Ass burgers.
A right Filbert Street feel to the Andorra stadium
Sports bras showing through the Irish jerseys
I had to laugh at Richard Sadlier saying the Ireland team lacks momentum- Richie pal, this team has the momentum of a cannonball that’s been thrown off thrown off top of the Empire State Building.
Darragh Moloney has made a few fairly bad errors here already
Dan MacDonnell would describe it as “Stephen Kenny’s philosophical outlook…”
First 5 minutes dragging already🤣
No urgency whatsoever here
Lads it’s sunny out. Don’t do this to yourselves
2 evenly matched teams by the look of it so far. Andorra having maybe slightly the better of it
Real group stage of an underage tournament vibe about the stadium and swathes of empty seats.

Pretty much the exact same of what has been seen throughout all of Kenny’s reign, bar the odd five minutes here and there against Slovakia and Serbia.
Slow, ponderous, can’t keep the ball, zero attacking threat, players shoe horned into a system they don’t look comfortable with and where ultimately we look less than the sum of our (admittedly limited) parts.
The way Kenny has put his hopes on a lad who didn’t stand out at Ipswich in League 1 just sums up his ideas. I know the squad is dire but the team look confused out there.
Dire, this is cruel to watch.
Our set up in midfield is ridiculous. Cullen drops in, then Hourihane is hiding from the ball way further up as usual and Knight appears to be playing in some kind of right winger role. We just pass it around between Cullen and the 2 centre halves for a while and then eventually have to try a hoof up from one of them which goes nowhere near our players
Parrott actually looks like our only player with an ounce of talent in fairness
That first touch from Collins just now was a disgrace
Are Curtis and Troy the wide attackers? It’s slightly unusual personal for a 4-3-3 formation.
It’s not his fault he is out there.
He’s doing his best but he is badly out of his depth, nowhere near up to this level.
