When did Gio Reyna or Erling Haaland,

and they were actually born in England.
Haha love this from Evan Ferguson when asked why he’s so committed to representing Ireland and not England. “I’m Irish, there’s nothing else to say I’m Irish”🇮🇪☘️

Romeo Akachukwu (17) is linked to a
number of English clubs, including two
of the biggest Premier League clubs -
Also, Southampton have so far made
a bid in excess of €500,000 for the
Waterford and Ireland U19 midfielder.

Kelleher not even getting Cup minutes.
It is hard to ever see him becoming the
Ireland number one, without a club move.

The only man that can actually replace
Josh Cullen (If needed) at the moment.
His form should earn him a call up,
but perception is often a bigger factor
than actual football, in Irish football…

Neil Lennon has a troubled past that
the FAI, and Irish media, can’t ignore.
He has also made statements about
his “great affiliation with Israel” in the past.
This is the type of off the pitch issues
that the FAI should really be avoiding.

Georgia always do us a favour, just like they did vs Scotland for the
Euro 2016 Qualifiers.
We have been in groups with them so often It’s crazy.
Great bunch of lads 😂👍 🇬🇪🇮🇪

Khabib “Ireland why you not speak Irish” Wednesday- at open workout
We don’t Speak Irish because we were attacked by the English because of our religious beliefs and we were made speak English
But because Khabib practices Islam that is not “racist” or isn’t insulting

I don’t think signing a 35 year old from
a team that is fighting relegation in the
English 5th tier, is a ‘statement of intent’
How low are the LOI standards, If so ?
Waterford make statement of intent with Pádraig Amond signing
Keith Long has enticed the striker to the south-east ahead of the Premier Division campaign

It is just on the awful RTÉ Player 🤷♂️
Pathetic stuff altogether from

Troy Parrott scoring twice today to end
his first top tier season on double digit
goals (10) along with having 4 assists.
First time scoring 10+ goals for Parrott
at any level, so a successful loan move.
14 goal contributions in 24 games.
The Irish NT player will have options.

Cathal O’Sullivan (17) likes to score some
spectacular goals. Another one tonight -

Oh my god.
€500,000 left on the table 🤷♂️
But of course they overpaid their CEO.
The FAI can’t even receive that money
because their funding is suspended,
over more ineptitude from the FAI…
The FAI Board and Hill should be
moved on. This is just ridiculous stuff.
Story here - FAI, with 2023 funding suspended, did not draw down all they were entitled to in 2022 due to an admin oversight

Don’t agree with Bradley here. This is a
common practice across multiple nations
and is not a ‘token gesture’ for players…
The NT manager can learn a lot more by
actually working with the player in camp,
compared to just watching fron the stands.
"I don't understand the whole January concept."
Stephen Bradley wasn't overly impressed with Heimir Hallgrimsson's suggestion for January internationals for LOI players.
Tommy Martin and Ann-Marie Keegan discuss the idea and Bradley's reaction on the VMTV Football Pod.

The bias by the main broadcaster
of Euro Qualifier rights in Ireland…
They should be able to do better
than allowing a bitter man air his
senseless grievances on television.
5 EFL players in the Irish XI,
yet expected to dominate possession
against a team full of CL players 😂

So the DDSL came out in support of John Delaney in March, with a statement that was not ratified by the DDSL board and not all of the board members were consulted with before release.
Now their Chairman is going on to the “New” FAI board 🙄🤷♂️
Time to scrap this broken system.
