The Irish Football Team Thread

Let's be honest all the credit Wales earned for that Euro 2016 display disappeared tonight with those tactics

 

I don't think you can judge a picture out of context but the question needs to be asked. Would be very disappointed in him if he was, Taylor can * off either way, he will be getting smashed off one of many Irish players in the Championship. He's lucky James McClean is in the Premiership.

 

Wouldn't like to think so bud but look at 2 of them. I can't explain what's funny at that time, other than knowing one of the oppos best player's is done?

 

Aye it looks terrible tbh.

 

I think it was more a panicky reaction from them than tactics. Ireland were quite aggressive (but fair) in the first half and did very well in preventing Wales from playing, and I dont think the Welsh liked it, so obviously at half time things were said and they definitely came out with the intent of getting stuck in.

Doesn't excuse challenges like Bales and Taylors. Particularly Taylors for me, genuinely one of the worst I have seen.

 

I've never went through Ledley before but still waiting for a valid excuse?

 

That tackle was an absolute shocker gutted for coleman man, I've suffered a double leg break before and looking at the pics that is most certainly a tib and fib fracture which could be career ending at his age.

 

Yup looks really bad.

 

Honestly bud, you reckon it was intended for 1 of them? Looked a clear tactic for me..

Sickening if that's what Ledley resorted too. Loved him here. Him, Ramsey, Bale and a couple other's went way ott..

 

Yup as Deebo said they got bullied in the first half, they then came out the second half not too but it got way out of control.

 

Disappointing..

 

Didn't watch the game but just seen the tackle there, absolutely horrid. Wish Coleman a speedy recovery.

 

Dirty Wales!

 

Clear as day tactic from the Welsh.

Ledley is smirking.

Absolute *.

 

Joe Ledley on Twitter;

"I didn't want to acknowledge the nonsense on here but to those who have wrongly interpreted & commented........."

"......on what my thoughts were at that moment in time need their heads testing."

".........My thoughts are with Seamus Coleman & I wish him a speedy road to recovery."

It does have a resemblance to the Muslim woman walking past the injured man an the bridge at Westminster. People are very quick to come out and attack someone for what they naturally think is happening.

But it's not as if he was going to admit to it. I still think it could have been a grimace. Smile and grimace slight into a mirror (like I've been doing, must look a right weird *) and they can be similar. I guess we will never know.

Can't believe this really. I'm not defending the tackle but it's a clear grimace as far as I can tell. Why the * would anyone smile? He isn't a * psychopath, he's a footballer.
& as you seem to be the expert on contextual facial expressions can you put to bed 500 years of debate by expert art historians & inform us as to what Monas doing?

 

Feel sorry for Ledley. Too many people jumping down his throat.

 

Any word from that * that did it?
