FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Kidder81]

Just saw the save, was very good but not even right in the corner so some people getting carried away (as usual)

[Capt Pat]

I will be a happy man if we play as well in the remaining qualifying games. We might even qualify from the group of death.

Tony O'Donoghue is an awful gobshite!

Those 4 goals the Dutch shipped could be very important at the end

[From the Bunker]

Tony O'Donoghoe gave Kenny a tough interview there. Sure we did not win, sure we did not score, sure the goal came from a mistake. But f*cks sake give the man a break, he got a plethora of stuff right tonight.

Was a world class save, the whole French team knew it at the end too.

Kenny got that bang on. He can't legislte for Cullen teeing up their full back and poor set piece delivery until the end.

Play like that against the Dutch and who.knows?

O'Donoghoe throwing Josh Cullen under the bus, real classy

[Captain Scarlet]

For the most part they played abut when they could and hit tye channels too. The poxy goal was one of the few times that they tried to overplay it.

Lots of positive hard running and backing each other up. No lads hiding at all. Ogbene was awesome.

We still don't have world beaters, but we are where we are and left it all out there.

Did Ireland score? For 90 odd minutes Ireland had chances to win a game and didn't so the team collectively cost us Ireland the game

A big mistake by Cullen for the goal, but I thought O'Shea was worse. I'm sure either Egan or Coleman would have blocked that had they been in O'Shea's position, rather than turn away from it.

A pity it's so long until the next game. And we've been done solid re playing in Greece in the heat of June (France and Holland visit Greece in Oct/Nov).

We seem to play better against the better opposition. I think Mikey Johnston could be an important player for us, he has a trick in him to get past players, can see him setting up chances.

Ogbene was super!

[seafoid]

The noise from the crowd was fabulous. I hope this match was a turning point for Stephen Kenny. It is really important to back up this game with a performance against Greece the next day.

When you play out from the back you can expect mistakes like Cullen's, sometimes you get away with it.
