Great to see we won both battles:D

When's the next game? England isn't it? Home or away?

Just back from it, totally fluked the win.....

Belgium are the third side in the group. But I don't know when the next matches are. If not by June then the Autumn.

There's four teams in each group. Belgium and, I think, England.

We (how odd to type that about an Ireland team) already beat Slovakia, so just Belgium to go. Draw in that will see Ireland through to the final.

Are you mental or just on the wacky baccy? I know he is one of your former guys. but he has been good only in fits and starts this season, drifts in and out of games, and can be very petulant. Sometimes I am surprised he makes the United squad, never mind the Irish one!

Fair enough, you've seen him more than me I suppose, but from what I did see I thought he looked OK.

The petulance is noticeable at times, he wasn't really like that with us but was at Kilkenny the year before I'm told. Although he is that passionate type of player.

Awful awful game.

Balzers galore due to the appearance of Trappatoni.

Maribor, don't be such an attention seeker. We read your first "awful, awful" post. Also what's FC Balzer's connection with Giovanni Trappatoni.

how would ye say guthrie played

This U23 thing should be scraped, pointless having 1-2 per year. Fail to see what the LOI players will learn playing Irish League players.

Fenlon had Darren Murphy come off the bench when he can't get near the Cork City team.

I now thing this is a ploy by the FAI to prove LOI players not good enough.

In fairness. :rolleyes:

I agree there's not much point to the competition, but to suggest a conspiracy is nonsense.
