I see Alan O'Brien's been called up.

did they allow nolan to play for irland?
cos i would love to see him fill keanes void.
and any tottenham fans how do you rate terry dixon ive heard is good but i've never seen him in action

He's actually a forward. Only 16 years old. Could be the new Robbie Keane, so were told.

@ Keano

Terry Dixon is an exciting prospect - apparently the best home-grown player since Ledley King.

Cunts!!!

I hope it is just a precaution with the Wigan game in mind.

Stupid game
Holland doesn't have Sneijder so Ireland much win now. Sneijder is our only WC player.

WC = Waddling Clown ?

No no no, WC=World Class. You mean. One of the best.

Surely, You must agree on that one.

..............given

finnan...o'brien..dunne...harte

mc'geady..o'shea..ireland...duff

...........morrison..doyle

but it won't be anything like this

It's a pity many Irish players called off! But for Holland it will be a good test how the new youngsters presents themselves...

European Champions: Huntelaar, Emanuelson, schaars!

and Theo Janssen...

If the coach thinks so.

Sneijder is not World Class yet...

come on holland do the paddy bastards

What's wrong with the Boys in Green? The Irish supporters are the Dutch most favourite supporters. Because of history since 1988 EC; WC 1990; WC 1994; EC qualies 1996; ...... and WC qualies 2002

ricardo i hate the irish cos everybody says how jolly they are when in fact they are the most racist nation going

Why Racist?

HUNTELAAR STARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Robben the topscorer.

First yellow Landzaat.

Quickly turned over to see the worst shot ever by Clinton Morrison.

Nothing changes.

Corners show the proof that Sneijder may never take them ever again.

KLAAAAAAAAAAAS JAAAAAAAN HUUUUUUUUUUNTELAAR

The Irish have been absolutely terrible at defending set pieces. They've allowed a couple of free headers from corners, and Robben should have scored when no one marked him from van Persie's freekick.

Schaars looking pretty solid btw. Happy with his performance so far.

Landzaat injured. Looks like a broken wrist(sp?). De Jong is gonna replace him.

EDIT: false alarm.

And that's 2-0 by Robben with a briljant assist by Huntelaar.

Huge mistake by Ireland neverthless.
