    Really positive first half.

    Good balance to the side.

    Are you sure it wasn't Brian Moore doing the Big Match? They're both bald.

    Haha.

    If you go on YouTube and search for Big match Terry Mancini, you'll find it.
    He started a game for QPR wearing a blonde wig, and tossed it into the crowd after a couple of minutes. Best move of the game.

    I just read about Terry on Wikipedia.
    Indeed he did present 'The Big Match' in the 70's and won 5 caps for Ireland though he didn't even recognize Amhran na Bhfiann.

    It's only 8 or 9 months since we were found out badly in Euro 2012.
    Look at the difference with our play. This is a completely different team.
    This is the team most of us wanted to see in Poland, but Trap played the loyalty card and we got hammered.
    What might have been?

    He is the alleged utterer of the line "the ir anthem is a bit long"....

    ."Shh Terry. That's OUR anthem"

    Fewer bodies in the middle made Whelan and Andrews look like mugs. They were never going to be able to compete against 3 proficient midfielders.

    This is far from our best 11 but the set up looks right. They have dropped a bit deep now this last wee while though.

    David Forde oldest ever competitive debutant at 33.

    Is it time for Trap to make a few changes?

    I dunno. It looks like they are coming on to us a bit more. They look a bit faster too all of a sudden. Anything to push them up a bit.

    Wesley for Robbie.

    That ain't such a bad move. Robbie has done really well.

    Keogh for McClean.

    I don't know why tbh. Maybe James has a tweet to attend to? Perhaps the last couple of tasty challenges he stuck in made him liable for a booking.

    Ronnie Whelan goes for James McCarthy as motm.

    Probably about right. I would say that too. Good showings from the lads who Trap seems to have problems with.

    Nice point that was. Could be very valuable.

    Indeed.

    A really good show there. We aren't a great side but we put on a good performance there. Really pleasing to see us play like that.
