Euro 2012 - Day 3 - Spain/Italy & Ireland/Croatia

[Oncy]

Really good match. Technically not the best like but great passion and energy.

 

[gkmacca]

Duff's providing a masterclass in how not to pass the ball in defence!

 

[OLD_Lewy]

ireland under some pressure here

 

[RedZeppelin III]

i think ireland need half time , they're way too open .

 

[themn]

Balls.

 

[livvy145]

Whoops

 

[OLD_Lewy]

shit defending that, which is a shame cause theyve been defending well so far

 

[Cerberus]

That was only a matter of time. Constantly giving the ball away, giving modric space, constantly inviting pressure. Oh well.

 

[Athens]

Balls.

 

[aquaman4]

offside

 

[hmmmmm1]

Thought Ireland are meant to be good defensively, another mistake,another goal

 

[the count]

Croatia aren't up to much but they are better than we are

 

[gene hughes]

The Irish players are not very good.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Ward looks overawed

 

[livvy145]

offside

Na, an Irish player played it to him. Ward, I think.

 

[nealmac]

No, it was offside.

 

[gkmacca]

Where's the whistle when you need it???

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

No, it was offside.

No it wasn't, an Irish player played the ball to him.

 

[livvy145]

No, it was offside.

Gives a fuck. Won my overs bet.

 

[Fabio]

No, it was offside.

Depends on the phase of play. Initially yes, but jelly wasn't involved. When ward flapped and passed it to jelly, he was fine.

 

[Sunny]

Looked offside to me. Jelavic was miles offside when ball was originally played

 

[Sunny]

Depends on the phase of play. Initially yes, but jelly wasn't involved. When ward flapped and passed it to jelly, he was fine.

Stupid rule. If he's in the box like that he's involved...

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Aaaaah....I missed the first passage of play.

 

[Fabio]

Stupid rule. If he's in the box like that he's involved...

Yup. I was irate when kluivert scored one taking the piss with phases of play like that against us for the toon.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

he was offside from modric's original shot but who knows under today's rules if that matters or what phase of the play it was when it finally came to him blah , blah .Pretty shite defending from that ward lad . But It was a nice quick finish when it came to him in fairness , i wonder if kenny did want him in january but wasn't allowed .

ireland seemed a little too hyped up , weren't keeping a decent shape or disciplined .

 

[gene hughes]

Ireland were all over the place. Sadly they just don't have the players for this level, unlike the entire 70s, 80s and 90s.

 

[livvy145]

*Looks at winnings*

Still doesn't give a shit

 

[the count]

Ward was fouled while trying to clear it.

 

[Cerberus]

Ward should fuck off back to dalymount he looks way out of his depth. Bring long on for that somersaulting cunt and all.

 

[gkmacca]

It's a pity Ireland haven't got a bit more pace up front because Croatia are leaving plenty of room to attack.
