FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Gmac]

McLean not the man to be on so much wide open ball he's terrible

[Milltown Row2]

Wow

[An Watcher]

Poor Pepe, have you ever seen his theatrics over the years.  Good enough for him

[Boycey]

There's something desperately sad about people spending 90mins jeering someone for being quite a good footballer.....

[An Watcher]

So what for jeering Ronaldo.  He's well used to it. Portugal are no saints.  I was delighted when they won their euros but the stunts Ronaldo and all have pulled over the years.  I have no sympathy for them

Totally agree. Disgraceful. They wouldn't do it to Messi. Maybe they should leave their club following behind when they're supposedly supporting Ireland.  A low point tonight 

[Boycey]

Steady on now  I didn't say it was disgraceful either... Just a bit small time. It's not like he's some kind of bogeyman for us... Rare enough to get one of the greats on ur own wee patch

Good performance tonight but it seems like there is very little middle ground on Stephen Kenny when it comes to analysis. He's either brilliant or he is useless and lots of people already have their minds made up. For me the jury is still out but the football is more entertaining and he deserves another campaign to see what he can do.

Same with Ronaldo, I'm not sure what is worse. The fact that he was booed for 90 minutes or the fact that some Irish fans were upset that he was booed for 90 minutes.

Nice touch by him at the end with the young Irish fan.

Ronaldo thrives on that sort of stuff! There is nothing he loves more than being the Villain - or the hero depending on where you are looking from.

Liam Brady very cold and sore on analysis this evening. Results have been up and down, but one has to remember Kenny did not inherit a team full of confidence and direction. Blooding new player, a new system and dealing with the Covid malarkey was not an easy task.

I like football and to see it played properly. I realise it's a results game. But jez, you want to go to be entertained with skill, technique and good positional play.

Gaacraic has a picture of it on their Instagram and in the dozen comments so far she's been slagged off and he's been called a paedo... What bes in peoples heads nowadays

So you didn't enjoy Big Jacks time ?

Brilliant performance last night. Seamus Coleman had Ronaldo in his pocket all night, landed him on his arse a few times which was great. Hendrick was also excellent as was Doherty I thought, though wasn't too keen on Doherty wearing a Number 10 jersey??!
A shame they couldn't get the goal to win it.
Kinda of funny in here,some lads so concerned about Ronaldo that they haven't even commented on the actual match or how well their country played,maybe if he still played for Juve they wouldn't be as bothered 🙄

[seafoid]

Kenny had to change things around. Oireland got left behind. The Euros will tell how well the project is going.

[Boycey]

I could of bet money on laoislad turning it into a Man Utd thing
