We conceded twice to them, and the Latvian defender put the winner on a plate for us.

Loved it!

Great tune but the timing of it when it gets cut short for the presidential greeting and anthems is strange. 

Has to be said again how sh*te our anthem is for sporting events.

Suppose it just needs to be started 30 seconds earlier but if that was being knocked out Monday night when the teams are coming out it would be absolutely class Clap
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

The posters who don't bother their hole going to the game are usually the ones most vocal in their criticism.


+1

Frustrating to lose the two goal lead similar to Armenia but the positives with the debutants outweigh those negatives for me.

Plenty of postitives to take from the game.

Smallbone looked very comfortable on has debut, has played himself into the team for Monday. Ferguson getting his 1st Ireland goal and a great cameo from MJ. We need to shore up at the back and stop conceding those long rangers, it's becoming a real concern. I brought the misses to her first senior game and she loved it witnessing 5 goals. Think back to the friendlies under MON, grim times!

Its quite easy when you have your phone in hand. In fact, depending on circumstances a lot easier that actually attending games for many reasons.

Are you under the impression that everybody lives in Dublin? I live in the UK and have a season ticket but I'm not spending hundreds and taking 1.5/2 days off work to come see a midweek friendly vs Latvia.

Fully agree. Don’t look at ybig until I’m on the train home and it’s the same every time.

LOL
Personally thought the pros outweighed the cons.
Smallbone  Ferguson obafemi O’Dowda molumby all excellent, Johnston is an exciting player, kelleher was decent enough, beaten by a worldie and a deflection, needs game time as does Doherty , the only real disappointment for me. Need to tighten up on the space in front of our three cbs when not in possession too.
Still finding this Irish side the most watchable since micks first go at it.

Look forward to those moaning about kids at football games, having kids of their own.

How dare parents bring kids to a not sold out Latvia friendly, that seat could have been left empty the selfish feckers.

No it wasn’t it was far too bloody slow - any time they get a solo singer to sing it’s an ego trip for them and they think they are Whitney Houston 

Pleasently surprised as the rest of the music was decent 

Crowd was decent about 35k though they announced 41 k

Some plus points on he pitch as others have said - roll on Monday more in hope than expectation 

Oh and is the any chance of our keeper launching a long quick ball given they we have a bit of pace - just once ffs

I disagree, it's not going to take off. I think Zombie could work. I thought the anthem was too slow with her singing it, bring back the band
