Who to put on?
Who to put on?
8-1 Portugal
Festy is not a player
Troy Parrott is though!
Ladies and gentlemen. Please fasten your seatbelts. We may experience some turbulence in the next 10 or 15 minutes.
Ah lads I just can’t
Festy is absolutely brutal
Adam Idah has the first touch of an elephant wearing wellies
Festy is even worse than former Southampton striker Ali Dia
Brilliant save from Kenny's shot there
I don't agree with the criticism of Festy at all. He's very unpredictable but that's no bad thing
I think Im going to cry!!
Ah lads. I’ve frightened the life out of the cat. Bloody hell.
Unbelievable!
An almost exact replica of Keane v Germany 2002
There could be no better way to do it
HOLY F*CK!!!!
I’m so proud of them!!!!!!
****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing ****ing hell.
What a way to win this.
All and any bad luck and demons from France play off, almost hanging on agaisnt the Dutch in 88 its all erased!!!
Don't know where the dogs gone ...
What is ****ing happening???
It's up for grabs now tetsQuote:

Can this now finally be the last post spouting this ****ing nonsense. We can play our way and be successful. We don't have a Xavi or a Pirlo and we don't need one.Quote:

I've just realised that the format and the timing of the playoffs means that we're in the World Cup finals draw. Incredible!
Is that the best week for Irish football outside a major finals?
Unbe****inglievable
What a difference two games makes. It just genuinely felt like if we equalised the winner would come. Finally premier league footballers are looking like premier league footballers in an Ireland shirt. Even on the stats we had almost as much possession and plenty of attempts. It’s just worlds away from where we were in such a short space of time. It just shows what confidence and organisation can do.
Wow.
Speechless.
Troy Parrott - unbelievable
Have no words....and yes...this is how we play, this is Irish soccer
Last away hattrick I wonder?
Keane in Denmark under Stan?
Unreal. 5 goals in 2 games... f'in brilliant.
It’s a Yes from me.Quote:

Delighted for Parrott too he had a pretty hard time the last 5 or 6 years were he probably wasn't being utilised properly by the clubs he was with, but he has really come on since moving to the Dutch league seem like a really ground lad too even after all the hype about him as a young player.
How do I embed a tweet/X?

The Iceland media covering the incredible turn around this week, modestly refer to the Irish team as 'Heimir's disciples'.
Either you work for RTE, they read Foot.ie or its in the national conscience right now as I thoroughly enjoyed the closing highlights reel to that Italia 90 soundtrack. Usually I feed these things cringe but not today, grinch is gone for wee while!!Quote:

It would be a disappointment to not get through the play-offs now, hope will be high, draw dependent, but somehow I dont think there will be that acute, deep cut to the heart if we dont get there. Maybe Im alone here but in many ways progress and improvement does me. We will have gone out fighting. Of course we could be scrambling for time off in the Summer too! Name on a trophy stuff;)
5 December is the World Cup draw
Ive seen a few potentials for tomorrow back page headlines but the one I like is 'Troy, Troy, Troy again!' Hungary sick as Parrotts....
Do we have any players suspended for next games?
