That's a staggeringly mediocre England side. How some of them get into an (allegedly) top international side is a mystery to me.

Was waiting to watch this and now I see it's not on UTV Ireland, what an absolute fúcking joke of a cúntin' channel :mad:

Live on ITV for those who don't know.

Francie Barrett

Sterling has been slaughtered in the press in the last few weeks, but I reckon he will have taken all the criticism to heart and will want to put in an excellent performance today. Have him for first goal scorer at 9/1.

Not sure why you're surprised. UTV Ireland is an Irish channel, totally separate to "regular" UTV. They would no more show an England qualifier than RTE or TV3 would. Why would they?

Honestly, it's an absolute joke. I just wish UTV Ireland would p!ss off and give back ITV.

Usually Setanta would take up the baton, but they're not showing it.

Anyway, c'mon England. I have money on them to win.

The fact it replaces ITV would be the major bigbear. You're right in what you say though.

Can you not get regular ITV/UTV?

Will I Amnt

Poor from Sterling, nice little chipped pass from Rooney.
Francie will be livid :pac:

Turtyturd

Sterling sterling'd it.

SlickRic

Hodgson hasn't seemed to be able to teach Sterling to finish either.

Dreadful attempt.

On UPC, ITV was on the main platform, but that's gone now to be replaced by UTV Ireland.

You can still get ITV if you have Sky in the Other Channels button.

monkey9

Sterling driving his price down with that miss.

Ah right, that's a bit sh*tty alright. I thought you could tune it in on UPC too.

Turtyturd

Ref playing well for England so far.

JohnDaniels

Rooney and Sterling linking up very well so far.

Francie Barrett

Sterling playing well in my opinion, every time he gets on the ball he looks threatening. If he can sort out the finishing, he'll be a big, big player.

Will I Amnt

Cracking save!!!

SlickRic

Henderson, Wilshere and Delph looks a very impressive midfield at times.

Sugarlumps

Standard of football is absolutely shocking. Two garbage teams with very average players.

Jones as RB over Clyne is weird.

Christ above . . . . :rolleyes:

Handanovic

Hart, Cahill, Henderson, Rooney, Smalling, Jones, Sterling, Gibbs

If that's average then you must find 90% of football damn well average.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Surely Clyne is a better option.

Sugarlumps

England like passing the ball to no real effect, having done so since the dawn of time. There a gutless team.

Boom get the fock in!

SlickRic

Terrible organisation at the back. Playing offside there is fúcking laughable.

adox

Great finish. Awful defending.

Will I Amnt

Timed that run to perfection, nice finish too.

blueser

What was Cahill thinking of?

Now, I rate Jones as a player, but as an attacking RB it's not even remotely close.

Very strange.

Slovenia's jersey looks something a tennis player would wear at Wimbledon.

I wouldn't be a fan of Jones in general. Honestly think Man U are better than that and I know he can be versatile, but CB is surely his best position.

Clyne is a better RB than Jones.

Francie Barrett

Townsend and Jones are offering nothing on the right.

Jones is good. He just seems to be pegged as someone who can covers multitude of positions.

If he was kept at CB and nothing else, I think we'd see how good he actually is on a more regular basis.

Sugarlumps

Walcott no doubt will save there blushes.

JohnDaniels

Need far better than Delph in that playmaker 10 role.

Shanotheslayer

Any reason Jags/Stones/Barkley/Clyne didn't play?

Yep; UTV/ITV. Not sure I'd bother if I were you; it's not the greatest example of "the beautiful game".

I have UPC - the channel that i have is UTV ireland and there's a show about dogs on atm??

Jones injured... quelle surprise.

Ah lads. Thread is barely 3 pages long. It's all been discussed already.

Will I Amnt

Clyne must not be fit.

You may be better off sticking with that, to be honest!

sky88

Henderson to right back while one of the best rbs in premier league last season in clyne sits on the bench, baffling decision.

England will go no were as long as hodge son is the manager

Headshot

Every time I see Townsend I ask myself how is he still in the PL and especially playing for the England

Will I Amnt

Good strike from Wilshere.

adox

Cracking strike.

Dozen Wicked Words

Not keen on England with red shorts. Navy blue would be the classic look.


Goal! Cracking effort from Wilshire
