@Stick1984@Nialler6767@JohnMcDwyer1 Aye, defensively lapse on the rare occasions we have had a fair glimpse of him, but he can't improve without more game time. Formation shift killed us last night. Hopefully a lesson learned on making unnecessary changes.
@Nialler6767@Stick1984@JohnMcDwyer1 We have been operating without Stewart for the majority of the season and the manager has opted to play our best attacker there. McDonagh clearly not fancied by the coaching staff.
@daniellang7 Highly doubt it. The horror show in Kerry was probably the worst in the club's history and he survived that along with a new deal. Borderline bulletproof at this stage.
Devastating goal to concede at the end after a largely great team performance. We were grand until the subs were needlessly made. Tempo dropped after that and paid the price in the end. Brilliant goal from Coote.
Good luck to the North of Ireland tonight.
I can’t imagine how wild the rioting will be this evening now it’s been confirmed one of their leaders is a pedophile …
Can't fault the effort and performance from Rovers tonight. Very good football in the first half should have had us two goals up. Repeating good performances in the following games has been a huge problem throughout JR's tenure. Tough to see next week being any different #BitORed
Reminder Cristiano Ronaldo should have missed that match (and Tuesday v Uzbekistan) but FIFA decided to suspend two games of his three-game suspension for violent conduct in Portugal's penultimate World Cup qualifier
DR Congo probably quite grateful in hindsight
You'd have to go some distance to find an organisation more stupid than the FAI. Alienating their supporters and gifting a major advantage to their opponents. Morons.
Ireland v Israel on October 4 moved to a neutral venue overseas behind closed doors
FAI statement includes communication and words from Palestinian FA as part of justification for playing fixtures
This is a statement that would have landed better in February
Associations are fined 10,000 US dollars for a yellow card at this World Cup. 20,000 for a straight red and 15,000 for a red after two yellows. On the evidence of this opener, a lot of the increased prizemoney is going to be redistributed.
@robertburke84 I didn't state you do condone it nor do I believe you do, but an outright post condemning and opposing the blatant racism wouldn't go amiss.
James Milner retiring means 2026-27 will be the first English top-flight season since 1956-57 that will not feature a single player who played under Sir Bobby Robson.
