Hard fought is right.. Last ditch heroics has become the norm!.. Roll on next weekend!.

It will be fun seeing how long last ditch heroics works against Spain.

No David Villa helps the form of Torres would want to continue.

hard fought draw tonight in terrible conditions. another clean sheet and no injuries. roll on the euros. ole ole ole.

Despite some lucky escapes in games the Irish defence has a great record over the past few years. If they keep this going they have a great chance of getting out of the group. A lot will depend on how long in games a clean sheet can be kept, as in the Russian game at home conceding earlier against quality opposition makes it hard to get back into a game but if we can keep Spain or Italy scoreless to halftime you would fancy our chances of nicking a goal at some point and then who knows.

Spain aren't just about those two, you have Pedro, Iniesta, Xavi, Llorente all of whom would have scored against that display last night. Lets hope it was just that they didn't want to pick up injuries.

Thousands of locals turned out to welcome the Republic of Ireland to Euro 2012 as they arrived at their training base in Poland.

The 15,000-capacity Municipal Stadium in Gdynia was close to full for a public session this afternoon.

Last night's display would want to improve. Spain's possible line up - Casillas;Arbeloa,Ramos, Piqué,Alba; Busquets,Alonso; Xavi,Iniesta,Silva;Llorente.  I see a side that will give Ireland a footballing lesson in retaining possession however it's not a team that's free scoring and a good defensive display by Ireland might grab unlikely draw.

That was excellent. I listened in on the tunein radio app.
There was no need for a presenter even the boys just kept talking among themselves.

It will probably be available as a podcast I'd say. Missed first half hour myself until I saw you post about it here.
