Ireland vs England Build Up thread

[FrankMunro-371]

A good save by Hart, but the referee gives a goal kick.

 

[Dinowolf]

Finally, a shot on goal. By ROI. 27 mins gone.

Decent start from us but we are letting England back into it, Sterling and Rooney looking lively

Sterling and Rooney have been awful. Given the ball away every time they have got it.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

A good chance for Murphy. He really should at least have put the header on target.

 

[Jack Regan]

Awful game of football. Really awful.

 

[Dinowolf]

England's first shot. 43 mins

Rooney has looked like a pub footballer today, embarrassingly bad.

His touches are awful, i guess he's been sitting around doing nothing since the season ended but i'm not sure that's an excuse.

Rooney has looked like a pub footballer today, embarrassingly bad.

The finest example of a "on the beach" performance.

 

[Nando]

He's been that way for the past couple of months.

 

[Jolemai]

Ireland are about to bring Given on? Eh?

 

[Jolemai]

How long has Townshend got left on I TV?

Wasn't it mentioned on this very forum that Townsend is off soon as there's little to no football on ITV from next season?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

The atmosphere is completely dead. The game isn't helping....

How has Vardy managed to get on the pitch ahead of Austin?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Can see at least 3 Wolves/England flags behind the goal, fair play to them

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

How has Vardy managed to get on the pitch ahead of Austin?

I can imagine Vardy with his deluxe Andy Keogh style looks much better in training than Austin does, given that the latter just scores goals and doesn't really do anything else. However I know which one I'd rather see in an England shirt.
