Soccer Aid

Wright and Murrs are quality

Would a forced substitution not have made more sense rather than sending someone off in a charity game.

Sending someone off in a charity match. Typical John Moss behaviour.

To be fair the Moss, that first tackle was easily a straight red.

Playing Defoe in this kind of game is basically cheating, he's still professional at the highest level.

Damien Lewis has got some skills.

Great miss Judas.

Jack Whitehall has got to the line 3 times and put in a good first time cross every time. Yet Morgan fox takes three touches and scuffs it

Should be going to the Euros. Most underrated English striker in my lifetime.

I agree should be in the Euros squad ahead of either Sterling or Sturridge imo

See you in two years Jonathan Wilkes.

Mark Wright was excellent. You could see he had played for West Ham, Arsenal Spurs at youth level and then Southend before Towie started! If I was Charlton manager I would give him a go definitely.

Berbatov, Ronaldinho, Cafu, Wright, Murs and Davids would all get contracts from me

I find it outstanding that non professionals/celebrities even manage to blend in at all in the slightest with the amount of decent pros and ex class players on that pitch....unless the pros we're going easy on them, which I doubt.

These so called celebs are either so pampered and or constantly work out...where it kind of makes the art of being a professional footballer look rather easy, it's not true but soccer aid sort of gives off that impression.

Nothing against Olly Murs he's probably a nice bloke but is also quite a generally irritating one. How the hell has he got this level of football ability in his locker? He's not that young either.

Essex's answer to Ned Flanders.

Olly Murs is not a good player, he was being marked by some American bloke I've never heard of who's probably never kicked a ball !!

Mark Wright has a great left foot and could easily play in L1

Murs can kick a football, but not as good as some people might say - his finishing said it all. Wright had some genuine quality though. Ben Shepherd shouldn't go around trying to break a former professional's legs in a charity match and should be ashamed of himself. Defoe playing was cheating but money was raised for charity so no big deal.

Mark Wright and Damian Lewis the two celebrities who can actually play at a decent level.

Mark Wright looked decent but I wouldn't get carried away with his level of ability. Last night was at a snails pace and I've seen players strike a ball like that in The Kent County Division.

Agree. Hit the free kick well enough, don't think it would have gone past Dida though somehow!
