Thereā€™s certainly something brewing. Trust the process

I saw echoes of Dortmund-Celtic there. As long as you know WHY it went so wrong (ā€œI know the reasonsā€ - cc Davy Fitzgerald) & HOW to fix it, then you just need to take the heat, take your medicine but you have to respond the next time. As much as the scoreline the other night was fortunate in our favour that wasnā€™t a fair reflection tonight. The underdog side away from home needs to get the breaks & we didnā€™t get any. I liked that Heimir didnā€™t look for excuses or try to sugarcoat it, like Iā€™m doing. He said it was embarrassing & I expect theyā€™ll be combing over it on Stats Bomb tomorrow. As @Tank said, our lack of centre midfield options really restricts us (Mad Dog Molumbyā€™s slack pass was a game changer as much as you donā€™t want to hone in on one thing). I think weā€™ll be trying to be a high tempo, hard running, fairly direct side because we canā€™t really be a passing one.

Any nuns get their flat tires changed at least?

What a national embarrassment soccer is and forever will be. The kindness of the IRFU letting them play in Rugbys stadium the only thing they have going for them.

Itā€™s a shame we canā€™t bring in a couple of players from Brazil and Argentina to fill the gaps that we canā€™t produce domestically.

Theyā€™re down in Gort boxing chickens

Finland played us off the park pal

Yeah but theyā€™ve been there for years to no avail. Our immigration policy of the early 2000s is really paying dividends now with the likes of ogbene and festy and rhasidat etc. I think we should send scouts to brazil to make sure the brazilian folk coming over to box chickens and and get boxed delivering chicken boxes are from good football stock.

I dont think they did pal. They had a ten minute spell where they got through a couple of times. We defended well during that period and rode our luck. We scored a very good goal and came close to another very good goal.

Itā€™s still shite whichever way itā€™s spun .

Weā€™ve just come off two wins against Finland, when is the last last time we even won two games in a row?

Tonight was going fine until that crazy 10-15 minute period in the second half.

Iā€™m spinning it like the pottery wheel scene in Ghost. HH is Demi Moore and Jack Charlton is Patrick Swayze. Together they will remodel and reinvigorate irish football in a sexy manner.

Iā€™m onboard with this

Was helping the wee lassie with her homework. Otherwise Iā€™d have been on hand to call in a bomb scare at, 78 minutes. Hun bastards. Nothing roast beef footballers with names like wadkins and bowing. They cant even win 5 nil with a bit of style and panache By fuck i hate them.

Iā€™d question the patriotism of any Irishman who didnt want to see someone go studs up over the top of the ball on conor gallagher after he tried his ā€˜rabonaā€™. Cunt.

That tackle by scales on kane just before HT was worth tuning in for. A few lads putting their hands up for the role of ā€˜bastardā€™
