That reads as the worst possible outcome to me. Didn't like the selection to start with but I dislike that even more.Quote:

The new gear is inspired by our win over Italy back in 94. Yet we wore green that day but the hype kit is white.Quote:

Thankfully it's not quite the feared back 5 with two in midfield. We seem to be trying to play Collins in two positions. Worth a shot I suppose.
Didn't we boo their anthem?Quote:

Pity Rice and Grealish aren't playing. Bring them in for Jones and Madueke and you have a majority of Irish qualified players (Rice, Grealish, Gordon, Bellingham, Kane and Gallagher) on top of the Irish international manager.
Not the worst start. Shape is something different. Like the idea with Collins pushing on as a target for kick outs. Josh Cullen looks very nervy and has got us in trouble a couple of times. Good work closing down shots and space in the box so far. Need to get a bit more possession now.
We did after I'd posted that, yeah. Always highly likely unfortunately given they'd booed ours from the start.Quote:

No I was referring to the reverse fixture. They were always likely to have a go.Quote:

Well that's the September fine - but theirs was larger than ours because they're repeat offenders.Quote:

At least there's little else to talk about so far though! Definitely second best, but not being completely overrun
100% penalty! They’re Never given though
Ebosele playing well but his first name on his jersey is absolute cringe
Oh crikey. Is Sammy's going off here? I think he's done his knee there
Edit - no; back on now. Didn't look good though. The injuries where you don't touch the other guy can often be the worst
Very solid so far. Probably the biggest criticism of this team is that they’ve never managed to look solid. Delighted with that. Would love to see a bit more attack but we’ve at least worried them a few times and might well have had a penalty.
Make that two penalties. Great to see the passion from Festy and the crowd getting up for it.
Just realised, we have 6 England eligible players. The 4 lads born there and Scales (father) and Ferguson (mother).Quote:

Didn't think the second was a penalty. The defender got in first to head it back. I think any trip after - if there was one - was incidental and would have been a very soft penalty.Quote:

I agree with Bellgham, the ref is a f*cking b****x!
That’s been a brilliant half from us. Solid. Frustrated the f*ck out of them.
