old habit for me - my mother always hushes us after goals in case they're offside.
so happy

ireland actually having more possession than i thought they would

This has the air of an FA Cup classic, Ireland underdogging it like no-one's business. Vedran Corluka is actually going to start crying in a minute, isn't he?

I am enjoying this demonstration of HOW THEY CELEBRATE IN IRELAND.

Tydlesley is in such patronising full flow you wonder if he turned up in a comedy leprechaun's outfit.

Now, I know Peter Drury's not the most enthralling commentary box presence. But that's just rude.

have just been informed that italy/spain/ireland/croatia are the 'group of debt'it would have been if Greece were in instead of Croatia.
Instead we're merely the Pope's favourites.

Is it Drury? I turned on late...

srna's delivery has been crap so far. hit the first man at least 3 times.

uhm that looked like offside

Came off an Irish defender.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah was offside. Was totally inevitable though.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
really? I'm not watching unfortunately but normally I think of Srna as one of the best crossers around. xps
― boxall, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
he was offside when the ball was first played in and i'd say he gained advantage from it
― 'Last Moments Robot' Comforts You To Death (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
He was offside when Modric(?) played it in though
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:31 (eleven years ago) link
not quite a defending masterclass, this game

wouldn't call that offside

I just interviewed the linesman who had to call that a week ago about the Euro's, he's from around here.

croatia have been good last 20 mins, modric has moved further up the pitch

That aggressive high-fiving from the Croatian subs was a bit naff.
I think Tyldesley must be stationed in Ukraine - this is Drury's second commentary of the tournament. Clive's probably getting wheeled out for England with, for me, Andy Townsend, to be fair. Trying to think who ITV's fourth commentator will be - they've drafted in Jon Champion, but he was on earlier.
Will say this for them, though - the one thing BBC clearly have over them this tournament is the option to switch to 5 Live commentary on red button. And even then, you've still got a better-than average chance of Alan Green.
― William Bloody Swygart, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link
Ireland clearly have one attacking tactic and one dour one, and we switched after equalising, for no sensible reason whatsoever.

I don't think I've ever read an interview with a linesman before, sounds like Frost/Nixon

you'll need to do a follow-up on that one now LBI
― Ludo, Sunday, 10 June 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
Ah no, it wasn't offside; I didn't realise there'd been about three Irish touches, I thought it was a straight deflection.

Is Chris Kamara in every advert nowadays?

his fees are probably quite reasonable.

Irish tv pointing to a v subtle foul on ward for the second goal. Maybe a case to be made.
