FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Cheap penalty to give away and now 2-1.

No need
2 daft goals to give away. Shouldn't be losing this.

[Capt Pat]

Silly penalty to give away. Should have got something out of the game. Decent performance from Ireland and still going in the right direction.

This.

I wish someone with some crayons would show the FAI and the management that the nation's league actually counts and you can get to playoff finals.

Full blooded game and great atmosphere. Ireland very vulnerable all second half with crosses going into box. That's normally an Irish strength defending those type of crosses but resulted in concession of two goals.. A game that was there to be won had Parrott taken his chance. Some speed by Obafemi on that counter and laid the pass on a plate. Positive signs for Euros but to be 8 points behind that Scottish team with one game left is poor however.

Armenia got spanked by Ukraine last night so hopefully they can get an important confidence building win. To get relegated from that group though would be pretty shocking

All the talk about wanting to build a team who can pass the ball around.
As a very basic, they should be able to defend crosses and high balls. That used to be food and drink to Irish teams who were supposedly only hoofers.

f**k sakes kid. Take a beer. Those teams who were hoofers were hard work, I agree. Followed them round Europe and further afield. We played well tonight, anybody can see that. Wind the neck in.

Exactly, we are playing much better than a year ago, have more depth in our squad and getting more results.  In Kenny we trust

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

Scottish perspective here but thought we were lucky enough to win, albeit just about deserved based on on chances and possession. Ireland played well and might well have won and had a few key moments gone the other way you're looking at a different outcome. Certainly feel Ireland are much better than recent results suggest. For Scotland that's a good win with a weakened team and when they didn't play great. If they manage to grind out a draw against Ukraine then tonight's win was huge.

The Nations League is settling down. A very good concept imo. How long will we be in Roinn a dó?

[Cyril Farrell fan]

The Parrott 1 on 1 chance should have been a standard finish for any decent striker. Doherty should have hit the target with his chance.
But they "played nice football", so the fans are happy.

This from July shows where the team came from

Scotland were battered 3-0 by a side who had not won a competitive fixture since 2019, nor had they scored three times in a game since 2014.

Thoughts:

I like Kenny and what he is trying to do.

We are playing better.

It's nicer to watch.

We are finding and developing players

We gave away two soft goals

We are not winning 50/50 (and in most cases when we are better) matches and in most cases losing!

International football is a results game.

The Euors qualifying group stage draw will be held on 9 October 2022.

We are reaching a cross-roads which will be determined from where we finish in the Euros qualification.

[fearsiuil]

Kenny has them playing good football, that's not a get out of jail card for all the poor results though. His TV interviews are real cringe cringe, cherry picking positives at the expense of reality.
