That's as clear a penalty you'll see. It's mad

Yeah

Ireland can draw Slovakia, Kosovo,Armenia or Bulgaria in the promotion/relegation playoff for group B in the National League on Friday.

I never seen the penalty claim live, just the replay, did Evan have any of his jersey at the same time?

As that would be my only thinking.

Not sure foreign ref's be them on the pitch or at VAR give a stuff about England so I'm not bought on the corruption thing.

There'd be more whistleblowers claiming that all the ref's in Europe favour England, sounds bizarre when I say that!

While the defender's shirt-pulling clearly caused Ferguson to fall over, the Law is quite unequivocal. That is, if both players are fouling -and Ferguson clearly responded by pushing him - then it cannot be a penalty.

Harsh, mind (imo).

Carsley is enjoying himself anyway.

Why wouldn't he?

40 caps for the Republic....

And was Jack Charlton not entitled to have enjoyed himself when eg ROI beat England 1-0 in 1988? You know, the same Jack Charlton who gained 35 caps for England, the country where he was born, raised and lived virtually all of his life.

No real weak links in Pot 2 so it will be tough enough to get a top 2 position.

Big evening coming up for Mná na hÉireann.

Wales v Ireland in the Euro playoff 1st leg.

Ended 1-1. Ireland dominated 1st half but went one behind and had a lucky eqaliser. Poor in 2nd half. Will need a big improvement in second leg at home on Tue to qualify. Look the better team overall but Wales always looked dangerous.
