Shit thought it was 7:45 kick offThis ref is genuinely terrible. Near enough every 50-50 going to Finland and failed to give them two clear yellow cards in the first half.
Stumbled across it by mistake myself. 2nd half just started now.Shit thought it was 7:45 kick off
That was a proper awful goal to give up. Give up an odd man situation from your own goal kick, pub league stuff1-0 down. Been marginally the better side here again so far but we've wasted our chances.
Only switched it on last 15 minutes, Molumby has been non existent since I have been watching, Connolly is getting on the ball but producing nothing.How are Molumby and Connolly doing?
5 o clock kick off are shit.Shit thought it was 7:45 kick off
Barely noticed Molumby.How are Molumby and Connolly doing?
You’re stating the bleeding obvious. Results have to improve. There are plenty of signs that they will though. It’s still very early days and the team has had some ridiculous bad luck over the last couple of weeks.Yeah it’s great an all, how Ireland are playing. But it’s like I said before. You need to score to win. playing great is pointless if you can’t beat fecking Finland and Slovakia.
Martin Keowns extended family only live a few mile up the road from me here in Northern Ireland. Not sure if he would have been eligible for the Republic as they hadnt the same rules in those days.Look at Martin Keown, he was born to an Irish mother never saw himself as Irish but his kid does (head scratching that), as with phil neville, why because they are not picked by the English, Brucey was another and that guy never played for England and could have gone to Euro 88, WC 90/94 thanks to his Irish mother, but didnt see himself as Irish and as much as I hate and despise Keown, I respect him more than his kid, nevilles kid as I do Bruce.
It's well documented that he could have played for Ireland.Martin Keowns extended family only live a few mile up the road from me here in Northern Ireland. Not sure if he would have been eligible for the Republic as they hadnt the same rules in those days.
Ahhhhhh, those were the days. We were fecking brilliantly average back then. I expected a draw every game which made the wins all the sweeter.It's well documented that he could have played for Ireland.
The granny rule has been in place for donkeys. Keown is younger that Cas, Houghton, Aldridge and all those lads.

Very short term view, lads. I'm very happy with what I've seen so far. I don't give a fiddlers about results at the moment. Comical bad luck over last week and a half but regardless of personal, same style. Were seeing more of the ball trying to pass it forward and we're creating. They all seem on board. Listening to Mick blathering on in co commentary about results and direct football, Christ I've had enough of that shite to last me a lifetime. When's the last time you enjoyed watching Ireland play? Kenny's made a much quicker impact than I expected.Not really accepting this playing better football nonsense . If we can’t put the ball in the net we may as well be playing hoofball.
Can’t see anyone in that team that can grab 6/7 in a qualifying group.
Connolly is lively but takes wrong options time and time again.

His mother is from Galway. But, happy to let anywhere else claim him!Martin Keowns extended family only live a few mile up the road from me here in Northern Ireland. Not sure if he would have been eligible for the Republic as they hadnt the same rules in those days.
Why may we as well be playing hoofball? Sorry did I miss all the goals and results it was getting us from Mick? No, that’s right, there were still no goals and shit results. Dog shit football that could barely scrape us by Gibraltar for Christ sakes.Not really accepting this playing better football nonsense .

You always need to score to win, something we weren’t doing previously either. So what’s your point?Yeah it’s great an all, how Ireland are playing. But it’s like I said before. You need to score to win. playing great is pointless if you can’t beat fecking Finland and Slovakia.
you're both right, his mother from Galway, his dad was from Fermanagh.His mother is from Galway. But, happy to let anywhere else claim him!
We’d play Gibraltar and we would have Plenty of possession and probably still scrape by with a 1-0. We’re lacking goals in our team. Let’s not fool ourselves and say Slovakia , Wales and Finland are decent teams.Why may we as well be playing hoofball? Sorry did I miss all the goals and results it was getting us from Mick?

If we can’t score or get great results then we may as well play something that actually resembles football and gives fans even an ounce of entertainment and desire to sit through 90 minutes of it. Something we haven’t felt after years and years of being bored out of our mind of going to Gibraltar to be absolute crap.

Ah, didn't realise his mother was from the republic. Just know his fathers side in Fermanaghyou're both right, his mother from Galway, his dad was from Fermanagh.
Like Sean Og O hAilpin. Not a hurling stronghold apparently.his dad was from Fermanagh.
They are teams about the same level as us, apart from Wales who have more young talent coming through than us right now. This project under Kenny is gonna take time and it's the right approach. Because even if he fails, he will have built a foundation where all underage teams are playing the same style as the national team, and that whoever takes over from him, will hopefully be another manager who plays the right way and will have a solid foundation to build from.We’d play Gibraltar and we would have Plenty of possession and probably still scrape by with a 1-0. We’re lacking goals in our team. Let’s not fool ourselves and say Slovakia , Wales and Finland are decent teams.
And we were lacking goals before too.We’d play Gibraltar and we would have Plenty of possession and probably still scrape by with a 1-0. We’re lacking goals in our team. Let’s not fool ourselves and say Slovakia , Wales and Finland are decent teams.
100% agree. The standard had been so awful for so many years under various managers that I'm delighted to see them even starting to try to play. It's the right path and it'll bring rewards eventually, and hopefully even soon.And we were lacking goals before too.
There are all similar level to us. Hence why we held our own against all of them and often even looked the better side. We’ve lacked goals, so have the 3 of them. The 8 nations league matches in our group has produced 9 goals. So let’s also not fool ourselves and say they’re scoring for fun either.
So again I’ll ask why may we as well go back to dog shit football under Mick? What are we getting out of that? It doesn’t give us goals, it doesn’t give us results and it hasn’t entertained anyone even slightly in years. So how are we as well of with a pile of dog shit over something fans can at least look at and call it football?

And Martin himself is from planet of the apesyou're both right, his mother from Galway, his dad was from Fermanagh.
And it was only 3 goals in 5 for Mick not including Gibraltar which doesnt even count as a real match and yet Mick still struggled. So guess what, still fecking shit at scoring. Guess what else, we went 2 years without winning a competitive match other than again bloody Gibraltar and Georgia at home. So yes that’s right the results were also shit.Because now it’s 5 games 1 goal under Kenny playing decent football against like you said teams that are our level .
Did Mick manage that playing shite football ? Can’t remember droughts like that.
my point is and has been we need a goal scorer or it’s rinse repeat with Kenny and poor results .
He has relatives in Co. Galway too. Definetly Irish qualified.Martin Keowns extended family only live a few mile up the road from me here in Northern Ireland. Not sure if he would have been eligible for the Republic as they hadnt the same rules in those days.
Hahaha ha. He sure is.And Martin himself is from planet of the apes
