Some consolation. I’d be pissed off.

He’ll be delighted with that

Westwood the big surprise there although it probably won’t matter anyway

Wes Hoolohan should see a doctor, he doesnt look well there.

16 Irish born players in that squad. That’s pretty high by our standards I’d imagine?

All 23 are in the ra. Good enough…

That’s a relatively old squad on the face of it.Nearly half the squad would be over 30.

Brady, Hendrick, Christie and Duffy would be the only ones under 25

Long and Randolph also

Long and Randolph also what?

Both of them are 29

Apologies, re-read your post, under 30 was what I meant, then saw you had u25

must be short enough odds on us losing 3 out of 3 matchs looking at that squad.

most likely outcome for us is two draws sweden and belgium and a 1 - 0 loss to the equally sh1t italy who will beat us because that`s what they do and we do when it counts.

wtf?

thought you were incarcerated?

Oldest squad on the Euros, for the second successive tournament. Bit of extra experience garnered over the past 4 years should see us right.

I’m a bit uneasy about Monday. Plenty of sound bites about how we’re much better prepared than last time and have a better/more relaxed mindset (rather than the 3-week lock down and double training sessions pre Poland).

But Walters seems to be struggling and won’t train until the end of the week now, if at all. Brady has also missed the last few sessions and Keane is only working his way back. That comes on the back of McCarthy’s niggle and the likes of Arter being ruled out.

Does the management duo’s separate headline generating quotes of recent days cause a distraction? Keane probably pissed the players off a bit but I don’t know.

It seems like it could all be a bit smoother or something. Maybe the management agreeing contract extensions today will change things to a more positive NARRATIVE.
