Terrible first half, pretty decent second half. Bulgaria sat back and gave us the ball so we were faced with a very strange situation . Cullen was excellent and based on that should be in the squad for the next games. Byrne looked excellent in a sub appearance and Collins scored on his debut (was actually an excellent worked goal). Very much a second string team from us.How did we look? Still shite?
Kenny working his magic again. Best coach in the countryJust seen the u21 goals, all 3 were excellent.
Parrott was amazing when he came on from the clips that I saw.Kenny working his magic again. Best coach in the country
Hopefully he gets more than one campaign to implement his plan. He is a manager for the long term but I fear the FAI will give him the boot as soon as we don't qualify for the World Cup. He has to be given the time and patience that he needs. Otherwise it'll be Brian Kerr mark 2.Kenny working his magic again. Best coach in the country
I don't doubt that Kenny is a good coach. But he has taken over a very gifted group of players. So he has a big advantage over previous U21 managers.Kenny working his magic again. Best coach in the country
Right coach at the right time. He knows how to develop young playersI don't doubt that Kenny is a good coach. But he has taken over a very gifted group of players. So he has a big advantage over previous U21 managers.
Exciting times though:
Parrott Robinson
Stevens-----Brady---Hendrick-----Doherty
Cullen
Egan------Duffy-----Collins
Randolph
That could be our XI in the not too distant future. And some other good options like Maguire, Obafemi and Hourihane. Hopefully McCarthy can find some fitness and form at Palace. Travers might be able to push Randolph in a year or two if he can find regular football somewhere. Good times ahead.
Molumby in ahead of Hendrick. Aaron Connolly will hopefully make the grade tooI don't doubt that Kenny is a good coach. But he has taken over a very gifted group of players. So he has a big advantage over previous U21 managers.

Crazy stuff. Good job John Egan is playing wellThis Keogh story is absolutely nuts.
Stayed out drinking with two others on a teambuilding night out, didn't take cars home that were laid on for them, eventually ends up being a passenger in a drink-driving incident and his season is over with a knee injury he sustained in the crash.

Sunday papers must have something big on him for that shower to finally take action.
"In a statement, issued late on Saturday night, it was stated that: “The Board of the Football Association of Ireland announces the resignation with immediate effect of Executive Vice-President and former CEO John Delaney. This follows talks between the parties. The FAI will fulfil certain notice and pension obligations as agreed between the parties.There's defo a lot more to this. Delaney would not give up his outrageous golden handshake demands easily
He did really well today. Exciting times.Tweet

Yeah, we haven't had a forward of note for ages and watching Connolly yesterday I was reminded a bit of Carlos Tevez.He did really well today. Exciting times.

If young Troy Parrott at Spurs emerges too then we'll have a tasty looking forward line in the near future.
If it’s the what’s app floating around it’s fake . Can’t imagind him going on the lash in a pair Of bicycle shortsAbout time in regards to Delaney. On another topic, anyone see the pic of Keogh's knee after the drink driving incident? Looks gruesome as hell.
You're probably right but I can wait. I'm more concerned about the players we have. There's been a shocking lack of quality at international level for a long time now. Fingers crossed the eligibility issue around Daniel Crowley and Ryan Johansson is sorted in our favour.Sooner we get Kenny in to manage the senior team the better for them and us
No I reckon we should give ourselves a bit more credit than that.I just hope this quick call up allows us sufficient time to smother him with unrealistic expectations to the point where he has to leave social media. Otherwise, what's even the point?
As you were.Yeah, we haven't had a forward of note for ages and watching Connolly yesterday I was reminded a bit of Carlos Tevez.
I'm referring to his style of play, obviously.As you were.
Depends on the lineup. A Draw is definitely doable with the chance to sneak it.Kick off shortly. What's everyone's feelings going into this must win game? Georgia is always a tough away game.
I wouldn't be overly confident but we also seem to find a way to beat Georgia. Duffy header, 1-0.Kick off shortly. What's everyone's feelings going into this must win game? Georgia is always a tough away game.
