Match Day Thread Rep Of Ireland v England

Only because the ref is as poor as the game. Terrible challenge.

 

They're well up for it alright, they're just playing bad. They're not being allowed play either.

Sh*t game though

 

Rooney must think he's at a World Cup. Useless.

 

Interesting. Handball given against Jones even though it clearly wasn't deliberate. Shades of last night....

 

Wrongly.

 

Zzzzzzzz.....

 

30 mins to go - let's see what Charlie has to offer Roy?

 

Are the England subs even warming up?

 

O'Shea is finished as a player. Rio Ferdinand Mk 2

 

What is the point of those subs? Surely Charlie or Vardy should've been on to see how they handle the big stage...Woy already knows what Townsend n Barclay can do

 

I now remember why I gave up watching friendlies.

 

But how it is officiated in hundreds of games every week. Those are always given.

 

Some difference in the benches. Andy Townsend & Barclay on for England...............A Bournemouth player on for Ireland.

England will turn the screw now with that strength in depth for the last 20 minutes.

(Vardy warming up)

 

Bournemouth player has just had an effort on goal. At least he tried I guess

(Cahill on with Vardy)

 

Bournemouth player in a great position there again and made a mess of it

 

Shay Given seems a more dodgy keeper than Westwood?

 

Now Walcott! That's such a strong bench to empty. Can see England winning this with such quality coming on & Ireland with nothing on their bench.

 

What's the point of calling Austin up and not giving him game time in a friendly? If he's not played today, he definitely won't get played next week.

 

Pointless England! Same old same old. Never try out new players just stick to the usual failures. Gutted for Charlie. He has scored more goals than all of those players last season but doesn't get a run out.
Roy will be another failure I'm afraid.

 

Possibly the worse match I've ever seen
