I think its fair to say this team could win the World Cup
The delivers was made look better by a very indecisive Andorra Goalkeeper.Some beautiful crosses for the final two goals there. Andorra are muck but always nice to appreciate great deliveries when they are produced.

A better goalkeeper would have claimed those two crosses on the 3rd,4th goals. The rookie Andorra keeper was caught in two minds. Woeful effort to save the header on the 2nd goal also.As I said, they are muck but a great delivery makes even the very best ‘keepers look indecisive.
What about now?This experiment has to end.
Its beyond tragic.
Id take Steve fecking Staunton back to end this
I think we all know where we're going to end up on this front and it won't be the one that has our hearts aflutter.Whatever about the game and the win. I think Kenny is trying to do things right, but this current lot are the worst group of players I can remember in an Irish squad. Right now, It's a toss up between going for the long term view and trying to evolve a new style into the team or going back to the hoofball and maybe scraping the odd one or two nil win.
I also just realised that RTE without Bill and the lads regardless of the game is just not worth watching.
He ended up doing something though right?He has done nothing, I repeat, he has done nothing
CheersThis match i think https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50321181
What about now?
I remember it like this.How was Hoolahan generally regarded in an Irish shirt?
That’s basically the exact sentiments that my Irish cousin gave me earlier. He said when he wasn’t playing it felt like Wes was really needed and would be the one to pick the lock, but when he was present he never really impacted the game.I remember it like this.
Best and most creative player available when he didn't play.
Not fit enough and not physically up to it when he did play.

I don't remember it like this at all. He was always our best player but was rarely picked due to the negative tactics we've been plagued with over the past few regimes.I remember it like this.

Do you think he’d have done better with the current regime?I don't remember it like this at all. He was always our best player but was rarely picked due to the negative tactics we've been plagued with over the past few regimes.
In fairness, Euro 2016 is the only tournament we’ve done anything at in almost 20 years now and he scored and set up the only goals we scored from play (and that got us out of the group) with a lovely finish against Sweden and a great cross against ItalyThat’s basically the exact sentiments that my Irish cousin gave me earlier.

Thanks for the reply, I really liked his style as a player but never saw that much of him.
A bit like Juan Mata at Utd. Could either be best player or worst on the pitch depending on the opposition.How was Hoolahan generally regarded in an Irish shirt?

I'm about 100 pages in. It's wild!A goal!!!
Have any you read champagne football? The book about the delaneys and the fai. I’m just getting into it now. It’s just madness.
And with that the next big thing becomes the next has been.Without knowing much about them, that looks very much like the wrong move, if he has designs on being an international player again.Tweet

Is this the place where we talk about Shane Duffy's great start to the season?
Because he's a new man right now.
Can't not be happy for him.Is this the place where we talk about Shane Duffy's great start to the season?

Molumby, Connolly and Duffy there already as well. The FAI are basically outsourcing youth development to the sunny South Coast of England at this point.Can't not be happy for him.
In other news, two debuts tonight from Moran (17) and Ferguson (16) for Brighton - two exciting underage Ireland players.
Id say its more about the LOI - he's not going to play either of them so best to bring Travers in for the experienceIs this Kenny’s way of giving Randolph a kick up the arse to stop being WH’s number 3 or does he genuinely believe a LOI is a better choice or fits better with the promotion of the Irish game?Tweet

I don’t think future squads will have lots of LOI if Kenny gets the sack which isn’t the most unlikely thing to happen, we’ll not be seeing more than the odd LOI player..James Talbot is well deserving of a place in that squad if Kelleher and Bazuna are. Excellent keeper and his six games in Europe all of which Kenny watched he was immense. Half of the squad have come from LOI and our future squads will also have lots of players coming from the LOI. Yes I would absolutely take the stand out keeper in the league who has excelled in six european games in the last two months over a 34 year old third choice keeper.
I didn't mean they'll have lots of active LOI players rather they'll have lots of players that are currently playing LOI. Dawson Devoy and Andy Lyons will both be in future Ireland squads and currently playing for Bohs if you get my point. Theres other likewise players in the leagueI don’t think future squads will have lots of LOI if Kenny gets the sack which isn’t the most unlikely thing to happen, we’ll not be seeing more than the odd LOI player..
Oh right, I still think it’s a little harsh on Randolph he’s been excellent for us down the years even if he never showed it at West Ham, to say there’s a way back for him at 34 is a little silly, just close the door and be done with it if you’re not going to pick him, think he’s covering his bases there.I didn't mean they'll have lots of active LOI players rather they'll have lots of players that are currently playing LOI.
