The first line up with four at the back is it I'd say. Doubt he'd be starting O'Neill LWB with three LBs named in the squad.

Yeah - it was just Lawal being named as a midfielder and then wearing number 8 had me thinking. Can’t remember many lads wearing 8 and playing Centre half.
Goal somewhat against the run of play there. Curtis maybe could have done better. Good (or lucky) finish.
Pitch isn’t in the best Nick.
Northern irish ref has given us nothing. Festy and Curtis were fouled with a freekick given against them, and Phillips was kicked in the chest with no foul given
One thing I hope the u19s and u21 take from this international break is when you have a shot at goal the ball should go UNDER the cross bar, not OVER it…
Let off, Iceland goal ruled out for offside. All came from an aimless pass from an Irish player…
What is with all these aimless passes, it’s doing far more harm than good.
And Ireland equalize!
Iceland robbed for the offside. They're all over us tbf.
This ref is a little c#nt isn’t he…
Festy absolute ridiculous getting himself two yellows for dissent. Ref has been harsh on Ireland but that’s unforgivable.
That sending off, just after the awful offside goal decision, that must mean the ref's meteoric elevation from obscurity to the international limelight has gone to his head.
We’d get somewhere if we had a monochrome of patience rather than try to secure a defense splitting passes every single time. The majority of the time we just give the ball back to Iceland…
With no evidence either way, I’m with Festy

Cannon looking very accomplished out there. Phillips and Lawal both physical specimens.
Did Ebosele get sent off for dissent for the U17s once as well?
How many times is that now that Brookes just aimless kicked the ball out of play…how are we supposed to hold onto the ball when you’re keeper keeps booting the ball out of play.
