Subject: Ireland Vs...

good to see the U21's making headway into the squad in future (potentially)

didnt know any of the defenders were going to make it!

those 3 wingers are great alright :)
im always nit picking between marsh and mcguinness...

good update on changes :)

3:2......

Lookin at the stats, looks like a close match

They were the better team. I don't think the formation was bad but it failed due to the players. It was a mistake to put Corscadden in, he's not ready to play in the centre yet. Holt was utterly abysmal, worst performance I've ever seen from him. Only Dean and Curley performed, the subs were all anonymous.

cards..cards..cards... am assuming that red card in 19th minute had a bearing on the result since their winger had 3 assists...
result looks a bit biased considering the stats :/

That was the most bizarre anaemic performance I've seen as Ireland manager. The players looked like they couldn't be bothered in comparison to Russia and Colbert, who was the key player, did absolutely nothing he was supposed to.

Slovensko today, it could be nasty given the performance of last week.

5-0 down after 25 minutes, the defence might as well not be there, they're that useless.

looks like our NT ranking is being put in perspective lately :(

We're being badly hit by form at the moment. The average level is OK but that's because everyone is mid-level. Only had 1 divine form player out this morning and the defence is suffering badly for it. I expected to lose against Slovensko but I was hoping they wouldn't just walk through the defence like that. It's not like they were even badly positioned.

i had the same against chile..defence terrible form :/
still hit 52 rating or somthing..
next season looks pretty decent though, once we get our keeper improved a bit :)

Island 0-4 Ireland

Needed a good result and got it against a team that has beaten Belgium, Canada and Colombia recently.

Do the elections start again tomorrow?

No, they start next week.

jesus if they could only hit the target up front!
and they get one opportunity, and score.. 4 shots theyve had so far, all on target for the goal

EDIT: defence was sound, strikers up front were man marked pretty well and any opportunities they got, a lot were off target...
loved the pyramid tactic :)

Bulgaria 1-0 Ireland

Total f**kng joke of a game. That's the 2nd time we've outplayed them this season and lost because our players are performing like retards. That pretty much summed up the entire season.

just wasted opportunities up front.. possession dominated, just in the final third we were lacking...
deserved a win mate,
