'It's playing poorly and still managing to win that's a sign of a good team'
If I had a pound for every time I've heard that in the last 36 hours I'd have enough money to make
Keith Andrews' move to Portman Road a permanent one.
The scoreline suggests that the midfielder's 80th minute strike was the only difference between the
two sides, but that wasn't the case.
During Ipswich's game with Coventry last night, both Jimmy Bullard and Keith Andrews wanted to take
a free kick. How did they settle who got to take it? Like men with a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors...
I'm not a fan of the game because whenever I have a kickabout with friends, we always do
rock-paper-scissors [.

Mamma mia We always assumed that if Keith Andrews slammed a 25-yard piledriver past Gianluigi
Buffon, the universe would implode. But it would appear that isn't the case. The Blackburn
midfielder opened the scoring for the Republic of Ireland as they secured a surprise 2-0 victory
over coach Giovannio Trapattoni's native Italy.

The Republic of Ireland beat Italy 2-0 in Belgium to-night to cap a great week
for the Irish as Simon Cox scored the Republic's second goal with a simple tap-in, after great work
from Stephen Hunt who also assisted Keith Andrews goal via a set-piece.
Keith Andrews gives Ireland the lead against Italy in their friendly tie in
Belgium.
