She’s just been on the radio. She plays for Shels U13s. Lovely kid. Her old man’s been hit with a €1000 fine!

Fair enough if it’s panto stuff but it certainly wasn’t in Roy’s case.
Duffy is better than Maguire and Kenny better than Ole. Morning, lads. Make a bit of time to celebrate our 0-0 home victory against Portugal, will you?
Kenny is Pep with hair
Couldn't agree more. Apparently he is a Man Utd fan. Also City have extended the contract of their reserve keeper so I would expect he will need to move on eventually. I was reading that City are seeking to loan him to a Championship club in January but he is pushing for a top division club, which I think he has the right to do now. He is a wonderkid.
by who?
Paul McShane can step in and solve United's problems in defence any time lads
McShane - Maguire duo
Dunno. Presumably whoever runs the stadium?
He might be the best we ever had is the word.
I’m fascinated by him. Why/when did he decide to go in nets? He must have been streets ahead of most kids on any area of the pitch. Very unusual to have such a talented ball player stuck in goals at such a young age. Fair play to Rovers for whatever role they played in making him the player he is now.
T'is unfortunate to have Kelleher and Bazunu at the same time.
We could play Bazunu in CM for the craic.

Tubridy will surely do an appeal ?
Would be class if we could get him
I'm not sure but I'll take the hit and ask my brother and report back.
If it was an audio platform I'd record the conversation and make ye listen to the inevitable detailed report on the under 11s
I’d be all ears. Spending every Sunday on the sidelines of assorted DDSL games gives me more tolerance than most for that sort of waffle. I can also report that the days of the fat, crap kid in goals are long gone. All the keepers at the top clubs are extremely competent on the ball. Just find it hard to imagine any underage coach not being tempted to give someone as talented as Bazunu a run around.
By nobody. That’s a BS story. There was no fine.
There was a fine. It’s not a BS story. If you spent two seconds googling you’d know that.
She claimed her da was getting fined 3 grand when she was on the radio but the FAI have since said that they (the FAI) might get fined but they wouldn't be issuing a fine against the girl and her family.
I heard her on the radio. I think she said there was a fine of a grand and her dad would pay it. Haven’t seen anything from the FAI.
I think the FAI comments are fairly recent as this article is only from an hour ago or so.

If we finish 4th in the group how badly will that feck us for future groups?
Joe’s an awful bollox when all’s said and done.
Being fair, Ronaldo was only delighted to have a legitimate reason to whip his shirt off for a change.
Fine by who? UEFA? They have no power to fine an individual .Google that .
This is getting a bit feisty
It wasn't bullshit. The girl herself said her da was getting fined.
The FAI have said this evening that they won't be fining them.
The FAI confirmed this evening that Addison would not face a fine for running onto the pitch, as is usually the case for pitch invaders.
An FAI spokesperson said: "We want to reassure Addison that of course she will not face any fine for running onto the pitch and asking for Ronaldo's jersey.
"On a serious note we would remind fans at all games that fines are liable to be levied by UEFA in certain instances for entering the field of play, particularly when the game is ongoing and we urge all fans to respect this very sensible rule

UEFA will probably fine the FAI for the miniature pitch invasion. But the girl won't be fined from what I read.
Hopefully can get a win against Luxembourg now on Sunday and build on the last few positive results and performances.
I think Brady’s worried, judging by his recent performances, Paul Scholes is going to knock him off his pedestal as the most miserable pundit. Good to see he’s upped his level.
Exactly.

It was bullshit then. An 11 year old girl said her Da was getting fined?
Jesus.

You think an 11 year old girl knows what’s what?
Oh Lordy.
Oh Lordy.
I am pretty sure they do, otherwise we would have ten or more U12's running on the pitch after each match?
Going where? Serious question.Sure we are playing the ball a bit more but I can’t see us qualifying for anything.
Can you see us qualifying for anything under a different manager and if so, who?
No. I cannot, which doesn’t negate my point.
She was on the late late show and now she’s got 2 tickets for an arsenal game . I doubt they’re front row seats though
