FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[MayoBuck]

Commentary saying that goal is just what we deserved. Not sure about that but we'll take it

[Baile Brigín 2]

I don't think the latter is as it's not purely money why you would choose the Gaa over lol soccer but to think that throwing a load of Gaa boys who are great at Gaa onto a soccer field to play an international team would work out well is not really that sensible....

Sure could we not fire them in the rugby World Cup while we're at it - might beat the likes of Canada or Romania

I bet if you turned the tables - Kevin Morans switch from a fringe LoI player to become an AI winner proves Bohs could win Sam, he would have an aneurism.

[imtommygunn]

Yeah just a silly suggestion. Sure stick some hurlers into the hockey World Cup while we're there.

On another note I don't think the south's players have been better than the north's for a while tbh.

[Baile Brigín 2]

I can't believe James Collins gets a game for Ireland. He is as bad as David Connolly, yes David Connolly.

Are Irelands players better than Northern Irelands players? I think they are but you wouldn't know it by the results.

Even Charlton had duds. We just forgot them.

Could have been 3 or 4 down but for Bazunu tonight but in fairness Ireland showed a lot of heart and the fans stayed with them. Stephen Kelly is soccers version of Dessie Dolan on commentary, you would think we were Brazil if you were listening to him.

[Captain Obvious]

Happy for Gavin Bazunu, his error could have led to the games only goal instead his performance played a huge role in earning a point.

[BennyCake]

Who was that on co-commentary?

Exactly; for all the plaudits being thrown about with complete abandon, it was still closer to 0-5 than 1-1 for most of the game. Was it one shot we had on target in the second half? Serbs showed how to pass the ball and create chances close to goal. 

[Capt Pat]

Stephen Kelly on co commentary.

[MayoBuck]

Way over the top optimism from rte commentary. That was a complete fluke of an OG. It's a decent result but the performance was poor apart from goalkeeper and some last ditch defending.

So the exact same as every other Irish side for the last 30 years

When will a striker score a goal for Ireland. Friendlies against Andorra don't count.

Some seem to forget that Serbia are only ranked 29 and goalie prevented a hammering. We were 30 two years ago, and at 30 we were not that good. Kenny's celebration of the goal was quite embarrassing. 2 points out of 9 at home to Luxembourg (96), Azerbaijan (110), and Serbia (29) is nothing to be lepping about with arms in air.

Would you ever cop on, under pressure coach celebrates a deserved goal with coaching staff and a hugely supportive crowd, you are scraping the barrel of mock.
