I didn't hear them say please.
You can't spell failure without FAI

I see Jon Walters has sacked Stoke's manager after a poor start to the season. Norwich coach has been approached.
Might have consequences for Cannon and the other Irish there (Lawal, Moran, Strevens, Bonham...)
Apparently the reason Cannon chose Stoke over about 10 other teams was so he could work again with Peter Cavanagh, one of Schumacher's backroom staff who coached him at Everton. However he's gone now along with the manager.
Has now been appointed

Wasn't a great penalty shootout for the irish boys last night as all of Tom Cannon, Mipo Odubeko and Ryan Grayden missed penalties with Cannon saved, Odubeko over the bar and Grayden hitting the post. Ex LOI lad Phoenix Patterson also missed his penalty. Overall a pretty woeful 3 scored from 9 penalties.
Tommy Lonergan and Darius Lipsiuc didn't take penalties. Enda Stevens and Andy Moran had been subbed, and both Irish keepers were on the bench, Harrington rested and Jack Bonham not selected - along with Ronan Coughlan who was also rested
It's something I've noticed in general - Irish players seem to miss an inordinate amount of penalties in shootouts for their clubs. Hardly any of our senior squad are regular penalty takers for their clubs (are any of them?). And of course the last time we were in a shootout ourselves it was a mess. We haven't been remotely competitive enough to even worry about such things in the last few years, but at some point we'll be in one again and I'd have my fears about how it might go.
Evan has missed his last two. Szmodics missed his last penalty.
Idah has taken some pretty important ones for Celtic and has scored every one I can remember for Ireland. I’d also trust Robbie Brady and Troy. That’s pretty much it across a big squad
And Kelleher has taken them too of course!
