Irish soccerball nil - That boy Jinky will save us (Part 2)

Smallbone scores to put Southampton 2-0 after being lucky not to pick up a second yellow card 2 mins earlier

Ferguson whipped early again.

Heā€™s the best player weve produced since Robbie Keane but he is farcically overrated for his age and what heā€™s done. If he goes on to have a 7 or 8 year premier League career as a starting striker for anyone heā€™ll be doing really really well. Talk of him starring for one of the big clubs or being the new haaland/Harry kane is silly.

Young Moran in against Winks, NDidi and Dewsberry Hall here now. Never seen him play. If he can do something today he must be good. Leicester look too goodfor this level.

Looks a fine creative/technical player, probably needs to tell that Smodics lad playing up front to fuck off though, he is on at him the whole time.

Smozdics can play for us as well

Heā€™s only gone and done it and kept a clean sheet!!

:heart_eyes:

Whatā€™s going on with this Connor O Riordan fella?

Ogbene just laid one on a plate for Luton and centre forward butchered it from 2 yards out

Ferguson whipped early again. He looked laboured. He definitely isnā€™t fully fit

Yeah they can now pull him from the international squads now too

Sammie Szmodics finally called up, Connolly injured.

Just got round to looking this lad up after all the talk about him. A 28 year old granny rule man whoā€™s spent his whole career in league 1 and 2 and is on a recent run of decent form in the championship. Wtf. With all the talk I thought he was some hot shot of a young lad who came up through the ranks here with Eastern european parents. Another smallbone. These lads are ten a penny and never make a bit of difference

mark kinsella didnā€™t get a cap until he was 26, having knocked around in lower leagues, granted he wasnā€™t a granny rule man. aldridge didnā€™t make his debut until 28 Iā€™m sure and was at Oxford at the time

And they didnā€™t realise Ray Houghton was eligible until they went and watched Aldridge play for Oxford.

I certainly donā€™t think we are in any position currently to be disrespecting the ā€˜lower leaguesā€™

If Sammie goes on to be one of our best ever players and a key player on one of the best ever English club sides thatā€™d be great. I doubt he will though. My point was more about the level of clamour there was to get him in. He wonā€™t be any better than what we have and nothing in his career so far suggests he will.

No Finn Azaz. Spock out

We may as well give Jeff Hendrick another 25 caps altogether then

Youā€™re not exactly staking out Nostradamus territory with this prediction. Heā€™s worth a spot on sustained Championship form at least

7 goals in 12 games in the chanpionship suggest he wonā€™t be better than will keane, aaron connolly or callum robinson?
