The Official FAI Thread

Lads im seriously pi**Ed off - Delcan Rice - nothing to Ireland - quit talking about him

May aswell talk about demba ba - its just as relevant.

ANYWAY....

From the short interviews ive seen/read about - Josh Cullen looks to be proud as punch of his call up! Good luck to the lad - hopefully he can push on.

What way do we fit Doherty and Coleman into the team?

[general]

Doherty on the Right, Coleman on the Left - I think he could play here comfortably - enough quality to play on his bad side

Enda Stephens isnt good enough IMO

[lurganblue]

Talk of playing 3-5-2 with Coleman on the right of the 3, Doherty right wing back and maybe Brady on the left.  Not sure about Coleman in that role tbh.

[general]

If hes going with that then Id like to see something positive like the below.  IMO McClean & Brady need to be accommodated as do Coleman & Doherty             

                     Randolph

            Coleman Duffy Egan
Doherty                               Brady

           Hourihane Hendrick Arter

                        McClean
                        Maguire

[bogball88]

Nonsense. Mick will play a flat back 4 with Coleman at right back. Doherty will likely play on right wing, if not he will play left back as he has previously played there

Johnny Walters retires - the Achilles injury finished him

What a warrior of a man! Great servant for Ireland.

[Itchy]

All the best to John Walters, a man that gave his all for Ireland. A warrior is right.

[imtommygunn]

The main reason behind qualification 2016. A guy I always admired greatly for his workrate and toughness. Maybe wasn't technically the greatest but really made up for it in effort.

Happy retirement.

I like the sound of that 3-5-2. Coleman has slowed since injury so I think it is definitely something worth pursuing putting him there. I think he could be very good in there over time.

Swap Stevens for Brady and not too bad a team.

Good win for the Swiss.

[Milltown Row2]

Ireland going to score soon?

Ireland going to score soon?

One decent chance created so far? Almost a goal for Gibraltar there a few moments ago.

[Captain Obvious]

Irish goal, nice cool finish. Floodgates to open now?
