tonight has been one of the worse nights as a ireland fan i can ever remember.
stephen kenny you are a fraud of a man, turned us into a joke. no man since oliver cromwell has damaged our country as much as you.
give rafa a call and see if he wants to a job with an easy commute, if he turns it down call big sam he has a 100% winning record at international level.
Gutless. Uninspired. Fearful. Just a few words Iād use to describe that performance and it stems from the manager. All the back slapping after losing to France was shown up for what it was. A group of players who raised their game against one of the best teams in the world and we had nothing to lose.
Tonight more, much more was expected and we failed. Not heroically but abysmally.
Rafa, why not. But we might need to aim a little lower. Brian Kerr is not doing much. Maybe he would step in and see out the campaign while we look for someone long term.
In De Bruyneās absence, the new Belgian manager said the captaincy would be shared in these two games between Lukaku (first game) and Courtois (second game). Courtois got huffy over the disrespect of not having it first and has gone home so now wont play in their second game.
I didnāt see any of the internationals but the BBC report doesnāt show Trent as scoring. He and Hendo are both down as having an assist each. @Livvy Squawka post also shows Trent as scoring. So, did or didnāt he?
Any confirmation or update on which players have been called-up for NT duties? Konate (France) has been omitted and Gravenberch (Netherlands U21) has withdrawn from their respective squads.
