    The BBC pundits love laying into their team don't they? Bring back The Apprentice? Bit harsh.

    Scoring a goal while captaining your country must be still a bit special, friendly or not, no?

    im sure its nice and all, but clearing his inner demons from missing what would have been winning penalty in the worlds biggest club competition, not quite. im sure he'll still be having many's the sleepless night.

    There was something wrong with Shearer's mic, they should have just left it off.

    They're going to show Bex's wonder goal from the weekend soon.

    Roll on August imo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Roll on September IMO

    (Ireland qualifiers)

    OPENROAD, if your not looking forward to a month of football, where you can see some great players in action, then I don't think you are a football fan. You support Arsenal, but I don't think you could like football.

    I think your support of Arsenal is class in some ways, so I'm not trying to be demeaning or anything but come on any football fan wants to watch the euros.

    I'm amazed the BBC didn't include Roobie Keane's equaliser against Chelsea as a goal of the season contender. That was a peach.

    Hope Arsenal sort signings out before the Euros, can keep an eye on them.

    Surely the goals nominated are the ones that won goals of the month throughout the season.

    Well we did get a bit of Murphy(via Reidy) in there.

    USA's 2nd half goalie has been heavily linked to Villa and only didnt sign in January due to work permit problems

    Yeah they were. Tuncay's volley was amazing.

    And Tevez's goal was a beautiful team goal.

    Rochembak's free > Ronaldo's one.

    But Ronaldo's little flick against Villa was the best in there.

    They really should change the cameras to the other side of Wembley, it looks like Tolka Park when Shels are playing Sporting Fingal over the far side with the amount of empty seats after half time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭thusspakeblixa


    That 1st half was AWFUL!
    Most entertainment was the goal of the season competition at half time.
    Rochemback ftw.
    And ye'd nearly miss Dunphy and Brady and their incessant bickering, the Beeb is poo.
    ''No Eamon, I take that as a personal insult'' :D

    Agreed cause the cameras focus on all the VIP seats.

    Lovely goal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Nice goal by Stevie there.

    Gwan England :D

    Great goal by Stevie G, great play by the substitute Barry.

    Maybe a taster for the pool next season.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Barry should be in that team every time they play imo.

    Hopefully Capello has the balls to pick him and not Lamps/Stevie.

    Have they a proper left winger on the bench?

    Oh, and a question about USA.

    Is Freddy Adu getting a look in at all.

    Wales one up against Iceland. :cool:

    Freddy Adu, he really went off the radar, he went to Benfica hasnt really promised what the hype surrounding warranted.

    ''He's just a black Graham Barrett''

    I really want to start a chant like that if USA ever play Ireland.
