Is that behind a pay wall?

Is that behind a pay wall?

No. Free to all.

Wasn't it him thumbing his nose at the Irish bench after they scored their second? That after the crying toddler the other night, Gotta watch those sarky wee gestures, karma's a bitch.

It showed him doing the gesture alright, though it wasn't clear who it was towards.

Was waiting for someone to do this

He is properly traumatised there, like reality hasn't actually hit him yet

Understandable. I'm still traumatised from Goran Straveski in 1999.

Stavrevski is still playing in the Macedonian lower leagues in his 50s apparently.

Seconding the second captains call. The bit about Michael Noonan is hilarious.

Still buzzing the day after

"Here's Troy Parrott, it's up for grabs now...."

Fruck me, that was accurate!

Not sure whether it is bias, whether it was alcohol, or a combination of both, but I felt that Molumby got on a lot of ball yesterday - that he was the primary distributor, and as a consequence so too did Josh Cullen.

I still don't know what happened. In my head that game finished 2-2.

The more often you watch that winner the more you appreciated how badly Parrot wanted it. The distance he covered just to get to where he was and then literally stretching every muscle fibre to get a stud to the ball and score. That's the leadership and pure will to win that's not really coachable. Magic.

It was truely a night to remember, my kids both adults now have never experienced a World cup or even a big win before on the scale of the last two matches, a whole generation of people that just think we are **** at National level.
IF we could some how follow this up by getting through the playoffs it could as Kevin Doyle said on the rte post game podcast stop some kids from picking up a rugby ball and he also mentioned his kids wearing Ronaldo jerseys.
Could this be the start of something big for us with some good kids coming through as well or am i just getting carried away.

And how much Scales wanted to win that header by out jumping two Hungarians.

Just listened to the Second Captains podcast. Brilliant stuff. Ken Earley saying the Hungarian keeper saving Johnny Kenny's effort with his bingo wing made me lol

Someone pointed out on Twitter about Darragh Maloney forgetting his RTE accent momentarily after the goal and screaming 'THAT'S TROY PARREH!'
