Löpande rapportering
Kick off. 16.00. CET.
Dalymount Park, Dublin.
The pic above is from the training yesterday.
It's raining shortly before kickoff.
Wolves team in darkblue and black:
Murray
Little-N.Collins-Craddock-L.Collins
Kightly-Olofinjana-Gleeson-Jones
Bothroyd-Elliott
Bohemians are dressed like AC Milan.
Only Murray and Kightly from what looked like McCarthys team selection at yesterdays training. It's like Bohemians-Wolves Res.
5 min. Pouring rain. 1-0 Bohemians.. not a good start.
The goal came from our left.
10 min: More rain.. not much happens. Bothroyd in a good position but offside.
15 min: "McCarthy, you are a wanker" from the home crowd. Tight game so far. Not easy to play on the slippery pitch.
20 min. Less rain now. 5000-6000 watching the game. A lot of freekicks against Bothroyd. Elliott invisible. Olofinjana tries to organize the midfield.
25 min: Disallowed goal for Wolves. Header. More rain.. no fun for the seven Swedes watching the game from a position with no roof... Truls, Finspång, Ludde, Reine, Jinxy, Ingrid and Bror will have to warm themself with a lot of whiskey after the game..
30 min: Shot from Elliott. Wolves slightly better now but the rain makes the game chaotic. The ref likes the home team, but maybe the game will not make 90 min...
35 min. Nobody understands why the Wolves goal earlier was disallowed: own goal by Bohemians but ref saw something.. Olofinjana is about to play himself out of the team. Not a good performance today. Not his kind of surface.
40 min: No quality. No chances. Craddock and Gleeson ok.
The swedes are a couple of pounds heavier and its not only because of the guided tour at Guiness Brewery yesterday. Their clothes are "a bit" wet..
Half time: 1-0. Not a good performance from Wolves reserves. Changes please!
Rain rain - fekking rain.
Now we have to wait and "sea" if it is going to be a second half.
Second half:
Hennessy in for Murray.
Henry in for Olofinjana.
S.Ward in for Jones.
Potter in for Gleeson.
Mulgrew in for L.Collins.
Edwards in for Little.
50 min: Bohs started best but no chances. Less rain now.
55 min: Henry takes control over midfield. Bohs dangerous in counter attacks but Wolves are the better team now.
The ref makes it hard for Wolves..
Eastwood and Keogh in for Bothroyd and Elliott. None of them had a good game.
58 min: Much better now. Close. Keogh shot saved on the line.
60 min: D.Ward and Breen in for N.Collins and Craddock. Only Kightly still on the pitch from the team that started the game.
62 min: We are getting close. Shot from Kightly.. oooohhh.
63 min: Bohemian volley, but supersave from Hennessy.
65 min: Close again. Kightly shot. Keeper saves with his feet.
McCarthys no 1 selection is now playing (except for the keeper). It looks like this is the team we are going to use against Watford.
70 min: Darren Ward impress. Looking good. Wolves dominating the game.
75 min: Only Wolves. More rain again. Header from Kightly saved. Thanks to Keogh our passing tempo is much higher now.
80 min: GOAL. Stephen WARD. 1-1. Header after a cross from Keogh.
81 min: Kightly misses an open goal..
82 min: Eastwood (or Kightly?) hit the bar..
Wolves pressure for a winning goal.
85 min: It's all Wolves now. The ref still likes the home team. Keogh great.
86 min: Bad shot from Kightly. Should have scored.
90 min: Keogh almost through. Corner.
Full time: It ended 1-1.
A lot of thanks to Truls for a couple of hundred SMS from Ireland which made this live coverage possible.
and... it's not raining anymore..
