Bulgaria v Ireland & Ireland v Bulgaria

I’d have given us no hope if Big Ev was up top but Troy might get us a result (draw) here

Do we want to win this? Seems like we would have a better chance of qualifying from below?

That midfield is tragic

4-2-3-1 might make a bit more sense :man_shrugging:t2:

Ah he’s had a good run of games with wolves. And playing well too

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn’t mean it

Really disappointed that Jake O’ Brien isn’t in there. Feels like when Seamus Coleman was tearing it up and still left out of the Ireland team around 2011. Fair enough Doherty has actually been okay for Wolves in recent months but O’ Brien has to be in there somewhere.

@neilld. It’s time to push Nat Collins up to midfield in place of Josh Cullen. Slot O’ Brien in CB then if needed.

Tony O D must be freezing. He is shakin like a leaf

This is like the national league gaa. Nobody seems to know. I even asked Elon musks buddy grok

How in the name of Sam Hill is Jake O’Brien left out of this team?

1-1 victory incoming

Petkov in Bulgaria is like Maher in Tipp

Complete lack of improvisation by the local tv director here.

Sometimes very good club form might not be a slam dunk for international selection depending on style, formation etc. Moreso in midfield & attacking areas maybe but it’s centre back in a two, which is right up O’Brien’s street, & there’s an open slot alongside Nathan Collins. Scales has played the most recent games there. Seems a strange call indeed. Dara O’Shea is a decent player but he can acquit himself well at right back & that would have the positive benefit of getting Doherty out of the side.

Lovely range of colours visible on the pitch

Typical TFK
I never thought I’d say it but you’ve lads here thinking they know better than a big name like Heimmer Hallgrimmsonnsonn, fuck sake :man_shrugging:

This is the best start Ireland have ever had to a match

We’ll beat these 7-0

As in, the length of his name?

Bazunu would have saved that.
