I am limited to three posts a day so won't be able to reply after this. I absolutely agree and think along with Duffy has been our best player in the last five years. The reason Randolph isn't in the squad is because he is finalising a deadline day move today. I wasn't aware of this when i first posted. I'm not sure to which club either but you would think a championship club. Possibly Sheffield United following Ramsdales departure and Sheffield have a good Irish core .

Yep. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a 6-0 or something if Portugal turn it on.Everyone's going to be watching us tomorrow so that they can watch Ronaldo and everyone's gonna see how shit we are
No problem buddy. That’s good at least. He’ll maybe get more playing time now if it is Sheffield United because with Areola going to West Ham he didn’t stand much a chance there.
Wonder will the Ireland fans sing Viva Ronaldo 
There is no way he isn't getting the record against us. I like Duffy, but he ain't stopping Cristiano Ronaldo.
I'd settle for 2-0, Ronaldo gets the record but we don't get embarrassed.
He might smash a header for 6-1 though...
Portugese manager calls us a 'British team'... insult before injury

Predictions? 3-0/4-0?
6-0
This is going to be horrific
Watching just to see how Ronaldo is these days, like a preseason friendly for him

He'll be up for it too. I can't see him not breaking the record tonight.
Hard to say this..
Good save that.
Should Ronaldo be off? Missed the incident.
Naw commentator talking shite..
To the letter of the law yes. Common sense says no.
But this ref is terrible, so it's not surprising that he chose to do nothing.
Nothing much in it but he swung an open hand at him and made contact so it wasn't clever from Ronaldo.
We're doing well so far
We're doing ok but losing the ball cheaply when we do get chances.
I do think we can score (if we could get a shot on feckin target)
This is a good game so far. Pity we don’t have a bit more quality going forward on the counter.
Connolly is brutal hope Robinson gets on
This Bazunu lad has been impressive again.
Bazunu for Taoiseach!!
Yeah really wish we could have just one player with some star quality. It'd make such a difference as it does with the likes of Poland or Sweden with Ibrahimovic and lewandowski.
Oh that's a nasty ankle twisted backwards under him injury for Dara O Shea. He'll have to go off.
Connolly is usually brutal in front of goal (up Galway!) but I love his work rate. Just fancy him to get one tonight for some strange reason. Just because of how unlikely it seemed before the match started
Did Brighton sign a striker? He really needs to take his chances soon or he’ll be in the championship soon

Too easy this i thought Portugal would give us a game
Hahaha yesssss
Nice!!!
Nice header. Deserved that.
This is a completely different Ireland side fair play to them even look international worthy.
We're all over them. This is mad
Wasted chance there, Connolly needed to put Idah through.
Connolly has to be subbed at half time he is absolutely awful. We should have have 2 or 3 by now but for him
He has zero end product, unfortunately. Idah was away there if he got his head up.
Thank God they have Jota up front
Ronaldo hasn’t really got a sniff, should we be worried about that?
He has zero composure.
I know its harsh but he is a premiership player and international but every time i watch him he is just awful and the only thing he seems able to do is dive
