Republic of Ireland Team 2023/24 [old thread]

Happy enough with that, though would’ve preferred Obafemi over Idah, Oba’s just a far likelier goalscorer. Good option off the bench I guess though though.

Idah starting though will hopefully free up Ferguson to play higher up rather than being the one doing most the work and linking up play. Obafemi and Ferguson would have been my front two but if Idah and Ferguson works out then fair play to Kenny.

Finished 2-2 with Lawal channeling his inner Nathan Collins. That's a good result for Ireland vs a Ukraine team preparing for the Euros so basically an U23s team.

Really looking forward to this. Team looks adventurous which is a positive in my opinion.

Make or break for SK in so far as a bad performance here and I think he's done. But a great performance without the win and I think he's probably still safe.

We're lucky not to 1-0 down already within 5 minutes. A lot of Greek pressure and Bazunu with a big save.

Don't look prepared tbh, awful start. Not at the required pace. Not even near it. Very lucky to be level.

Quite a worrying start this.

Two up top looking a mistake.

Greece started at 100 miles an hour… really need to just keep things tight for 20 or 25 minutes till the game settles down.

Well no wonder it took ages, they went back to find that one.

Clear penalty.

Wow this has been dreadful

Looks a fair decision. Not sure why it took so long.

I'm switching back over to watch McIlroy

And it's been given. It's been all Greece for the first 15 minutes. Smashed into the back of the net. They deserve the lead. Ireland have been poor.

Almost like everyone is surprised Greece would start aggressively. What are we doing here?

Exactly why VAR is utter sht.

Terrible start.

Need to get a grip on the game or this could be easy for Greece.

The question of did it hit his head or hand I presume, inconclusive on the replays I saw but you can’t do what odowda did in the modern game

Definite penalty. Ireland have been very poor so far. Unfortunately that's the way it has been far too often under Stephen Kenny.

We should have brought a ball of our own,baar the first minute,we haven't touched the bloody thing

It’s his fault that his players can’t keep their hands down?

Well off the pace currently. Another Greek goal and that's all she wrote I'd imagine.
