So Duffy's going to start at least one of the two games, that's good to see. I'd like if he partnered Clark to see how that goes. I must say I wouldn't fancy a Duffy-Keogh partnership really.

But you're the guy who's being a $mart ar$e when I'm simply looking for a link to watch the match. Well done on being a smarter person than me :applause:Quote:

Judge, Hoolahan, Brady
Long
is what I'd like to see. No need for Coleman. I'm not a fan of McGeady. Whelan will probably play. And Keogh.
McShane deserves another run out. Has played well for Reading this year but he still makes me too nervous to watch.
McShane deserves a run. Would like to see Judge, Duffy, Elliot and Hayes get game timeQuote:

Formation more than anything annoying me. Are we going to play 2 up top in France? Unlikely. Roles of full backs, wide players and midfield 2 all change when you switch to 4-2-3-1.
Interesting line-up; good to see Judge in there. Hopefully, McGeady can perform. Haven't seen Doyle in a while, but he probably makes it due to injuries rather than being in real future starting plans.
Strong Donegal connections in defence tonight with Coleman from Killybegs, Duffy's father from Letterkenny and Clark's grandmother from Milford, though now residing in Manorcunningham.
Might not be too bad if they set up like this....Quote:

Told ye this Duffy Clark partnership was worth trying out :p
Duffy's height is a great asset.
Poor Doyler... Was looking pretty sharp n all. Murphy coming on, it would have been an ideal opportunity to bring on a midfielder and scrap this 4-4-2 madness.
Apology accepted. Link was a bit stop start but found one eventually.Quote:

Murphy on. God forbid Judge or Hoolahan go behind Long or Gleeson or O'Kane help out Meyler and Quinn in midfield. That would be too radical.
Looks like that could well be the end of Doyle's euro chances
He was indeed. Shocked to see how on the ball he was.
That Ciaran Clark lad. Liability.
Also thanks DeL. Quality seats lad.
Very unfortunate for Doyle there. Looked fairly innocuous.
Very unlucky there for Long, close to perfect header. Thought Colemans ball was outstanding.
Cracking ball by Coleman. Long very unlucky. Looks very sharp tonight.
Murphy looks like an absolute beast in the new jersey
poor enough stuff. quinn and meyler are not a midfield combo that would fill one with confidence. whelan for all his detractors is far better than either.
looks like we've gone full long ball - maybe understandably given the players available? mcgeady looks out of shape and judge hasn't had a touch really.
sad for doyler, he was giving it everything.
