Home Nations 'Celtic Cup'

[Stuka]

Shane Long didn't look too up for it either, one or two attacking plays but somewhat uninspired performance.

he looked full of himself and was going through the motions

As Handsome Man says it was not a good night for Reading players. There have been some dire performances by Wales over the years and last nights may actually have been the worst. Playing keepball and passing sideways and backwards when 3-0 down was incredibly feeble.
HRK did ok in the first half. Church was quiet and looked desperately short of pace. Long looked clumsy and his passing was poor.

Good summary.

[Mr Angry]

I only watched the first half and HRK did several positive things, he could have been complete oxf*rd in the second half though, but he should have had a penalty. Church though was his usual self, needs to sort his head out.

If you only watched the first half, you wouldn't have seen Shane's performance as he came on at half time, yet on another thread in UR&G you were able to give an opinion as to how he played.

Nice.

Not according to Snowball, Zac and Ideal; apparantly Shane was a genius - especially his fantastic dummy to set up Duff for the second goal.

[The whole year inn]

Even if this island pooled its best XI and played under a unified flag it would still be nowhere near the required standard to challenge for anything worthwhile

This tournament has to be amongst the most pointless ever

Never heard of highlights?

You'll actually notice I never gave an opinion on how Shane played at all.

Never said Shane was a genius, and everyone thought Shane dummied it, except apparently you.

No he didn't. He was quite, quite awful. Failed to beat his man once, he looked like the black Michael Meaker.

oxf*rd off, Meaks was a legend.

I must have imagined it

[Wax Jacket]

he ran a bit fast in the defensive part of the Irish pitch

as regards actually kicking a football he did nothing

[PEARCEY]

^ I didn't think Long dummied the ball and reckon he just missed it.
