Christy Fagan proved himself to be a decent footballer, albeit not a proper pro career ....
On the U21 game itself - good result, ok performance. No fan of Alan Cawley, but he called the game right imo. The players he "criticised" were all replaced. Ferry struggled at LB - the manner of the yellow card he received emphasised that. Watson had a couple of brief moments in the second half, but otherwise largely anonymous and play largely broke down with him when he did manage to get involved. Kayode's physicality is an asset but he made poor use of it.
On the plus side, Coventry and Kilkenny provided the anchor needed to win the game. And Ross Tierney caught the eye as well.
Never saw him play I don’t think but... I played against Cawley in a charity game about 3 years ago. He was playing alongside a few ex-internationals. Genuinely thought he must have been ex-GAA player, because their keeper was some famous GAA keeper. Anyway, he really didn’t look like someone who had played professionally at all, the touch everything. And he would have been about 36, so it’s not like he was ancient or anything.
Only worked out who he was after the game when he was talking about playing in Europe for an LOI side and I asked someone who it was. Seemed like a decent skin though.
The Faroese equaliser v France in an arctic monsoon was a comical sight to behold.

Anyone know if the lux game is being broadcast anywhere?

Watching from the main stand here. Lux are awful. Pitch is worse than when Bohs played here and isn’t really suitable for running with the ball. Kilkenny and Coventry have dominated possession, but they’ve been hampered by the pitch to put moves together. Devoy came into it the last 10 mins. Ferguson has been pretty anonymous to be honest, but the hall hasn’t come anywhere near him really.
Bagan has been solid, but he’s very light.
Finn is out on the pitch at half time by the looks of it and has a squad number.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Oh and it’s absolutely roasting here - 26 at least
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Did that stream die for anyone else? It’s like an watch a stream from 20 years ago
Stream died but got it going again. Hard to make a lot out on the phone, but don't seem to be playing very well this half at least. Lucky to get away with a few cynical fouls to stop them breaking. One as a result of Kilkenny playing an awful pass into the middle.

An absolute peach of a goal by Collie Whelan. We’ve really turned the screw second half
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Was wondering who that was. Looked a lovely well worked goal.

These are a shower of *****. They’ve missed a sitter of their own
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
saw the goal too on the poor stream - i did wonder if the keeper could have done better as it didn't seem to be travelling that fast but hard to tell on the stream video.
Go on Whelan!
UCD forwards back to rule Dudelange again

That's a disappointing result. Looked to be a penalty shout every time the ball went into the box. Didn't look like a great performance in general, although I only had the second half dodgy phone stream and I was trying to work at the same time.

Pretty blatant penalty, and no need for the player to be tackled that far from the goal.
Bosnia and Sweden currently drawing 1-1, with about 15 minutes remaining, which will be a good result for us if it stays that way
