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

lads

Lads tell me this cos I dont watch much Premiership. Is this Wes Holohan any use? He must be a real Chippy Brady on the ball with all the talk about him? He is hardly that good

This is a cultural issue, Irish people are generally straight up, we fight, we lose, we sometimes win. But we always want to take the fight. Italians are the exact opposite. They will cheat, hide, surrender and scam, we are just culturally incompatible. Gimme Brian clough (rip) , Harry rednap , or even Roy keane , at least they will go down fighting . I’d say if you ripped off that fuckers white surrender shirt he’d have a Mussolini tee shirt on underneath . Fuck off back to Italy sharpish gramps, and bounce the grand kids up and down on your lap, your have surrender in your blood and if you go now you’ll be well remembered but stay any longer and it won’t end well

That’s just crazy talk, Kid.

How did the singing go tonight lads? Did we win that?

It’s not arry

That makes no sense, Trapattoni is a winner and he is a person who will fight until the death, the resilience and defiance he has shown since he came into the Ireland job has been admirable and he has been vindicated by overachieving with such a poor squad.

he has over achieved in that he has arrived into a situation where he describes his relationship with Ireland as “we”. He is no more part of us or out heritage as the fucker who sells my chips every Saturday night, and he knows it. FFs imagine being "coach " of a side and having an 20 yo female next to you to take the heat. Fuck off back to Rome you has been, and when I look on you again let it be like a roman gladiator ,at leat they fouggt to the end, those men were of course , conscriped, chained and abused in true Italian fashion but at lest they had honour and fought showing it

Fuck that shit. I’m absolutely seething. Couldn’t even stomach going for a pint afterward.

Livid.

We could all see it coming from the 60th minute on.

Manuela 20?!!

i’d say his father was down in a trench in ww2-surrender monkey

Your father was probably down on a priest during WW2.

+1

Don’t know what to say really. They were comfortable on the ball, we weren’t and it showed in the end.

a woman doing a mans job , as i said, it’s cultural

all in all a decent result against a good strong Austrian team

Im happy with the result

You accept mediocrity, so no surprise there.

The midfield clearly needed supplementing after our initial decent spell after half time. Increasingly, they began to get players free to receive the ball between our midfield and defence right in that exact area where Alaba received possession before scoring. It was inexplicable that Trap left it so long to make a change (other than the forced St Ledger for Clark one) and, when he did make the sub, he positioned Green on the right and moved Walters forward. As a result, we retained the same 4-4-2 and it meant that we remained undermanned in midfield.

Ciaran Clark got done like he did for the first goal tonight for Aston Villa against Manchester City recently when Dzeko dispossessed him and set up Tevez. He also did the same thing in the first half in Sweden and was very nearly caught out.

I thought we were poor tonight. Not much to be positive about but I thought Long did well.

no im an optimist

isnt it strange that different people can take different views on the same event?

Its because we all place a subjvective view on things- My subjective view of things is more positive than yours- that didnt happen by accident-that happened by NLP and training my mind

THE MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY

Have you swallowed too much kangaroo spunk or something?

mediocrity? We had fucking mediocrity at HT. the fucking Italiano surendoro in the slacks couldn’t see it over the line. He fell in front of the German accent like the always did and like they always will do. He expected everybody to be delighted because in Italy if you draw these games it means you haven’t lost, and that olive growing , sun lounging , tax evading terroni are somehow equivalent to their northern European superiors. Of course if you are from a nation with some self worth presenting this as a result doesn’t have quite the same desired effect. Fuck off back to Italy quick you artifact of a world past
