That was positive stuff. First half wasnât very inspiring but Ireland were marginally the better side before the disastrous goal concession. Great response to turn that around & win given the context of the team lacking confidence & on a terrible run. The second half was front foot, aggressive & full of purpose. Players actually well drilled & seemingly knowing their jobs - cohesive in possession & a good defensive shape. It also looks like the manager has made decisive calls on a few players after all the criticism about delegating to Sheasy. Scales & Brady the standouts for me & Festy with a fantastic cameo.

Tony OâD is an absolute fucking wanker - âwas it as big a moment as Lille?â
Brady to his credit gave a gravelly âyeahâ

Itâs gas how much better he is at interviews than Kenny whoâd be pausing and stammering away.

Before @thedancingbaby time but Scales would remind you of a young Paul McGrath.

Savage win for our boys
I winced when he asked that. Yeah Tony. Scoring a winner in a Nations League game is comparable to scoring a goal to beat Italy and advance to the knockout stages at a major tournamentđ

Were playing with 9 or 10 men for a long time, donât turn back now.
Spock will look back and rue letting himself be bigdogged in different ways but chiefly by Doc. Semus in other ways but the team hasnât carried a threat down the right in 5 years.

Thatâs an RTE thing of a certain generation, you donât see it anywhere else. We should enjoy it as we wonât see it any more. How could a 30 year plus veteran be that bewildered, he doesnât like soccer and never did. God bless him and I donât mind him but itâs some charmed life. Imagine having the stones to attack OâNeill and Trap and come out with that type of question. If it was in England, theyâd think he had dementia.

Itâs lovely to see the soccer fans so giddy. Itâs been ages 
A win over Finland in the nations league pool stages is not to be sniffed at
Heimir wouldâve needed well in excess of 500 points to obtain a place on a dentistry course here. I can only assume that Finlandâs much vaunted education system is even more competitive. Heâd do a much better French or Irish oral than Spock anyway.
Edit: I was so bewildered that I briefly forgot he was Icelandicđ Time for sleep.
