FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[JoG2]

An exciting run in.

Don't see why Ireland couldn't get a draw against either team. I'd be equally as confident of a draw v Germany at home as I would Poland away. Ireland have conceded fewest goals in the group so far, it's attacking where we are lacking. If a team like Georgia can frustrate the f**k out of us and best Scotland, why can't Ireland do that v Germany or Poland?

[laoislad]

We just need a Polish Gary Mackay.
Scotland lose to Poland and we are guaranteed a playoff spot regardless of how we do against Germany or Poland for that matter.

[An Watcher]

Don't think we can criticise too much as this is the toughest group in the competition.  If the scots go one down against the poles there'll be some panic

Apres Match of the Day has been more entertaining than the game

It feels a slight bit uncomfortable seeing the Late Bill O'Herlihy being taken off so soon after passing away.

I'd say he wouldn t mind. Yer man s got him 100%

Must say I thought that was brilliant stuff altogether. Especially the Jack bits.

Apres match back to form. It was brilliant.

Great to see that hoop, Brenda Donoghue, lampooned. She gives me a pain in me Swiss.

Sadly, I remembered most of those ads in their original state

Yeah I agree I'd say he would have loved it. Who knows but maybe they asked his family was it ok.
It was very good though in fairness.
I loved the advert at the end..Don't drink and drive,but if you insist then just have two!
Was that really an advert back then? I was only 11 so don't remember.

Has après match been going throughout the euro campaign. I'm not back in Ireland much so I can't catch it?

Top class stuff. With the Apres Match lads, Oliver Callan and Mario Rosenstock we must be the best in the world at taking the piss out of ourselves.

I didn't think it was all that bad tonight. Certainly have seen worse. I firmly believe we're better than Scotland (despite the results against them) and should make 3rd place. A home draw against Germany is possible as is an away one against a (presumably) already qualified Poland. Have a feeling a point will be needed though.

Thought that apres match stuff was poor lads. Usually love watching it too

I can't see us getting anything from the last two games but hopefully the Poles will do us a favour and beat Scotland so that it won't matter.

Thought second half was good. Played with intensity and tried to do right thing. Far too much hoofing in first half. Compare Coleman's style to the way he plays for Everton and Ireland, chalk and cheese. Also if playing 442 need proper wingers. Prefer Wes in hole rather than out on right.
