    Depends on how much damage Duffy might do to him first! Duffy is finding form at just the right time. Whatever about not having a silky first touch and extensive passing range, he'll be a key man for us. But the footballing gods giveth, then taketh our LB/FB, so that little shiver of optimism remains a shiver for now.

    Madness, especially with Darlow's case on their door. Surely teams in Europe and players of International teams (Fernandes of Portugal etc) need to have it to travel?
    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

    They can travel on recent negative tests.
    You can't spell failure without FAI

    Norwich 6-0 up against a less than full strength Bournemouth after 75 minutes, Idah still on the bench. Not good for his confidence, not good news for S Kenny. Hold on, Idah in after 77 mins.....

    Alternatively, maybe Idah is going to be starting against Leicester on Saturday? He was impressive pre-season and Norwich haven’t scored in the league yet.

    I think that's an overly optimistic take unfortunately. It sounds like Farke still has issues with his all round game (not his finishing) and thinks he has work to do to get to a position where he can lead the line in the Premier League. Unfortunately that potentially means he will be sticking around Norwich and getting a football education, but not playing much.

    Thursday according to the42 - https://www.the42.ie/dundalk-star-du...29595-Aug2021/
    DUNDALK WINGER Michael Duffy could be rewarded for his impressive recent form as Stephen Kenny prepares to name his Ireland squad on Thursday ahead of next month’s World Cup qualifiers against Portugal, Azerbaijan and Serbia

    Danny Mandroiu reckons he has a chance of a call-up, and Liam Scales has been suggested too.

    Scales maybe given he's being strongly linked with a move abroad in the next week, but Duffy and Mandroiu strike me as that we're starting to get a bit desperate to be honest...

    This could be rated X cert, not for those of a nervous disposition, etc.

    'Ireland works a lot, fights a lot' - Portugal coach's warning as Cristiano Ronaldo included in squad

    Carry On Cliché. He obviously hasn't seen some of our tamer midfielders, so maybe there's a glimmer of hope if he's relying on old scouting reports... Hm?

    Nah, I didn't think so either.
