Took the child to this last night.  I hope it hasn't put him off.  Desperately poor stuff at times.  Crying out for a play maker and a decent goalscorer. Robinson was doing rightly and was hooked off for some reason.

The result is all that counts in a game like this. We need to beat them at home now to take advantage.

Anybody think Liam Brady is a waffler, who's just there because he's always been there?

Absolutely not.

I think having seen a bit of the women's world cup so far, some of it has shown more quality than the Gibraltar match the other night.

Certainly better looking footballers

Applied for Dublin group games too. As far as I know, if Ireland qualify they will only have 2 games in Dublin, as will play Spain in Bilbao. Could end up getting tickets for 1 of the 3 games and it be the one not involving Ireland.

Not like Keane to do that.

Our captain and top striker both got extremely soft yellow cards in the last couple of minutes from a balloon of a ref, that rules them both out of the semi (2 yellow card rule). Doesn't do a lot for our chances!

There's a good interview with legendary Irish soccer player Gerry Armstrong on OTB you tube version, modestly titled
"I probably would've got an All-Star"  Gerry Armstrong's remarkable GAA background.

Gerry also reminisces about that time an all-ireland selection played Brazil and stated that most all the leading NI internationals (incl Danny Blanchflower), would have  been au fait with a UI team.

Did some work with the IFA a number of years ago around the topic of healthy eating within local clubs - Big Gerry was an ambassador of it and an absolute gent. Originally from west belfast and has much gaa history. was more than happy to stand for photos with one of my clubs jerseys on.
