FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[imtommygunn]

On another note I don't think the south's players have been better than the north's for a while tbh.

[Baile Brigín 2]

I can't believe James Collins gets a game for Ireland. He is as bad as David Connolly, yes David Connolly.

Are Irelands players better than Northern Irelands players? I think they are but you wouldn't know it by the results.

Even Charlton had duds. We just forgot them.

Could have been 3 or 4 down but for Bazunu tonight but in fairness Ireland showed a lot of heart and the fans stayed with them. Stephen Kelly is soccers version of Dessie Dolan on commentary, you would think we were Brazil if you were listening to him.

[Captain Obvious]

Happy for Gavin Bazunu, his error could have led to the games only goal instead his performance played a huge role in earning a point.

Who was that on co-commentary?

Exactly; for all the plaudits being thrown about with complete abandon, it was still closer to 0-5 than 1-1 for most of the game. Was it one shot we had on target in the second half? Serbs showed how to pass the ball and create chances close to goal.

Stephen Kelly on co commentary.

[MayoBuck]

Way over the top optimism from rte commentary. That was a complete fluke of an OG. It's a decent result but the performance was poor apart from goalkeeper and some last ditch defending.

So the exact same as every other Irish side for the last 30 years

When will a striker score a goal for Ireland. Friendlies against Andorra don't count.

Some seem to forget that Serbia are only ranked 29 and goalie prevented a hammering. We were 30 two years ago, and at 30 we were not that good. Kenny's celebration of the goal was quite embarrassing. 2 points out of 9 at home to Luxembourg (96), Azerbaijan (110), and Serbia (29) is nothing to be lepping about with arms in air.

Would you ever cop on, under pressure coach celebrates a deserved goal with coaching staff and a hugely supportive crowd, you are scraping the barrel of mock.

It was the most ott rte commentary that I can remember  but such were the pittances on the field of play that have been served.  The equaliser was not a fluke,  an excellent delivery and Shane Duffy in the neighbourhood  -  pressure told and it was fully deserved.  Great crowd fully behind the team, a great night for the young players and especially for the teenagers Bazunu and Omobamidele

It was a misfortunate OG on the Serbians; hardly a deserved goal given we had 2 shots on target all game. A bit of perspective.

Genuine question

Would the 11 of the peak Dublin all conquering 6 IAR team beat the Luxemburgers at Lansdowne?

I say yes

Would a team of amateur players in a different sport beat full time pros in another? Are you for real?

Ireland's GAA stars routinely beat Australia's AFL stars

Not in Aussie Rules....

I stand by my point. Kevin Moran, Seamus Coleman and scores of others went abroad with a GAA background and made the top level. GAA lads are going to Aus and making the top level. The Dubs would punish the Lux'burgers, to suggest otherwise is silly

Moran played LoI before he lined out for the Dubs. Using your logic LoI players would boss football..

Coleman was always a soccer player who played some GAA. I can't think of any player who jumped from the GAA to professional football.

Its absolute nonsense to suggest lads who have never played a sport could just pick it up and beat a bunch of pros. Then add in the amateur v professional fitness levels and thats another layer. Offensive nonsense.

It's offensive to lose to a load of bin men and posties from Luxembourg tbh. Absolutely no doubt Dean Rock would rattle off a load of shots at the so called onion bag and Con would rip their midfield a new one.

And yes why wouldn't they be competitive at the rugby World Cup against Canada? Nothing to fear from a few off season ice road truckers
