The Football Thread

[Trev]

If they could convince Anthony Gordon to choose us over England, and with Evan Ferguson looking so good, there'd be two players to build a team around. They're not world beaters, but decent enough to give a bit of hope at qualifying for something

[The Butcher]

I think Ireland's best hope is a style somewhere between Trap's and Kenny's. It's about knowing when to use which, Kenny has tried the same thing for 3 years and the result is always the same, a narrow defeat.

That's what I've been thinking - we are too predictable when a manager decides it's either 100% possession football or 100% long ball nonsense. There was a good few times in that Dutch match where a long ball scenario should have been tried, esp since Ogbene and Idah seemed to cause them a bit of bother up front. Mix it up ffs 

Duffy and Doherty lead us to way too many costly mistakes, both at fault for not being aware of their surroundings. Cullen has been shocking too with a lot of his passing. And what pisses me off is the complete lack of risk taking, once someone loses it up front there's no one rushing in from behind to nab the ball back, instantly gave the Dutch the full counter press.

Ah innocent times. Back when E's were good

Liverpool not impressed with var after yesterday, saying they're going to escalate it etc. Reckon they're pissing into the wind tbh

[Trev]

Fair play to them, it's been a fucking disaster since it was brought in so its about time the clubs started pushing back

I'm still pissed Brentford were given a goal against Arsenal because the VAR official forgot to draw the offside line, quite literally the only thing they had to do. Could have changed the whole title race

[Ollkiller]

I dont see Var being the issue. I see the idiots making the var decisions the problem. You'd swear they knew nothing about football.

[StoutAndAle]

The VAR officials have the same sort of decision paralysis that I get when my wife asks me if I want Mexican, Chinese or Indian takeaway.

[astfgyl]

Well that was chronic again last night. Little bits of nice play here and there but nothing to get excited about at all. Ah well.

If they're not going to keep Kenny he should go now and give someone a chance to look over the squad for what games are left.

[astfgyl]

Ireland are back! Fantastic win against a team who haven't scored at all in the qualifiers. The new era starts here

[Mower Liberation Front]

VAR having another fine week, I see.

[DISRUPTER]

Jack Moylan is amazing. Sad to see him go but looking forward to seeing him do well in England.

Hope Duffer gets a new contract.

Hope Duffer gets a new contract.

For entertainment value, if nothing else. He's almost as mental as Ollie Horgan.
