Éire v Switzerland 05.09.19

I'm surprised people were expecting any different about Mick's approach tbh.

What did people expect Mick to do? We have a below average squad with no technical players whatsoever! Picking a flavour of the month isn’t going to change it! We hardly have five players at the level required, never mind start making changes. The problem is that we aren’t good enough to beat anybody we need to beat. Draws won’t get this there, but they will mean we can talk about the ‘ifs, buts and maybes’ when we don’t. You can’t blame him for that. We don’t have match winners at this level and throwing possible match winners from the LOI is unlikely to change that. We have lads who work hard, refuse to be beaten and defend with pride, which is all a fan can ask for, but this idea that if Kenny (or anybody else) was in charge tonight that it would all have been different is fantasy. 

yeah, just back at my hotel and surprised at some of the analysis here. I thought we were awful. Switzerland were worse than expected too but should still have won by two goals or so. Really see no difference at all between McCarthys and (the very maligned) O Neills Ireland.

I thought Hourihane was the only one eager to use the ball.

What , do you mean all the barstool ****s posting on here while the game was on , the experts who slaughtered Glen Whelan and all the other sh*te players we have while spouting out all types of bull shoite about putting the latest fckin young fella who makes a debut in ingurlannd with a hint of a connection to us, I really hope some mod after he sobers up bans some of these Fcking wum accounts at this fckin stage

Amazing how a goal will colour perceptions of another appalling performance though. If we don't get that late equaliser and rightly lose the game on the balance of play, heads would be getting called for left right and centre on here. That was right up there with the worst of MON tactics, 5-5-0 in a home game. F*cking hell, we are going absolutely nowhere. And know king w**ker looking for reactions here’s wan for ye go fck yourself you fckin clown and keep your fckin shoite for the c**ting English football no one wants to hear your sh*t stirring bollocks on this thread

Doc on a drunken forum rampage 

The Swiss will be very disappointing they didn’t win that game. They dominated for most of the game and were wasteful in the final 3rd. I fully expect them to beat us away.
