DaveyDenoon Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Ireland doing ok without being brilliant (whatever that bawbag Shearer says!) but Sweden are absolutely honking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that Sweden hump them. I fear though that the awful O'Neil inspired hoofball will be enough to get them a point against a fairly average Swedish team. Yessssss come on Sweden !!

And he done feck all in the last euros as well. 3 x humpings they got in 2012 was it no? At the end of the day we could have picked him these last 10 years and he would have played well in a handful of games and wouldn't really have improved us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hardly a surprise that it finished up a draw. Two pretty average teams, you've got to imagine that one of them will be leaving after the group stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave78 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I watched Ireland's qualifier in Georgia. It was McGeady that dug them out of a hole with 2 goals, one a bit special. RoI only deserved a draw, but McGeady is a matchwinner on this day. We could have done with him last september Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â We could do with a few players who can do it against average or even pretty pish opposition. I don't think he would have made much difference though.

weekevie04 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Dave, what do you think of RTE and 3's coverage? I have been watching quite a few games at work via them, and find them a much more informative and better watch than anything the 'British' pundits offer on UK tv. I have enjoyed Petit and Bilic so far. Keith Andrews has been an excellent co-commentator and certainly knew a lot about the non UK based players in both the UKR-GER and ENG-RUS game. Thought the game today was quite poor. Surprised to see such a poor Swedish side. First touches' awful, poor passing - from both sides. Heard good things about Granqvist, but he looked an absolute carthorse today. Zlatan wasn't exactly great either he seemed to just wrestle about before giving the ball away. Olsson played well after a shaky start, and Guidetti actually looking not bad when he came on. Ireland played quite well. Whilst it isn't that attractive to watch. It is effective, and they had Sweden on the ropes for long periods of the game. Fair dues to MON too for trying to go for the win. We'll see what happens, but possibly both sides could end up with 1pt and whoever is third one of the worst ones who does not advance. Then again, I wouldn't bet against the Irish getting a result against Belgium or Italy, the Irish are a very hard-working team who have the balls - some may say luck, I wouldn't - to grind out fantastic results against big teams. Seen Sweden in a few qualifiers, and didn't impress. Humped by Austria, although they did look good last week against Wales B team in a friendly. The group could go either way really. Belgium should be strong enough on paper to qualify, but I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
