Ferguson tool a penalty in the shootout for the under 21s if I recall. It was awful and easily saved. Wouldn't be be first choice to take one tonight. I'd possibly say Josh Cullen would get the nod.
Tallaght Stadium Regular
Fellas young and old going to a game to see an opposition player is sickening.
Once it's matchday Ireland may as well be playing 11 Johnny Onion-Rings for all I care.
Never ever cared who was in the oppositon 11.
Fcuk Mbappe, I hope he gets the legs kicked off him in the first 2 minutes and has to go off injured so anyone there just to see him gets disappointed.
The person I was going with has some eye issue where basically the closer to the halfway line the better. Got a detached retina getting an elbow going for a header and the detached retina led to glaucoma and then surgery followed but there’s still issues.
Normally I can just buy tickets no problem - but with this game everything sold out so quickly that after an hour, it was only behind the goal and the corners where tickets could be found. So I hung around, not sorting tickets trying to get something that would work.
Was told it was sorted on Thursday and got a text last night saying there was a problem

I'd love to see Molumby getting under Rabiots skin in midfield. Bit of old fashioned Denis Wise nastiness. Rabiot is temperamental.
We are all worried about Mbappe of course, but Griezmann coming from midfield could kill us. Cullen really has to have eyes in back of his head to follow him all night

Coleman is starting based on that
Obafemi for Ogbene, and that would have been the line out id have gone for. Still not sold on Ogbene, particularly his last few months at club level once his head got turned on a potential move
That’s the line up I expected him to go for. I like Ogbene, and I’d trust him to put in a real shift rather than Obafemi to be honest. He has a knack of getting a goal too. Also not surprised with Knight before Smallbone.
Realistically, don’t expect us to get anything, but neither do I expect us to get thumped.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
It's a toss up between Ogbene and Obafemi. Front two will need to get through a mountain of work defending from the front and being an outlet for balls in behind. With his lack of matches might have been a bit much for Obafemi to say we need a 100% out of you for most the game if not all the game as you'd want himself or Ferguson to finish the match. Can hope it's still level or a goal down by the 60th minute and then spring him from the bench.
Looks like a decent line up to me - no complaints! (Am referring to the Irish team, BTW )
Not convinced by Ogbene in the centre. Prefer him out wide in the 5-2-3. Id have gone for Obafemi up top. Probably would have inched Smallbone ahead of Knight but very tight.
As an aside, just imagined Ogbene having the pace to mark Mbappe at RWB. Outside the box anyway
