FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[weareros]

Crap at penalties as expected but overall should have been able to win in 120 mins of football. Northern Ireland have a good chance of beating Slovakia and then being based in Dublin.

Northern Ireland won on penalties. Republic of Ireland should have kept Mick McCarthy on for that play off

Yes they should.

Yes they should.

agreed

For all the possesion they didnt do a lot, had a couple of great chances and bottled it. Lets be honest that slovakia team were sh1te and we still couldnt win. The north with their far more limited resources get past a good bosnia team. A pretty dreadfull start all round from kenny

Rumours going around social media that Connolly and Idah missed out due to an FAI administrative error when submitting the squad list.
Nothing is impossible in FAIland but presumably it's not true given there are two confirmed Covid cases in the Irish backroom team.

Complete bullshit.

Glenn whelan would have made the difference

A good performance from the boys in green tonight and it is only the euros. I want to go to the world cup. I wonder if Kenny is the man to bring us there.

Yeah, have to say I enjoyed watching Ireland trying to play football and try to score goals from play rather than set pieces.  That's the first time Ireland have tried to play football since Mick McCarthy's first stint as Ireland Manager. Which is 18 years ago!

Disappointing to lose on penalties and really should have punished Slovakia. I think NI will beat them

[fearbrags]

Connolly and Idah not on the bench.

Any one hear a  rumor  that  Aaron Connelly and Adam  Idah  were not included  because some mess up from The FAI not submitting the team properly on  UEFA system apparently  not including   the 1st two names on the list

[Orior]

The only positive out of this is that we don't have to play the occupied six statelet.

Bullshit story apparently

Aye, as getting bate by the GAWA would be even more embarrassing

[Itchy]

Hourihanes miss was unforgivable  a pro thats can't score a tap in for 3 yards with his weaker foot. Very disappointing to go out when we had enough chances to score 1.
