*Cough* San Marino *cough*

I'm very pleased for Parrott.

He could, you know, pick some different players instead.

**pineapple stu** · 03/06/2021, 5:33 PM

And we've stopped playing again since the goal

**CSAD** · 03/06/2021, 5:33 PM

F&$king blow it up ref

Player quality goes out the window when you are playing Andorra.

**pineapple stu** · 03/06/2021, 5:35 PM

Connolly and Idah have been fairly toothless in previous games in fairness. Options are poor

Germany games, Italy, Austria, taking the lead against future finalists and World champions in Euros.

No comparison with Stan and O�Neill

Is taking the lead against superior opposition seen as a positive? In which case Andorra are a great side yeah?
Good to see McGrath coming on-hope he does well.

**TrapAPony** · 03/06/2021, 5:42 PM

Positives are that Parrott and Knight score. Negative is that Kenny stays on for another match.

**centre mid** · 03/06/2021, 5:42 PM

Good finish from Knight

**NeverFeltBetter** · 03/06/2021, 5:43 PM

A reprieve for Kenny, and important it isn't seen as more than that. Let's see how they get on against Hungary.

That happens in football. Sure, Turkey only beat Andorra 1-0 in the 89 minute a few years ago.

**pineapple stu** · 03/06/2021, 5:45 PM

The bad performances all add up though.

And that was a performance as awful as the result. I think Kilbane's goal on 50 minutes was our first effort on target

**pineapple stu** · 03/06/2021, 5:47 PM

Our best ever win against Andorra.

Long live king Kenny!

**Insidetherock** · 03/06/2021, 5:48 PM

delighted for Horgan.. always looks busy

**centre mid** · 03/06/2021, 5:48 PM

There has been some real quality deliveries in the 2nd half.

**CSAD** · 03/06/2021, 5:49 PM

We scored 4... what the hell!!

Yep there's little to see or suggest bar parrot really and Andorra dying off an the pressure putting on us dropped. We did have better crosses going in in the second half. But that's the little I saw improve.

We've got much worse defensively especially set pieces under Kenny.
