jaap Shtum.

Wahey. I’ve had Surfin Safari by The Beach Boys in my head for the entire first half.

Excellent start to the game, they had more of it in the last 15 mins. McClean and McCarthy started particularly well. Full backs getting forward well too. The only possible explanation for the way we started is that the brave players stood up to the evil, senile old manager and told him that we were going to pass the ball well and press hard no matter what he wanted.

Happy with that, Keane not in it but not his fault, the hoofing forward to the two small men is a typically retarded thing to do.

Pressing them high is working well. We’ll need to take a half chance tonight I feel haven’t really worked a decent opening

Very happy with that so far. He’s no world beater but McCarthy has to start every game for us, he is well able to play when the manager allows him.

Just feels inevitable we’ll get hit by a sucker punch. Long will cause them problems if we can get the ball to him in the right areas.

It’s ridiculous they’re allowed in this. They should have to pre-qualify.

Indeedin I do. Georges grá for the local pronunciation isn’t exclusively a Scandinavian thing. I’m sure there are lots more examples, I just can’t think of them at the moment.

He took great pride in his pronunciation of Romanian,Bulgarian and the Balkan players as well.

George is one of those lads who calls that Belgian lad at Chelsea player “Azaaaaaaar”.

how come people are so happy with our performance and yet we have not managed a shot on goal?

Our final ball has been poor.
