FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

Connolly brought into the squad then. That's one thing, another is actually playing him.

Its weak management in my opinion. I assume he has watched Connolly more than any of us. He scores two goals and that forces a total u turn on his original call.

It's also on the back of ronan Curtis getting injured tbf. If he's going to be playing first team club in the next few months, it's no harm having him around the squad for these couple of games

McGoldrick is injured too. Connolly will be a big loss for the U21s. They  are playing Italy on Thursday. They have never qualified for the European u21 championship before, but started this campaign well

I thought Mick MacArthy might have called up James MacArthy who started for Crystal Palace after coming back after injury yesterday.

On a side note. Are the English lads walking off tonight if there are any anti-Catholic chants by fans in the stadium. Asking for a friend.

[Baile Brigín 2]

Good to see full houses for the women and u21 games, and both teams competing with the best. Potentially huge cup final crowd too.

[Capt Pat]

Why didn't Mick start Connolly instead of Collins. When did Collins last score 2 goals against a champions league team? Connolly should have started imho.

[Itchy]

Mcclean been very poor so far, Collins too.

[An Watcher]

Egan and Duffy doing well, the rest poor

Hard to agree with you there, they've done ok but clearly struggling with communication between themselves and keeper. Lucky it hasn't caught them. Collins offers little up front, I think they need a change there. Georgia will probably make a burst for 1st 10 mins, weather that and then get some possession and get a goal.

Throw on Connolly and see what he can do, can't be any worse than what's on the pitch.

Have to agree, front 2 not working for us at all. Collins way out of his depth

[ardtole]

Jack Byrne worth 20 mins too, what's out there is dreadful.

[Itchy]

McCarthy will wait till we ho behind before being brave enough to make a call

[Itchy]

Absolute piss. McCarthy no different than o Neill. This was the game to go after the 3 points against a mediocre team. Instead plays woeful conservative shit and loads team with donkeys like glenn Whelan and collins. Very disappointing they way they set up for this game.

[laoislad]

That was as bad as anything under O'Neill.
I went to Tallaght the other night to watch the U21s against Italy.I honestly reckon they would have done a better job against Georgia
