Portugal v ROI- WCQ 2022

A dumpier Ryan Babel

The Donie Ryan of international football.

Honestly mate will you not get so riled up. On a discussion board people are liable to disagree with you.

And yes, my key point is that your response is too harsh and completely unreasonable.

I’m only arguing my point back on it.

I don’t have the same view on it as you and you can’t force me to.

You sound like a fella that has only a passing interest in it

I’ll call it as I see it. You can argue if you want. Or not.

Don’t come swinging and bitch when I argue back

You’re the one that accused me of being belligerent and came back with personal insults just because I pointed out that your response was unreasonable.

that’s what I responed to mate. If you expect me to just roll over for you, you are talking to the wrong man.

do you expect to just post what you want without getting any back?

I’m surprised at you who’s played the game at a fairly high level I believe calling fellas who have made it as professional players in one of the most competitive leagues in the world and also got picked for their country as ‘shit players’. They’re shit in comparison to the Portuguese world stars if that’s what you mean ?
That chat is always something you hear from gaa or rugby lads who score a few goals up at 5 a side and think any old dum dum could play soccer.

Ok pal, you showed me.

is it the language that upsets lads?

poor players then, by any international standard.

I’m sick of looking at professional players who won’t attempt to trap a ball on the turn, or are so limited they can’t pass 5 yards with their bad foot, or can’t or won’t track runs, or have the courage to play the ball forward, or who’s second touch is a tackle.
Players who will purposely hide in midfield instead of show for the ball.
Players who haven’t the composure to put the ball in the goal from 8 yards.

That’s what the gaffer is dealing with. Who’s made it at the very top level that I’ve called shit?

If we play any European team, they are generally more technically proficient than us, and they are generally more willing to express themselves on the ball.

If you play international football you get judged at that level.

If half the team aren’t playing regular matches they should be fresh enough.

Right back and left back are problem positions going forward. Coleman nearly done. Doherty can switch to right back but no left back then.

Do Ireland have many players at clubs that would win regularly?or is always teams struggling ?

Theyve got in bed with Kenny.

I genuinely thought it would be the opposite because he isn’t media friendly in the least

The hitched to Stephen Kenny on the basis he will play “good football” & “the right way”

They can’t be seen to row back now .

Can Kenny get us a point in this group before we go out and hand him a new contract?

There’s no sympathy in this game for anybody.

@Arthur banging on about praising lads just because they are squad players in the EPL - yet the postman and milkman from Gibraltar are technically more sound… countries with players in much weaker leagues usually play a much better and technical brand of ball … but we have to accept our lot because they play in England - that’s what you’re up agin here.
