The likes of Wolves or Everton would be much more like to mix it up than Burnley. 

Just because not every ball is long or the keeper may play a pass and receive it back has no bearing on the fact that Burnley will always be regarded as a long ball side, I mean they're Premiership footballers ffs of course they'll be playing some short passes as some point but they most definitely don't - quote "do it a lot"


Ok maybe not a lot. But they do mix it up and have a lot of decent players on the ball like McNeil , Westwood and Jack Cork when fit

anyone know how the fans who were at the match would have sourced tickets? I seen on the FAI Facebook page one of the lads commented saying out of the 4, 3 travelled from Ireland and one lives in Denmark. Said they paid €200 for a COVID test. 

They will have to quarantine when they go home yeah?

First good set piece of the night and Duffy misses.

With two so called set piece specialists in Brady and Hourihane, its amazing that they've been so bad 
They're average players let's be honest. Duffy is the only specialist we have and that's banging in headers as a defender.

We are no worse than under previous managers but at least we are moving in a direction that allows us to get better.   The passing is getting quicker and we are creating more chances if not scoring. However we need to mix it up a bit more. We also need to take advantage of having talented wing backs and options at centre back. Surely the nations league is the place to try 3-5-2.  Need to look at selections as well. Brady offers nothing that you don’t already have in Hourihane.  Idah is not ready yet and Maguire, O Dowda, Horgan are not really international level.

Have we ever had a period as fans where there aren't some cohort just moaning all the f**king time no matter what is happening on or off the pitch. Christ the night

I'm convinced some folks can't remember what happened last week never mind what was happening under Mick or MON. "This won't work", well the other way wasn't f**king working either. I've actually enjoyed the last three games apart from the results, it's nice to get excited as your players play a few simple one-twos to create some space and get a shot off now and again instead of just hoofing things and hoping we win a freekick or corner. I think there's been an obvious improvement especially from the first Finland game which was very poor.

Give Kenny the WC qualifying campaign and let's see how we go. No doubt there is an army who says we "can't afford to lose a qualifying campaign" or some other nonsense, well f**king news flash we already lost the first Nations League and the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign because of our last two managers so I'm willing to give this fella a go with the youngsters.

Its now approaching Day 3  of your obsession with me, merely because I pulled you up on your weird ramblings. In that time we've seen you start a thread to get a dig at me, on a number of occasions brought up my coaching qualifications and even bring up my username when I'm not debating with you?

Let it go old man.....

Pity Randolph made that mistake, he has been our best player the past number of years, Duffy 2nd. 
The number of crucial saves has he made, we would be 4th seeds without him Heart
It would damage this forums' reputation

Like the FAI couldn't afford him...  I'm sure the long ball approach would be something you would welcome back with open arms. Wacko

We simply can't go back to the way it was before, the football was toxic and it didn't make us harder to beat or give us a better chance of scoring. Duffy has been our best chance of a goal for a long time.

Playing direct just gave possession of the ball away and put us in the defensive foot.

Lads big Jack in his prime with his best squad would find it tough to qualify for the next World Cup.  Anyone who doesn’t think that hasn’t a clue. So it’s going to be tough.
