Red In Dublin
« Previous EntriesNext Entries »El Nino raids Villa
The 1-0 win over Villa was so badly needed. We played well and were the better team but an injury time winner always makes the victory even sweeter. It didn’t go down well in the sky studio. Keys and Gray were sick that we hadn’t read the script and…
Portsmouth and Wolves
Red In Dublin The Christmas period started really badly for the reds with a 2-0 loss at Fratton Park. I only saw highlights of this one but we looked rubbish. All of the reports I read said we were dire. Masch getting himself sent off didn’t help but we were already 1-0 down at that [...]

Ngog we trust?
Red In Dublin I’ve been pretty busy in work recently so updates have been lacking. Here’s a brief overview of the last two games. Sunday’s match with Arsenal was really disappointing. Although, I was really happy at half time. We had started really well and Masch was closing them down to great effect. El Nino [...]

Perfection
Red In Dublin Sweet, sweet victory. Any win would have done considering the run we were on but a 2-0 win over the Man Ure where we dominated and destroyed them was very satisfying. Top marks to the team, it’s hard to pick a poor performer among them. Rafa out anyone? The managerial obituaries will [...]
Carling cup knockout
Red In Dublin Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool was what the scoreboard displayed at full time. We were treated to two stunning strikes in a really open and attacking game. Both Insua and Merida provided goals to savour. We played quite well and could have won it. Arsenal carved us open a few times but they took [...]
Cottage calapse
Red In Dublin Balls. When I saw the team sheet on Saturday I got very worried. 3-1 was the final result after a 1-1 draw at the break. We actually played well enough in the first half and things might have been different if Yossi had of scored rather than hit the bar in the [...]
Miracle required
Red In Dublin 1-1 was a sickener after playing so well. Babel made the breakthrough with a stunning goal but was let down by some madness at the back with 20 seconds remaining. If only we defended slightly better, we would have gotten the win we deserved. Now it’s out of our hands. Claude Puel, [...]
Yet more misery
Red In Dublin Just when I thought our luck might turn, we hammered Birmingham but only came away with a point from our 2-2 draw at home. The team was still patched up, Torres didn’t make the bench but Aquilani and Gerrard did. Just because it finished 2-2 with us getting a dodgy peno doesn’t [...]
City stalemate and euro knockout
Red In Dublin Right. Brief synopsis. I saw very little of the 2-2 drawat home with City. By all accounts it was a fair result in a boring match. Nice to see us score from a set piece but painfully predictable to see us concede from one. Skrtel let himself down again here. Also very [...]
Pepe comes up trumps
Red In Dublin Sometimes you get the rub of the green, and we definitely did here. A 2-0 win may have been more than we deserved on the balance of play as I thought Everton deserved a draw. But they didn’t take any of their chances. We took two of ours and that was enough. [...]
Blackburn and Fiorentina
Red In Dublin 0-0 draw away to Blackburn was not the result I was looking for. We were rubbish in the first half and improved in the second. Ngog was unlucky when the ball bobbled in front of him and he hit the bar rather than the back of the net. But overall it was [...]
Deflated
Red In Dublin I didn’t think we would do well here given the injuries and team we put out. However, I didn’t expect us to beaten by a fucking balloon. In fairness, we played shit and deserved to be beaten regardless of the beach ball. A 1-0 loss was disappointing but not entirely unexpected given [...]
The aftermath
Red In Dublin Just when I thought we were out, they pull us back in. Crap. That was not what we needed. To break it down: Kelly was brilliant at right back. Fantastic performance from the teenager and we disimproved when he came off injured. A star of the future. Agger looked better in the [...]
