Sometimes it's best to ignore 'If you know your history.'
Very disappointing showing from the home nations.
Off to watch Australia vs Cameroon tonight. Can't say I'm really interested in this game but my son wants to go.
Tell the Irish there will be no world cup this summer

Italian player grabbed an Irish lad by the neck ,in front of the ref.
Done nothing.
He screamed more at the Irish lad for complaining.
Bosnia will beat Italy..unless the glamour of Italy at the WC is more.

With all due respect, the teams of Wales and Ireland are the lowest quality teams ive seen these nations produce in the last 30 years.
Republic of Ireland used to have established premier league players like Robbie Keane, Roy Keane, Coleman (peak version), Given etc. The players they have now are simply nowhere near that level. Parrott would be like Adam Armstrong in the prem and never replicate his form from weaker leagues. The centre midfield has two average championship players in it. Ogbene was sold by Ipswich for not cutting it there. You would have to say Collins, O brien and Kelleher are the only players of premier league level but are in positions where they are limited to how they can impact the match.
Wales have a few more average premier league players but still half prem half championship. None of the players are above average though, Wilson has improved the last few seasons. But these arent players like Bale, Ramsey, Giggs, Bellamy, Rush.
When all these managers are saying we will grow from this. I dont think that serves a purpose, they need better talent to come through for sure.

Id be more worried about the fact we are still being linked with Soucek. Sorba Thomas is probably technically good enough to be a squad player/McNeil replacement but he is very inconsistent though, certainly would class him as lower half of the PL type player which we are trying to move away from so it would be an odd signing imo.

Ridiculous, did the club hierarchy not read my post on here the other day about how thick it would be for a club to do this
!In all seriousness though. It's Farages word, and it doesn't at all appear like it'll actually happen. The director in question is a wrongun who I've long wanted out the club - and I suspect (judging off the reaction from our fans) this might help him out the door.
