FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[snoopdog]

No goalscorers. A draw is always the most likely result from ireland.

[Itchy]

Every youngfella who plays the game is told to play to the whistle. Don't stop playing until you hear it. The only thing wrong with what Hendrick did was he wasted a glorious chance.

That's only true if he didn't realize what was taking place if he did it's a cnuts trick.

Better tonight but still some awful crap being played against an equally poor team

I do t know, it was woeful. Denmark ball retention is miles ahead of ours, they surely had 70% possession in 2nd half. Even when we pass it we end up going back to the keeper. Robinson added a bit of attacking when he came on. The players aren't there but at the same time they are not being set up to even try and play

Who sets the prices for these matches? Lots of empty seats tonight. Was going to take the wee fella down for the wales game on tuesday but then I seen it was 70 euro for adult ticket and 20 for an u16 in the lower level and I quickly changed my mind. Ireland are hard to watch at the best of times without being ripped off for the privilege.
We're always quick to bash the gaa but the 5euro ticket for u16s in croke park even up to and including all ireland semis is brilliant value compared to other sports.

A season ticket is the best value for you. €110 to renew for 5 games. Kids price is €45. For the Denmark game they were giving free tickets away to every kids team that they could that were affiliated to FAI in order to get more bums on seats

i was at the game on saturday and by god it was a boring experience. Ive seen many a poor game this past while but that was the worst. we are devoid of any attacking presence at all in the team yet we persist with playing shane long who doesnt look like he will ever score again. Good at holding the ball up but whats the point when the rest of the team are so far off him.

Looks like having a shit squad is finally catching up with Michael O'Neill also.

You can only rely on luck for so long.

Theyshould have had at least a draw last night. Had more than enough chances. Hit post 3 times and missed a good few other chances. They should have beat Bosnia at home as well

scraping the bottom of the barrel for excuses now..

And as manager surely to f**k he can dictate what size the home pitch is and make it as narrow as legally possible which makes you think why has he not done that then the f**king loon

O'Neill has been dialing it in from day 1.

Happy to collect the wedge.

Same as the suits in the FAI

Chickens have been coming home to roost for a while and the standard of the team is the result.
Would another manager be any better though ?

If you look at Dunphy analysing the BIG over the last 15 years on various youtube videos for Staunton, Kerr, Trap etc they all have a fairly similar trajectory.

Agree on the above norn iron  had  loads of good chances. They will likely beat us in the friendly next month.

This could be the end of O Neill and Keane

[mouview]

Is Cyrus Christie physically capable of passing the ball forwards?

[Itchy]

Yes a full back asked to play midfield. Why is it that we can start passing and attacking as soon as we go behind. It's a mentality in players set by the manager.
