Losing to a last minute goal versus Ronaldo is a step up from losing to Luxembourg.
Kenny's job is to bring the players on. Fingers crossed.

Big Dunne is probably right about this team in their current phase of development in that they're better without the ball and hitting on a counterattack or set piece.

Against lesser teams where they do have the ball and try to break them down they don't look overly confident doing that but it's a young outfit barring St Seamus and Duffy.

Indeed, just look at the  team and where they are playing

Bazunu - 19 yrs old, playing on loan with Portsmouth in League 1
Coleman - Playing regularly with Everton, one of only 2 premier starters in the team
Egan - Playing regularly with Championshop team Shef Utd
Duffy - Starting these days with Premier League Brighton. The other def Premier starter currently in team.
Doherty - Not getting a game at Spurs
Josh Cullen - Anderlecht and starting
Jamie McGrath - St Mirren
Adam Idah - gets 10 mins a week with Premier league Strugglers Norwich
Connolly - gets 10 mins a week with Premier leagues Brighton
Omobamidele - Not getting a start with Norwich
McClean - With League 1 Wigan
Collins - Not starting with Luton Town in championship
Molumby - moved to championship west brom after failing to make it at Brighton

I wont bother go through the Portugal team, many of whom are champions league regulars and who won a European championship. Many playing in top top clubs around Europe.  In these circumstances it is pretty disgusting to hear so called Irish supporters having a go at players and managers after that match. Obviously they are completely detached from the reality that is Irish soccer today.

Wheres good around lansdowne road for a feed of pints and a bite to eat before the game tues night?

Beggars Bush is the job and relatively cheap.

Slattery's do pizzas too I think but it's always mobbed.

Now this is on the way out from town as opposed to right beside it but https://the-square-ball.com/...

Schoolhouse is another one with burgers outside and grub too and it's not mobbed.



them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

In terms of the match itself we need to actually own the ball a bit and play. Is there a need for Hendrick?

Cullen, McGrath and Hourihane maybe? McGrath really stepped up in fairness.

Parrott instead of Connolly up top? Connolly is very headless and takes so many bad options, which is an awful pity as he makes good runs.

We have always had dross in squads. We brought  English 4th division players to E88 and WC90. At least our weaker players are better now than then.

The difference is we don't have the Liverpool, Arsenal, United players anymore
