Ireland v Finland & Greece

Giant Dublin 2011 jersey flag being passed around the crowd.

Some talk that we might be reverting to three centre backs & wing backs with Troy & Szmodics more central behind Ferguson. Iā€™m not convinced. I think Szmodicsā€™ general play has been very good from his starting position on the left & heā€™s been building up to a goal, which will come tonight.

Apparently he only played on the left once for Blackburn last season. Brian Kerr is adamant that he should be in a more central position. Iā€™m not sure you get the best out of Troy by consequentially sticking him out on the wing though.

During the preview Richie Sadlier wanted Ireland to cut out errors

Canā€™t argue with that

This is a weird enough tribute

Come on lads

Iā€™d always be wary of the Greeks.

Looks like the same formation as the other night. 4-4-2 out of possession with Parrott pressing upfront with Ferguson. I still think Parrott is quite green & plays for himself a bit so itā€™ll be interesting to see if he can be disciplined.

Huge chance for Ferguson there.

Evs should be sticking thatā€¦or diving

Kelleher

One of the small fat midfielders

He was my first thought too. Him or Troy

The Greeks never liked Troy either

Fuck me, about 3 or 4 passes/ricochets went through different Irish playersā€™ legs there before Scales deflected it behind.
