Football 10/11: vs Italy

Posted on Jun 8, 2011 by NFB

An impressive result, but with the usual caveats that friendlies come with. A back and forth game. Ireland were lucky to snatch the first goal after a fairly lackluster opening 45 minutes, but they had improved immeasurably by the conclusion, especially … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs FYR Macedonia (Euro Qualifiers, Away)

Posted on Jun 5, 2011 by NFB

Again, not that impressive. There seems to be this growing divide among Irish national team followers. On the one hand, you have those who are delighted with how we’re doing and on the other, the ones who aren’t. I think … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Schalke CPL, Semi-Final, First Leg

Posted on Apr 27, 2011 by NFB

As a friend of mine put it last night “Looks like League Schalke turned up”. Seriously, that might have been the easiest Champions League Semi-Final game I’ve seen. I have no idea how Schalke got this far, but it can’t … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Fulham (home)

Posted on Apr 10, 2011 by NFB

Fulham have become somewhat of a boogey team for us over the course of the last few years, but that seems to be only at Craven Cottage. At home, they aren’t so much of  a problem and so it proved yesterday. It … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Arsenal (FA Cup)

Posted on Mar 13, 2011 by NFB

Interesting game, one that matches the pattern of the last few years between Manchester United and Arsenal. They play their passing game, press, have most of the possession. We play the defensive minded, counter-attacking game. We win. They lose. I really … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Sunderland (home)

Posted on Dec 28, 2010 by NFB

Really should have been a higher scoreline. United dominated, but the concern is that they failed to completely kill the game off within 20 minutes, taking only one of a staggering number of chances. It was a great team goal for … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: vs Wigan

Posted on Nov 21, 2010 by NFB

Interesting game. The two red cards, both deserved, didn’t quite finish it as a contest, but from the second half onwards, United never look in trouble. Wigan missed their chances in the first to have a big impact on the game. … Continue reading →

Football 10/11: Vs Tottenham

Posted on Oct 31, 2010 by NFB

First things first. I was impressed with the teams overall performance. Some weaknesses continue to be evident such as Nani’s lack of team ethic, Hernandez letting himself be bullied around. But no one had bad game. Van Der Sar pulled … Continue reading →
