V Shamrock Rovers

[Josef Svejk]

A chance to tap McLaughlin up for the Republic national team...

[Red Phoenix]

Season starts here, lads

 

We go again!

[milky]

Liverpool squad in full: Agger, Allen, Aspas, Borini, Brannagan, Coady, Coutinho, Dunn, Ibe, Jones, Kelly, Lussey, McLaughlin, Paez, Peterson, Lucas, Randall, Skrtel, Smith, Trickett Smith, Teixeira, Ward, Williams.

 

Fuck sake, big risk there. Gonna listen to the game on radio while wearing the same crusty undies I have all year, not gonna jinx it.

 

Shitting myself now.

[Pidge]

So... Jones, Smith, Agger, Skrtel, McLaughlin, Coady, Allen, Lucas, Coutinho, Borini and Ibe?

[s(k)aturation]

Most friendlies are awful to watch.

 

The friendly, that ensued after 95,000 people sang YNWA in Melbourne last July, was shite.

 

But I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

 

Sometimes what you want out of football isn't exclusively the football.

[alles ist gut]

Confirmed team :

 

Brad Jones; McLaughlin, Kelly, Paez, Brad Smith; Coady, Lucas, Allen; Ibe, Borini, Iago Aspas.

 

Hope no-one's had a bet on us...

[s(k)aturation]

We'll get snotted

 

Hope we get beat.

[Trucker Paddy]

Rovers 9/1 in bookies, just saying like

[moof]

New kit looks class

[alles ist gut]

At the risk of being seen to say something positive, I like the goalkeeper kit.

[Tj hooker]

Rovers 9/1 in bookies, just saying like

Can see why

[alles ist gut]

I also like a bit of running fast with the ball & scoring.

[Dr Nowt]

Fabiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.......oh.

[Guest LFD]

Borini has to finish that.

[Sut]

Not a bad save that.

[alles ist gut]

Good save by the skipper there.

[Pidge]

No... he isn't. Is it three at the back then?

 

Just leaving work. If aspas does well it's going to fuck over the ressies as thats an awful point of comparison. "As impressive as aspas"...

[Dr Nowt]

Aspas showing off putting corners in the box.

[Guest LFD]

No... he isn't. Is it three at the back then?

 

No it isn't.  My stream wasn't the best, I thought he was CB, then realised he wasn't.

[Trumo]

Aspas showing off putting corners in the box.

 

And they're just about getting there too.

[Newport]

Great movement from Aspas on the goal. Probably because he actually is a striker and not a winger as some seem to think.

[moof]

Quite a decent game to watch, this

[alles ist gut]

Good save there!

[Grinch]

Aspas found his level.

[Newport]

Brad Smith has a lot of pace and a decent left foot. What a shame his ball control is so woeful.
