Parrots and pecking order.
I sense a theme developing

We're just winging it

Cristina sent off for an elbow lol.

 

[BongoBlue]

Parrott subbed off. I guess he's an ex-parrott now...:)

A polly scorer tonight.

An opposition player has now been sent off in all three of Ireland's home world cup qualifiers.

Italy scored in the 88th minute to deny Norway a direct ticket to the World Cup finals.

Shame, but can’t see them beating Norway by 9.

No but had they secured qualification tonight, good chance he would have released Haaland and spared him yhe extra game.

Armenia away defeat looks harmful now

Have to go to Hungary and win on Sunday

Ronaldo had to go, Martinez has no balls and will pander to him until they’re out of the next world cup. He’s finished but he’s afraid to drop him.

It’s not like Ireland to beat a big team by more than one goal
Don’t remember the last time we did

He'd have played him anyway, Hopefully Erl just walks around for 90 minutes.

Fair play to the Irish. They play in Budapest on sunday night, and the winner goes to the playoffs. Two or three games back, I couldn't see that happening. When they lost in Yerevan, their chances looked very very slim.

Doubt it. He released him from the second game in the last set of internationals.

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

Well done Troy Parrott. Troy went to my old school (O'Connells CBS in North Richmond Sreet, for those of you who know your Dublin).

 

[jimharri]

The guys on RTE getting giddy ahead of sunday. "Hungary are no Portugal". They're still ahead of Ireland in the group.

 

[Zabaleta5]

Great result for Ireland tonight

 

[Chak19]

Well that was a friendly against New Zealand, this one is against Italy away, it's a decent test for the Norwegians before the World Cup, so I think he'd have played in any case.

I hear Armenia missed a sitter tonight tonight to a draw with Hungary
Sure it keeps it interesting for the last game on Sunday

Be interesting to see if the manager stays on.
Been a disappointment bar tonight

He knows the writing on the wall hence him declaring the next WC being his "last".

Other coaches would have fucked him off by now. Instead his PR will be wanking themselves silly with farewell world cup ideas.

Crowd proper got to him.

 

[jimharri]

Crowd proper got to him.

He exchanged words with the Irish manager on the touchline as he was going off. And he had to be shepherded away down the tunnel by some of the Portuguese backroom staff. Yes; in his prime he was a fantastic player, but he always came across as a spoilt, petulant br twat.
