United fans must be starting to realize what a pup they’ve been sold by now. Ronaldo can hardly walk

Portugal will have to bring on that Ronaldo lad for the second half

Sagres is a lovely drop of ale. See it advertised on the dugout there.

And they will still have Bruno Fernandes in reserve.

Ronaldo can still break into a small sprint when he senses a handy goal chance on offer.

Some GAA timekeeping going on here.

Going to be a long long second half. Great fucking start though

Portugal might as well just hand Duffy the ball as well as chip in floaty crosses

He’ll drop back to the junior B’s with Paul McShane and let that Diallo fella who didn’t make the cut in celeb spotting do the running. They’ll win the district.

Great stuff.

Can’t wait for a bunch of unfunny cunts on twitter say Kerry could have done with John Egan last Saturday.

Obvious the ref is under orders here so Ronaldo can get his shit

There’s the makings of a proper team there.

Wow. Was not expecting that. Basically playing ten men because Ronaldo is cat. They’ve had chances, our luck is holding though.

Spock is probably the best manager in football right now.

Ronaldo’s penalty is Kluivert putting it the wrong side of the post.

Jota off the post is the Given/Staunton van Nistelrooy fiasco.

Jota wide of the post is Zenden not lifting it over Given.

O’Shea going off is Gary Kelly getting sent off.

Our name is on these three points.

Bloody forgot we are 0 from 6 points so far :see_no_evil:

6 wins in a row and we’ll be heading for Qatar.

Idah is very green too. Coleman broke away there just on half time, the ref was possibly going to blow up anyway but McGrath made a diagonal run to get completely free ahead of him down the line. It just needed a little clip from Coleman and McGrath would have been running free. The only other players forward were Idah and a defender. He should have been staying the hell away and keeping the defender occupied on the far side of the pitch but he darted across into the space McGrath was running into and took the defender with him. It could have been McGrath driving forward with Idah for support in a 2 v 1 but Idah miscontrolled the ball and the ref blew. A labourer example but I’ve noticed he does this a fair bit and doesn’t seem to make the right runs. Hopefully he’ll get there with more first team football and experience.
