Ireland vs Moldova & Wales v Ireland - World Cup Qualifiers 06/10/2017 & 09/10/2017

Being widely despised and ridiculed really seems to be getting to you lately.

Calm down and chin up, mate.

I’m part of a global media empire pal.

TFK :wave:

And boom goes the dynamite

Christ I really hope Wes retires after this campaign. The time dedicated to discussing him is completely disproportionate to what is merited and is tiresome at this stage

I’m just going to switch over bang on kick off, couldn’t be listening to it.
O’Neill doesn’t rate him in away games. He hasn’t rated him at any point.
That ain’t going to change, particularly now that he’s older and slower and shitter than he was when he first took over.
You can reopen the debate if we don’t qualify but jaysus we can’t have the debate every fucking match.

Sadlier is a pain in the hole.

For some reason I just want to punch him in the face when I see him.

Dunphy is half right when he says that Meyler and Murphy not starting earlier in the campaign is part of the reason for our struggles and they should have been utilised better away to Georgia. While Wes is a nice footballer he isnt the transformational player that Sadlier and Dunphy feel he is.

Sadlier with a stupid point with no context that he shouldn’t have played v Moldova and should have been saved for Wales without factoring in that McClean and Walters were suspended and Walters were injured so options limited. The same fella would be whinging if Arthur started instead of him Friday night

Coleman is an alright sort. His da from Wicklow?

Wes is the only lad in the team though that can play pin point accurate, attacking passes
Edit. Passes in general

I disagree. We tend to pass the ball sometimes when Wes plays and we never do when he doesn’t. That’s transformational

Also O’Donoghue’s question was very leading about the fatigue and O’Neill just went with it to shut him up.

I would like to see Hoolahan in the team I have to say.

Did Sadlier curse or something? What was Maloney apologising for?

I believe he said “Christ”

He has nice feet and can pick a pass. He isn’t a lad who continually gets on the ball and dictates things. He is a nice footballer, nothing more. I would have no problem with him starting but it isn’t a national disgrace that he isn’t. Brady is a far better all round player but has been badly treated by management and has been asked to play a different role every time he plays when the midfield should be built around getting the best out of him but that is never discussed. A similar thing could be said of Hendrick, constantly asked to play different roles.

Given the type of game it is going to be he is likely to be more effective off the bench especially as he isnt a 90 minute footballer and we dont have much else to change the game if have to chase it

Its not about how good or effective a player he is. When he plays we generally play better. Its that simple. Brady isn’t a central player in my opinion. I’d play him on the right cutting in on his left

How many lads on here have beards? All bar Clarke on the Éire team

That is because Wes normally starts the home matches against the lesser sides as opposed to big games

Good to see the Welsh producer spot celebrity Bernard Brogan in the crowd there.
