Anyone care about ROI vs England?

What a crock of shit

 

[London Irish]

That has to go down as a minor triumph with those dinosaurs O'Neill and Keane in charge - well done Ireland

Didn't even know it was being played until this morning. Enjoying the sunshine in the garden.

 

[Mowgli37]

Wish I'd missed that now.

We always look shit in friendlies though, won't read too much into it.

 

[Icy Gull]

Corrected for you

 

[SweatyMexican]

Well that was a waste of time, and a waste of a perfectly good cider. Not exactly the greatest game of football.

 

[gregbrighton]

Can't be bothered with this match.

 

[Dolph Ins]

I managed to neck 4 pints whilst watching it on the outside screen at the local.. so not a complete waste of time. Hang on do I have a drink problem?

England u20 on B.T. sport with Walton in goal now might be better.

3rd/4th play off.

 

[Postman Pat]

England 1-0 down. U.S.A. penalty. 7 mins gone.....

1-1.....9 mins....

Do you mean the full team or the u20??

Walton subbed at half-time. Still 1-1.

 

[Hamilton]

I didn't even know England were playing. Shows how disinterested I am in all this.

Had to laugh when I saw it was a bore draw.

Why don't they just pack up and leave us all alone for a summer. Bloody football.

 

[Wilko]

Only watched the 2nd half, am I the only one who thought we looked ok? Far superior to Ireland, controlled possession and looked like the only team who would score.

 

[dangull]

I guess the most important part of this match is, was it was played in a nice friendly spirit between the players and the fans, compared the last previous fixture.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Twas Boring

 

[alfredmizen]

Well - we've not lost this fixture for more than 30 years so it's a proud record for a 2nd/3rd tier nation to defend

Back then I would have been supporting England, which was an obvious way to cheek your old man

if you knew who he was.

Walton subbed at half-time. Still 1-1.

Was it cos of his performance being not so good or just to try another keeper.

They get 4 subs in the Toulon tournament, so I believe it was to give the other keeper some minutes. Certainly didn't have a great deal to do in the game other than face the penalty and claim some crosses.
