Republic of Ireland v Georgia 12/10/19 - Switzerland 15/10/19

Agreed

We never really looked like conceding. Randolph had very little to do.

We created 4 or 5 decent chances while playing very laboured football.

You managed 15 paragraphs on an irrelevance all the same!

Also, of Joanne can get rid of brolly, why doesn’t someone get rid of Whelan

Jack Byrne as badly needed

Duffy and Egan never looked in bother really. They got a bit of joy out wide but had fuck all to threaten the two boys.

Strange comments from Duff, especially, saying we were lucky not to lose.

That was his summary.

Which one?

Connolly really sharp, showed the vulnerability of their defence when he ran at them. Collins was hardly gonna run at them, they like big beefy target man and we played into their hands. Connolly really stretched them late on. 2 years time when Parrott can come on to the squad with a bit of experience can’t come quick enough

He’s trying to make out international football is pointless.

Great atmosphere in the Parkemstadium

The Danish Anthem. It’s like something you’d hear in a pub at closing time.

Incorrect. He is contextualizing the banality of Republic of Ireland football and specifically the international qualifying campaigns. His tone captures the drab monochrome nature of our performances in these campaigns and hidden in the subtext lies a yearning for something, someone, a moment of magic from somewhere, an Irish Maradonna, an Aaron Connolly perhaps. Anything to reinvigorate the passion he feels for this team, and indeed for the game itself.

He is articulating how it should not be a chore watching Ireland play but so often it can feel like it is. An outstanding piece of prose from @Sidney once again, no surprise it will fly over the head of most simpletons on here.

Mick needs to go

No mate he’s trying to make out international football for ages and has been claiming everyone’s lost interest in it. There’s a very clear and obvious reason for this. Think about it.

Great hit my Xhaka.

Good atmosphere and cut to this

Was listening to the off the ball lads watching this earlier. Appears Alan Connolly missed two sitters did he?

Another fine save by Schmeichel

Football man Johnny Ward is fuming

What a fucking clown. He described Ireland’s one nil win versus wales a few years back as embarrassing.
