Under 21's - Switzerland v Ireland With 5 minutes left, it's 2-0 to Ireland through two goals from Walters. Russia and Georgia are drawing 2-2. Imagine if we were in this situation with 5 minutes to go tomorrow...
excellent result for ireland. how did we end up in that group . i haven't seen a table. if that was the results tomorrow it would be great. of course it would be even better if russia didn't win though.
Johnny Walters, remember the name? That was his debut, if I'm not mistaken, and he's very very highly rated by the Bolton fans on here anyway. Hopefully this means despite the U21s loseing alot of their players through age there's still alot of talent coming through. And yeah, I wouldn't mind a repeat of the scoreline tomorrow myself either.
is that the guy (jonathan walters) who wanted to play for england but thought that he would have a better chance of making the irish team. or am i doing him a diservice
Group 10 Pld Pts Switzerland 8 19 Russia 8 15 Albania 8 10 Ireland 8 8 Georgia 8 5 So we ended up second last. Nice to see some of the U-20's get a run out before the up coming World Cup, good move on Given's part. Interestingly enough, the game was played in Neuchatel where Givens was a player and manager in the 80's.
