u19s have qualified for the Euros.
Meanwhile, the senior side lineup just about looks good enough to handle Gibraltar.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Gibraltar, unlike some of the Irish lads, are having trouble finding De Barr.
Some nice scenery behind the Gibraltar goal. Highlight so far.
I'm not looking forward to Georgia. We're gonna get destroyed and Qazaishvilli is going to look like Messi again.
Play the U19’s I say, instead of this lot. It can’t get any worse.
Horrible negative football . Every time we are on the ball we look backwards
It was bad enough to see Rice take the Sasanach coin, but to see Tony playing up front for Gibraltar is a hammer blow.
This is dirge
Gibraltar are comfortable

Funny hearing George Hamilton and Beglin be so condescending towards Gibraltar when we are so wank.
Why was there ever hype about James McClean he is completely useless .
This has been a great half for Gibraltar and therefore the World.
Was tempted to back Gibraltar +2 before the game at 5/1. Sorry I didn't now, feck it.
Homebase’s ad about making your garden fantasies a reality; not sure they can help with my garden fantasies.
Oh yeah, 0-0 at HT.

At this stage, I'm not sure I'll ever see us play well again.
Playing exactly like a Mick McCarthy team. Shite.
Should put the rock up front, more movement than the attack currently.
We've created chances. There's a few new faces and it shows with impatient passes and mistakes. Have a feeling we might settle a tad and nick that goal in the 2nd half. Way too early to make any judgments about Micks reign. Coleman and McClean look like they won't be in this team much longer.
Uhh, like feck we have. Our only decent chance was their defender trying to stick it in his own goal. Beyond that we're just pumping random balls into the box.
Best chance of the game falls to the rocky outcrop.
Get in. We are awesome.
1-0.
Good finish.
Good finish.
Total football.
Gibraltar, the Rock of (Horse) your boys took one hell of a beating.
Domination here. McCarthy already has us back to the top level where we belong up against a tough Gibratlor side with a couple of talented youth players from former PL champions Blackburn Rovers.

Officially the worse game of "football" I've ever had the displeasure of watching.
Job done. Very tricky wind and plastic pitch. Some positives - Some half decent movment down the wings that was non existent under O'Neill, Brady back, Stevens and Keogh looked solid enough, Hourihane is lethal from set pieces, Maguire should get better with experience, McGoldrick was decent enough.
3 points.
Ireland usually play down to their opponents level so though it was dire to watch it’s no surprise.
It’ll be interesting to see them play a better team.

You have to imagine the lads were overcome with sadness when they heard the Delaney news.
Should've just given the job to Kenny now.
I like Mick but don't really see this working. He's a 4-4-2, solid pros and safety first type of manager. I presume looking at the team today ROI played a 3-5-2? Never struck me as the sort who'll bring lots of youth through at once which is what ROI need and obviously why they've appointed Kenny for the long term.
Swiss are massive favourites to win the group and Denmark should get second so don't see ROI making it.

Were we as bad as the scoreline suggests?
Just seen the stats (possesio. Looks like it was a pretty even game? Did Gibraltar have any good scoring chances?
One header early in the second half at 0-0, great save from Randolph. Really should've been 1-0 down.
Yes it was diabolical stuff.
Delaney is gone.
But, er, not gone.
Moved to another position in the organisation.
