Republic of Ireland Team Talk/News/Rumours 2020/2021 - see Mod Note in OP [18/11/20]

el Fenomeno

I'm beginning to think we're not the 29th best team in the world....

Kiith

They are 111 places below us in the rankings...jesus ****ing christ.

Christ all over us now. I’m at the point of feeling sorry for SK, it’s embarrassing for him he has to be under serious stress.

Self inflicted I'm afraid. He's out of his depth and should have stepped away several matches ago.

I'm beginning to look back fondly on Staunton's reign.

At least we scored a couple against Cyprus. Good times.

MurDawg

Ref has been pretty terrible

Mantis Toboggan

Parrott!

This is it

Good goal

~Rebel~

Jeysus, thank Christ!

Good goal in fairness, actually giving them something to worry about.

Just run at them like that.

Dr. Bre

Remember the name !

Mars Bar

Oh. We scored! Forgot what that felt like

Tchaikovsky

Go on Troy! **** off Andorra lol

Mantis Toboggan

Shocker from Curtis

namloc1980

Shocking effort there.

is_that_so

Finally , and nearly 2-1! Much better.

Dr. Bre

Woeful from Curtis

I don’t know lads , the lengths people will go to to defend Kenny . How many games now and there is zero evidence of any progress whatsoever unless you think the keeper and centre halves playing triangles is progress

They think % possession and completed passes are the be all and end all.

Mervyn Skidmore

U21s look a better side than the senior outfit. Would be interesting to see a match between them.

I’d never sack myself! He deserves more than the squad are giving him, you or I should be able to coach these lads to win against Andorra.

The White Feather

Ccurtis somehow missed an open goal there

~Rebel~

Good work from Parrott another minute later - and Curtis misses a sitter...

_Kaiser_

Great goal from Troy there

This is it

Oh lord

franglan

Troy take it yourself mate

LowOdour

God, how sad was that...great finish but he seemed to get no enjoyment out of getting your first goal fo your country

beggars_bush

The astro pitch is shocking

Mantis Toboggan

No reason why we can't kick on and get the victory now

ParkRunner

Use your right foot man!

~Rebel~

Somewhat unsurprising that Troy suddenly looks a lot better when he gets to do something through the middle, after looking lost out wide.

Still might lose also.

Cos it's an embarrassing state of affairs

~Rebel~

And again. So let’s maybe play Parrott as a striker then...

_Kaiser_

Troy doing it all himself at this stage. Great goals

Soups123

Good man Troy.

Tchaikovsky

Troyyyyyy

The White Feather

That goal gives Parrott goal and player of the year surely?!

He just got another!!! So its between both goals!!

Class delighted for troy "actual competent footballer" parrot

To be fair, you shouldn't be celebrating an equaliser against Andorra

is_that_so

What a difference 3 minutes makes!

My one concern is that if we do go on to win this, all will be forgiven regarding Kenny

Mervyn Skidmore

The sports bra isn't a good look.

Did you smash it

Ireland have to find a goal threat and Troy is going to be inconsistent but there’s nothing else there. We have to move on from the Shane long era.

I'm sure when we where a goal down it was nice to have a bit of support

Morrison J

I hope how this game plays out doesn't paper over the cracks. We were 1-0 down to Andorra after the guts of an hour. Zero signs of progress. Kenny needs to go.

The White Feather

Troy Parrott is the first player to score a brace for the Republic of Ireland since October 2017, when Daryl Murphy netted twice against Moldova

Duff

Okay, never call Curtis up again.

Bob the Seducer

Wouldn't mind seeing McGrath on next...
