[imtommygunn]

There wasn't much between wales Scotland and us. Scotland blew euro 2012. We had managers who may have played defensive football but had a structure that works.

It's been a disgrace. And some of the players, and I will name them Matt Doherty, Tanguy Ndombele, Dele Alli and Davinson Sanchez were shocking. They should be ashamed of their performance and should not wear a Spurs shirt again.

It worked short term until it stopped working.

So says Jamie O Hara who won what in his career? 1 league Cup.

It wasn't that short term. Got to two euros. Problem was the standard of player dropped a lot rather that style of football.

One of the excuses I have seen a few times regarding the state of the Irish team relates to changes in the EPL which mean it is harder for players to make it in England. Surely that would also apply to Wales and Scotland.

The performances against Portugal should give them some confidence going into that campaign. Kenny needs to do well either way

But none of our players play route one at club level. Go down to your park and watch the kids, it's all passing from the back. Even the LoI has ditched direct play. Trap and MON were trying to get limited players to play an alien style. Kenny at least is trying to get them to play how they know.

But crucially with him actually living here he can influence how the elite kids play and in what formation like a club manager does. The days of a manager based overseas flying in 2 days before a game and home 2 days after is gone.

I see on Twitter that Shamrock Rovers will be the furthest team south in 2022 Premier division. The only cities represented are Dublin and Derry, with no Munster teams at all.

Waterford created their own mess sacking Bircham earlier in the week.
Need Cork City to rise again and get back into the Premier

It should be a good Cup final tomorrow between Bohemians and Pats.. Bohemians have some tidy players, Devoy, Tierney, Burt, Kelly, Forrester for Pats is excellent
A good interview with the 2 Captains https://t.co/2CaVyFMugH?amp=1

Looks like the owner was pressuring managers to play his sons. Bircham told them they weren't needed next season and was gone in an hour.

40,000 tickets sold, record for an FAI cup final is 41,000. First time 2 Dublin clubs have played in 21 years, so that will cause a bump.
