Connolly's goals were almost as good as his hybrid Galway/English/Dutch accent.

Eh? Is he David Connolly's son?

Just watched the highlights on YouTube. His second goal is a cracker.
Some good talent coming through.

No he's from Galway but he's picked up a definite English twang.

Good day for Ireland in premier league. 4 scorers, good lot of game time for our players and declan rice gives away a penalty and eventually loses to crystal palace.

Connolly brought into the squad then. That's one thing, another is actually playing him.

[Boycey]

I'm thrilled that Declan Rice lost 

Listening to Newstalk a while this afternoon they were talking about Connolly like he was the second coming, Jaysis we love to load the pressure on...

Its weak management in my opinion. I assume he has watched Connolly more than any of us. He scores two goals and that forces a total u turn on his original call.

It's also on the back of ronan Curtis getting injured tbf. If he's going to be playing first team club in the next few months, it's no harm having him around the squad for these couple of games

McGoldrick is injured too. Connolly will be a big loss for the U21s. They  are playing Italy on Thursday. They have never qualified for the European u21 championship before, but started this campaign well

[Capt Pat]

I thought Mick MacArthy might have called up James MacArthy who started for Crystal Palace after coming back after injury yesterday.

[JPGJOHNNYG]

On a side note. Are the English lads walking off tonight if there are any anti-Catholic chants by fans in the stadium. Asking for a friend.

[Baile Brigín 2]

Good to see full houses for the women and u21 games, and both teams competing with the best. Potentially huge cup final crowd too.

[Capt Pat]

Why didn't Mick start Connolly instead of Collins. When did Collins last score 2 goals against a champions league team? Connolly should have started imho.
