Away and shite Doherty.
Just give Andy Moran a go. He couldn’t be worse
Outside midfield it’s not too bad
Is Robbie Brady injured?
FotF Gav to the rescue:

Thats awful timing for Ogbene, finally getting his shot in the Prem. He’ll be a huge loss to Ireland, his directness and speed causes teams all sorts of bother
Id say he’s won at least ten motms for Ireland taking on Jonny walters mantle. Id love to actually see the stats on who has won that award over the last few years.
He got his shot last season which got him the move to Ipswich
Could’ve been worse, he just signed a 4 year deal so is financially secure at least.
Would like to see a bit of Azaz and Moran in the Finland game.
That some slap in the puss for the Hatters footixi
Festy the wing back listed as a forward?!
Tbf we don’t exactly play with forwards anyway
Travers has looked like an absolute bombscare anytime I’ve seen him but seems to be doing well for Bournemouth lately
He’s back

Great to have the Doc’s experience back. A hardy soldier who always gives 100%. He’ll set the standards in the dressing room which will drive the whole group.
Motherfucker.
I was expecting a retirement not a recall.
That prick wont go quietly.
He sums up what is an issue with soccer in Ireland imo. Obviously an incredibly talented and (at one point) professional and hard working individual to make it in literally the best league in the worlds most popular sport. I mean off the scale stuff in terms of achievement and how many achieve it really. But his demeanour, body language not to mind the actual effort he puts in are so far below what anyone in a top level GAA and rugby team would even dare to display never mind be let get away with by management, fellow players or fans.
You could sneer away at the level of those two sports in relation to top level soccer but it is a problem for perception when the general sports fan watches all three.
Id say the fact that there is no loyalty to a team or club at underage level and the goal always being to move to a different country has something to do with it and a lot of lads miss out on that important element of team sports which is giving your all for the jersey you are wearing.
Are you saying he has “notions”? That he doesn’t have humility? That he would fail the All Blacks’ “no dickheads” policy? That he’s not the sort of person that would sweep the sheds?
