FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[J OGorman]

The only reason McGeady is frustrating is because he should have always been played as an attacking midfielder. It's where he started for Celtic and where most of his best games have been. I've been saying this for years.

He doesn't have the ability to put in a consistently good cross, so it's going to be a circular purgatory watching him play on the wing. As you saw last night, and even against Chelsea, when he gets the ball on the edge of the box he can make space with a bit of flair and technical ability. The commentary on RTÉ was continually stressing the need to put someone behind Robbie Keane -- McGeady is the person who can do that job. It's where O'Neill played him on his debut for Celtic and I hope it's where he will end up.

Good post. Circular purgatory - you should patent that term - it's exactly the right desrcription of McGeady's more frustrating side.

Glad we got the win but realistically we need to be beating Georgia. We're not world beaters but who the hell are they?

O'Neill will start off conservatively and focus on gettnig the side nice and solid. Then he'll get them playing a bit. This has been his trend as a manager. Dunphy needs to calm down. I think Tony O'Donoghue's line of questioning is snide and I would'nt blame O'Neill for cutting his socks off.

listen up you uncultured swines...DUNPHY WILL NOT BE CLOSED DOWN!!! Could be a long old campaign

How'd the trip go Ballinaman?

I saw the pictures on FB Ballinaman, looks like a nice spot. I'd say the locals would turn on you quick enough though if you were raining down ash on them!

I dread to think what Germany are going to do to this lot.

[Aaron Boone]

The sub keeper did well for the Iberians, kept it to a tidy 7-0.

I thought yer game was only starting at 7:45...

Could have been 12 or 13 if they really wanted it to be.

Is there any point in having countries like this in the qualifying stages?

Interesting to see how Germany react from this.  Probably rip Ireland into 10 colours of shite on Tuesday night!!!

I've a feeling they'll do exactly that
