Scotland v Ireland, Saturday - 7.45pm

The Manchester United midfielder is pants.

Liam Brady is fairly positive that tells a lot. His default position would be to be very sceptical of lad like kenny with a 10 year old travellers haircut who wouldn’t kick doors of a Halloween night and played right full in the united churches league division 2B.

It was Egan who went to sleep for their first.

He could have joined @Julio_Geordio on the couch if Doherty hadn’t practically crossed the ball himself

The problem is that the new CEO seems to be a man who has zero ambition or creativity. So if/when we move on from Spock it will be another yellow pack replacement brought in.

We set up well defensively in Portugal?

We’re going in the right direction. A bit reminiscent of Mick McCarthy’s first tenure even if we’re a good bit behind where we were then, but we’re starting from a lower base than then.

Collins was marking no one also. Shape just seemed all wrong

I don’t think there is a viable alternative who’d want it.

Are you trying to get a delaney love in going you rascal

Collins was right of the three centre backs. He had to go to Christie once Doherty turned his arse and let him past him.

Egan got a lovely goal but he was culpable in both theirs.

Collins to the centre of the back 3 might as well happen now

Im that annoyed i couldn’t stomach the post match.

What is the consensus

That aside, the new CEO is pretty poor. Still no flagship sponsor for the mens team and he is the gig 18 months and his supposed strength/main experience is on the commercial side of things.

Friendliest against tin pot sides like Andorra and Malta strike me if a man phoning it in.

All he wants on his cv is that he secured a major tournament/finals to come to Ireland

Sure the last fella fucking broke the FAI. Nobody would want to sponsor them

Sickening thing is we are a better side than Scotland that much is clear watching both games, they are close to 18 months ahead of us development wise too.

I wasn’t watching but it seems a couple of lads made a couple of cock-ups, ball watching or not marking their men. Spock does the best he can ( he’s limited) but it’s hardly his fault if a player nods off. He is, I’d imagine, a mild mannered guy but some of these lads their holes kicked. This is beyond Spock’s remit.

Not anymore hes not.He was brutal before 10 fags,tbf.

Mentioned a disallowed goal twice now. Come on

The annoying thing is they are a likeable bunch of lads, it makes it harder to see performance not getting rewarded

You’d be really pulling for lads like ogbene and mclean. Absolute honesty of effort.

You see what Doherty did there then tonight. Pure and utter laziness and bad attitude. He needs to be fucked off now for good. That isn’t the first time he’s fucked us

Kenny still thinks he is managing kids or Dundalk I feel. Its as if they’re set up to play away against some nomad outfit in Lithuania one week and the Serbia u20s the next.

I wouldnt be bothered so much about losing games like this eve if you could see development but nothing really has changed. Our keeper, Collins, Doherty and Egan are experienced Premiership players but we still concede poorish goals. And I’ve yet to see him do anything with the midfield up thatd suggest we could score more goals whatever about attacking.

He had a thankless task in rebuilding and I feel his heart is in the right place but these guys need a more technical coach and a harder manager to get them there in my opinion.

While we should beat Armenia, i wouldnt be shocked to see a draw say. That says an awful lot about where this group are and theyve been there for 2 years or so.
