Can't really argue with any of that.
Ireland vs England, June 7th 2015 (International Friendly)
- Thread starter unchanged_lineup
- Start date
Scholes thinks Jones not clever enough to be a CB, against decent strikers he gets caught out. That RB is his best position.
Well I'll be on stand by to quote in case your prediction goes tits up.
But Jones feels that CB is his best position .And he should know.
Ridiculous the way they keep moving Jones around. It's a friendly, give Clyne the minutes.
A lot of people think they are great on Karaoke, but they aren't. I think he is better at CB too but not top notch.
The England squad really is awful now. Rooney is the only player even remotely close to being world class.
Yeh he took a bit of a hammering from Scholes and Wright there.
Sigh, I forgot this tosh was on... Fine, England. I'll watch.
Rooney thinks the #10 is his best position and he's wrong.
Jesus, how old is the Irish president!
I think you're being a bit unfair on Vardy there
.Is this on tv?
Tis on Setanta here. Any messing in the city so far or all quiet?
ITV.
It all depends on your definition, I suppose, but when Hart is on form, I'd not be able to name ten keepers ahead of him. He's not at that Neuer/DDG/Courtois level, but he's still a solid keeper.
Oh, and I hate this stupid anthem.
Did Rooney really have to introduce all the players to the Irish President? Nice touch, but it made it seem like he wouldn't know any of them. It's only Ireland, not some tribe from the Sahara desert.
Hilarious that the players walked out to the theme from The Avengers.

Commentators totally ignore the whistling durng the anthems, probably for the best.
Previous generations apparently littered with world class players haven't exactly achieved anything. Not always about a glittering collection of individuals.
Hart is a solid keeper, but not one of the worlds best imo. Rooney is similar if i'm being honest, he has too many lulls in form to be considered the creme de la creme.
Do they not always do that? They definitely do it every time with the rugby.Did Rooney really have to introduce all the players to the Irish President? Nice touch, but it made it seem like he wouldn't know any of them. It's only Ireland, not some tribe from the Sahara desert.

They never won anything but they did come close. I don't see this English team getting anywhere near to a Quarter final.
That's fair.
Just turned it on - how bad was it?
I think Spurs walking out to The Phantom Menace final fight music is the funniest.Did Rooney really have to introduce all the players to the Irish President? Nice touch, but it made it seem like he wouldn't know any of them. It's only Ireland, not some tribe from the Sahara desert.

Literally just found out this was on

This isn't our best team tbf and we do have some very promising young players.
Spain aside, international football can be like this in that teams aren't made up of world class players. Providing you have a couple dotted about you're ok.
anyone can PM me a decent river if they want
I've heard much worse. You'll never totally weed out the bellends though.
They're at least 2/3 years away though but I do agree, they look more promising than the last few generations.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Like I said, nice touch, it just seemed a little strange. Probably sounded strange too when Rooney forgot who everyone was.
Ermmmm this is ermmm, Messi, no the Scouse Messi, errmm no Lallana, that's it.
I know it's only a friendly but the atmosphere seems a bit flat so far.
Ireland should not be allowed to play in green. It's like fecking camoflage!
Nice cross from Brady.
Hart flapping.
6'5 Joe Hart isn't the biggest in terms of height according to Townsend.
I have Irish ancestry (though I've never been to Ireland) so all I can say is: howay the lads!
lol
lol
I feel it's my right as a Irishman to point out we weren't booing but saying 'Boo-urns' instead.
