fuck it, it’s depressing looking at that squad
O’kneel was right ratty in that post training presser apparantly going by the LOI journos on twiter
there’s just a horrible athmosphere around the whole thing
I’d love to see O’Neill be brave, in what is essentially a friendly after all, and try to counteract our lack of attacking threat with a 4-3-3 with Walters, McClean and AN other in the front 3. Push Wales onto the back foot from the off and let the lads press and kick their defenders all night. They are an average enough side after all.
The safe move, which is what O’Neill will do, is a 4-5-1 with probably two holding midfielders, concede possession entirely and hoofball to Walters or McClean with absolutely no one up in support and hope we can steal a goal by sheer dumb luck.

bang on
Meyler and Browne will go in there and do that
christ just seeing those 2 head out there and you know what you are getting
in this case Arter is a big loss as he is the kind of dirty fucker you want in a scrap like this
He’s a cunt that should have been gotten rid of on the numerous occasions they had the chance to do so.
Give it to Stephen Kenny. At least he’ll play ball in the right way

We got the wrong O’Neill
What exactly has happened with Arter, Keane, Walters and Rice?
Keane tries to have a go at after, rice jumped in,
Ever since Gary Breens mate battered him Keane has it in for the London Irish
What exactly has happened with Arter, Keane, Walters and Rice?
I think Keane chased after Arter in a leprechaun costume and accused Rice of stealing his pot of gold.
also- id dump Coleman and start that lad from Bohs Doherty who is at Wolves, see the attacking positions he gets into? way too adventourous for MON tho,
This is mainly because he’s in a back three and needs to get forward though. He’d barely leave his own half playing for Ireland
Meyler I hope doesn’t start,an awful player.
There’s an argument to be made for blocking Cark cunts from any involvement with the Irish soccer team.
Grannys, Saipan (Keane’s general cuntishness), Denis Irwins people skills. Enough is enough pal.
“Denis Irwin’s people skills…”
“Denis Irwin’s people skills…”
Not to mention the whole Dutch problem cc @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy
MIck McCarthy sussed the cunts early .
2 srfc players in the u19s
Could someone give me a short history of this Arter / Keane / Walters thing? What happened?
Bumped for all the other Wexicans who need answers.
The shockingly regressing Jeff Hendrick the only EPL player of the midfield and forwards.
