Why the hate for Ger Canning on here?

He might phone it in at times but on the big days he’s always top class.

His call on the 2017 football All Ireland was one of the best ever.

Staring at the captain’s armband on screen and still guesses the wrong player.

He doesn’t know his arse from his elbow.

The Russian manager has a real Bond villain look about him.

He’s Viktor Boskovic from The Hard Man in Roy of the Rovers.

Ger seems to be under the impression that Russia qualified for this tournament by playing all their matches at home.

Why are you putting yourself through this @Rocko ? That would actually spoil my enjoyment of the game

I’m watching on Saorview for temporary technical reasons.

Noticeable that Denmark have worn three different shirts in their three group games so far.

There was a red with white sleeves Arsenal-type version in the opening game v Finland followed by a plainer red effort v Belgium. Tonight’s white jersey seems to be the reverse of the strip from the Belgium game.

The all red-strip against Belgium on Thursday was lovely. Added to the sense of occasion.

I’m enjoying Ger sprinkling random facts into his commentary. He’s really getting the most of the briefing pack UEFA publish for each fixture. Thomas Delaney’s Irish forefathers, Simon Kjaer’s 8 professional clubs in his career to date, Kasper Schmeichel’s cap tally versus his father and so on.

Lions tour bigger than the euro’s, that gave me a good laugh.

You’d be sent off for that in rugby.

Big Dzuyba is an inspiration.

Lovely Danish goal.

That Fernades is a top full back for Russia.

Nice hit

Some goal.
