  1. It is the craft that is missing Green_Tide_Rising in my honest opinion. Perhaps that is why Martin O'Neill prefers to go aerial more of the time to by-pass midfield due to the lack of cutting edge quality in there. I mean I can only go on the games against us and goals you have scored in this tournie and it almost entirely brute strength-based with very little attacking guile. Why that is you will probably know better. Are there any youngsters with more guile out there waiting in the wings not being given a chance? According to the RTE panel they were very damning and described the players coming through being like a 'black hole' as there was nothing. Even that panel weree swaying towards the view point that if Ireland don't qualify (looks unlikely now) that O'Neill won't be offered a contract.

    Nae craft? Hoolahan was running the show for them before MON explicably took him off.

  2. Don't understand why Strachan continually doesn't pick Bardsley. Much better option to cover left and right back than Whittaker.

    Also don't understand people dismissing Ireland s squad and bumming up ours. there is nothing between the teams as the game at Celtic Park showed. We just showed a bit of imagination which won us the game.

    The two squads are very evenly matched, but we won the game at Celtic park due to us being the better team that night.

  3. Right so the Irish squad is dreadful but the Scottish one is strong. Got it

    The two squads are not strong or dreadful but are relatively mediocre with the Irish,on paper, probably just shading it.
