Ireland v Switzerland - Euro 2020 Qualifier

Just wait until Stephen Kenny tries the same craic with Eire

their next five fixtures are

Burnley (H), Newcastle (A), Chelsea (A), Spurs (H), Villa (A)

I’d be very surprised if they got 3 points from that run

As I said, we’ll see

see what, I said I think they’ll be relegated.

Do you think they won’t be?

all the lads who were pining for Andy Reid and beautiful football will be calling for his head after a few tonkings

You seem mad for a big debate. I don’t know if they’ll get relegated, I don’t see the point in a big debate about things that will have a definitive answer in a few months or a year or whatever.

I think that British and Irish football people are very conservative in general, and don’t think that just because a lesser team plays more attack minded that they will get relegated

Stevens looked like a lad plucked from the stand in the 4 games to date. Seems to be going well for the Blades alright.

:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

you’re a gas cunt. You’ve spent a good year and a half debating the relative merits of Messi for Argentina and Barcelona against the Nordie chap

Year and a half? An awful lot longer than that

Debating about subjective things with no right answer is exactly what debating is about. There’s no point in debating about something which will have a definitive conclusion to it soon

ok so you won’t be debating the title race, relegation battle or who will or won’t win the Champions League, or any future competitions because, sure, someone will.

It’s subjective until it’s over.

I rarely get into big debates about those kind of things. I might give an opinion but I’d rarely get into big arguments about those kind of debates.

You seem very rattled that I won’t get into an argument with you here for some reason

I’m not rattled lad…

you came in swinging with a wildly inaccurate statistic/fact and have been trying to weasel out since…

you have opinions but you won’t debate… right…

The self-identified “progressives” in Oirish football are like reverse Brexiteers in their pie in the sky aspirations

They think Eire should be able to play beautiful, successful, classic passing football

They don’t identify how it could be done, except by clamouring for the selection of a cause celebre du jour who is usually overweight or can’t run properly, and plays for Brentford, Doncaster, Gillingham or the likes

Then they think the Eire team should be made up of League of Ireland players

They don’t explain how that could ever happen, because reality sort of intrudes when you think about the idea for more than about 1.8 seconds

They dress up their ideas as “progressive”, that “there is a native, ball playing indigenous Irish football culture which always stood in opposition to England’s kick and rush” - but actually in reality they’re more like the Brexiteers than they’d ever admit, because they too are harking back to an imagined golden past - that imagined golden past is basically Johnny Giles playing knock up games in Ormond Square or Gloucester Diamond

I thought they had 6 points rather than 4, sorry for being wildly inaccurate. I simply made a comment that it’s harsh to say they’ll get relegated based on what they did against Man City. You have taken this very badly for some reason

That’s a smashing post

Ah lovely.

When you haven’t a fucking clue what you’re taking about, play the man.

I don’t know what you’re on about here. I made a fairly neutral response to your original post and since then you’ve been determined to have an argument for some reason

you made an incorrect point, that had no relevance to my original post. I responded asking what you were shiteing about and you are still here.

How they played against City is how Potter plays, 3 at the back, splitting and coming short from the goalkeeper with two deep midfielders and Maupay up front on his own.

Grow a fucking pair of balls and answer if you think that will keep them up this season, playing out from the back with Dan Burn, Lewis Dunk and some other lump

A load of waffle as per usual.

what’s the score?
