Euro 2016 - Irish Squad Watch

i backed Turkey at 80/1, they’ve a phenomenal midfield, up front not so solid but that’s the case for many sides in France… Fatih Terim is lunatic, they were beaten in the 2008 semi by germany 3-2 and we all remember that mental QF v Croatia.
I think they will beat Spain also
I backed Slovakia at 200/1 also, now i actually like them when i saw them in Dublin, it was more of a degenerate bet really but then i saw my pal Steve Freeth from B365 who is very good at football betting in Sport on Saturday on ATR give his nap bet on them qualifying from Grp. B gives me a bit of hope, they have no strikers tho, some lad from Victoria Plzen and another fella who cant get a game with Willem 2

other bets
Ukraine to beat NI at evens is nailed on and will be 4/7 come KO, throw a few hundred on it now…
mind you NI’s defense is good , Cathcart/Evans/Macauley are a very reliable , consistent partnersip, it would suprise me if they get a 0-0 v Poland but i think the Ukraine will smash them, 2 games in 5 games is to much for NI, Sunday is their final and i think they’ll be ripped apart by a Ukranian attack
degenerate ones

  • Germany not to qualfy from their group at 18/1
  • Hungary and Italy not to score , i must find out how to get these on… i think Hungary at 8/1 to be lowest scorers is a good punt

McCarthy was troubled by his hamstring but has returned to training.

Not sure if we’re getting the full story about Walters. He said it was a secondary problem after his knee surgery a couple of months back. First his calf was mentioned and then he himself said it was both achilles causing him trouble.

The cut of Stephen Ward.

I think our boys look very smart indeed.

Walters continuing to train on his own, all remaining squad members currently taking part in ball drills.

my contact and friend of @TreatyStones who sits on the FAI board of directors has told me he may not feature at all , let alone start v sweden
Cillian Sheridan on standby, who is seething as he is on the lash in Ayia Napa

Ward looks like a fella who should be in a grey tracksuit pants hanging around outside a Spar in Ballybough

I sometimes chat to Hoolahan’s oul lad in our local in Ballybough.

We’ve a nice mix of ruffians and poshos and roasters in the squad. And as @Bandage pointed out above, they’re all in the 'RA. Like me; now I’m aligned against the Kinahans.

If Ward was the same age in the 80’s he’d have a mustache. He has a face made for one
