I wouldn't say that, just Google Aspire Academy human trafficking. The lads basically bring pre teens into the country from places like Africa, Asia and Central America.

How is it legal in Fifa rules.

Molumby and Hendrick have been absolutely awful all night. Constantly caught in possession, passing to men under pressure and hiding instead of providing an option for the defenders.

I don't get how the panel and Cunningham are so upbeat watching this. No one has any ability on the ball. I fancy i could do better.

It's hard to single a player out, but Troy Parrott has looked so off the pace tonight. Nowhere near good enough yet

Must be amazing to have enough money to keep moving your country to 3 different continents

I'd say Qatar would have the money to buy countries in different continents if they wanted to.

The answer is in the question. FIFA rules

I think the UAE issued a complaint over the eligibility of some of their players after losing to them a few years ago.

Unsurprisingly FIFA threw out the complaint without any explanation as to why it was rejected...

Where's the Ireland subs?

We're 11 games in and you're still wondering? Give it until 88 mins and we'll swap a striker for a striker but priority will be to tap it around.

In the words of the Wu Tang Clan, Cash Rules Everything Around Me. Basically money talks I'd assume.

Troy Parrott is a Kenny level of player if you have ever seen one. I.e. will start up front for Kenny next season. At Finn Harps.

The way some people talk about Qatar you'd never know they were ranked only 15 places behind us and are the current Asian Cup champions having beaten S.Korea in the quarter finals and Japan in the final 2 years ago.

They have come on leaps and bounds since Fifa 95.
Every player had two left feet and their laces tied together.
Half the team could barely stand up.

Yeah, you're right. No point giving boys like parrot some minutes. Let's keep giving game time to 34 year old shane long

The White Feather

If we don't get a winner we should say goodbye to Kenny. I like him but it hasn't worked out. Just say thanks and move on. For whatever reason it hasn't worked.

This is like a cup final and it really hinges on the result. Get a winner and he can say we got there in the end. Lose and he should be gone.

A draw with this display and there isn't much positives to take from this.Take out our goal and we really have only had shane long on the backpass.

Yes we don't have great players, covid etc all the reasons why its a hard luck story, but he hasn't shown me anything to hang my hat on. Stuttering interviews and bad body language. Yes his team is on an awful run so he is not going to be jolly but it comes across badly. I would have to assume the same with the players.

I wanted him to work out but we have to say it hasn't. I don't think he knows how to change it when things are going wrong. That's what I see.

I know, who do we put in? Anyone but him at the moment. It feels like the more he tries the worse we are getting. I really hopes he just steps down honourably. Takes a break and then comes back somewhere.

The FAI just gave him a vote of confidence so he won't be going anywhere

Gonna be 12 without a win

We have a Taoiseach who cannot communicate and a football manager who cannot communicate.

He should get at least one full campaign then sure, assess then

Should have buried that!!

Did you smash it

Did anyone play well tonight? I can’t tell despite watching the game.

That's an awful miss.

Scorpion Sting

We nearly stole it at the death.

_Kaiser_

Dunno what they're talking about on commentary there. I certainly don't feel "lifted" by that performance.

TheRiverman

Surely " Man Of The Match" is some sort of bad joke.

Needs to do better there ffs.

It's a results game so I don't disagree but i question whether a different voice will make a difference.

No. We once went 20 without a win between 1968 and 1971.

That free kick at the end was awful. Really need an improvement in the final third, such a huge issue
