IRELAND VS ESTONIA!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[Hector Grey]

andrews is at ipswich. he's muck. overpromoted. but clearly he does as he's told. coleman for me hasn't the dscipline to play n a trapatoni midfield. neither does mccarthy, and i know that sounds fucking daft, but that's the way he rolls. as a winger, well, he's behind mcgeady, duff, hunt, even lawrence. i suspect that cox will play, because he drops back. he's a decent technical player, can control the ball and looks for a pass, which is alien to us, weird to see. walters should give the estonians a scare by barging into them. plus he'll have a mo, won't he. they'll think he's a gay, easterns are like that.

there's zero chance that trap is going to do anything out of the ordinary for the away leg.

jesus, we could actually qualify for this yoke. it doesn't feel right, somehow.

 

[washingcattle]

It feels totally right. We're all unhappy and bitching about our own because they're not good enough. It couldn't be any more irish.

Hang on a second - I never said anything of the sort!

I'm delighted with the way the Irish squad is fleshing out, and we can always moan about selections, but I'm a pragmatist and will support any dire shit formation and style that gets us to Poland.

 

[Cormcolash]

I'd have Fahey ahead of Andrews any day of the week. Andrews is fucking grim, even when he does okay defensively.

 

[Jerry Twig]

I would definitely have Fahey instead of Andrews

Ah C'mon now.

i'd have cormcolash ahead of andrews, personally. i'd have eamonn andrews. i'd play with ten men. i'd have a jar of aids on the pitch instead of andrews.

 

[Cormcolash]

I'd have Paddy ahead of Whelan, then we'd have a midfield that would be the opposite of our current one - always wanting the ball, and never passing

And Meehan ahead of McGeady too

I LOLed in the office at jar of aids. Good thing no one else has shown up for work.

 

[coast to coast]

Regarding fantasy formations, I'm all for keeping the one we have, just changing around a few of the players in the system. And I'm not being unrealistic, I just mean players that Trap has used before and hasn't fallen out with, e.g. Fahey, Coleman, Lawrence. And not e.g. Paul Green, Caleb Folan.

 

[Hector Grey]

i think a major worry is keane's fitness: what if he's fit enough to play? we're fucked.

 

[washingcattle]

You're right having our top scorer ever and the lad that scored a third of our goals in qualifying so far fit for such a vital match would be a major blow.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Squad: Given, Westwood, Forde, O'Shea, Kelly, Ward, Dunne, St. Ledger, O'Dea, McShane, Whelan, McCarthy, Coleman, Andrews, Fahey, Gibson, Keogh, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, Lawrence, Keane, Doyle, Long, Walters, Cox.

No Killer (still injured or permanently out now?), Delaney (injured I think) or jar of AIDS, Beast apparently to step in if Long is out, and McShane and Keogh and Gibson (injured too) still hanging around like a bad smell.

he's looked woeful lately, doesn't look like he's fit. slowed the game down against andorra, looked tired against armenia. he looks past it, frankly.

as for the squad, totally predicable. he likes to show loyaty to the lads. how cox got in there i'll never know.

Anyone else would be given the benefit of the doubt after a couple of middling-to-poor performances. Not Robbie.
One more, it's set up for him to stick it to the bastards. He's sending us to the Euros.

 

[Hector Grey]

no one else can suck the life out of a performance with quite as much aplomb as robbie.

still, if there's a chance, he'll put it away. at least, he fucking better.

 

[Cormcolash]

WE'RE FUCKED LADS!!!

 

[snakybus]

who's jar of AIDS haha
