Bulgaria v Ireland - Thursday 20.3.25 - Nations League

Either he isn't suspended or they've called someone up and not bothered publicising it.

It was just something Hallgrimsson mentioned in his post match interview on the pitch rather than something than was mentioned on commentary at the time of the booking, maybe he got confused at the time.

Taylor should start anyway

We know what knight brings to the table

I think Taylor could be a really good player.

As someone said " knight good at everything, very good at nothing"

Thought comms said it too, but yeah, remember him getting booked for descent and missing the England game as a result - so mustn't be suspended

I think you're right Stu. Someone said during the lost match commentary...I think it was HH. He had already suggested Molumby might come back in so might gave been foreshadowing his thinking.

Knight wasn't great the other night (no pun intended). If one of himself and Cullen is to be dropped I would keep Cullen. Knight is good as an impact sub as well with all his energy so to me is a good like-for-like with Cullen and coming in for the last 20 to tidy up games when needed.

For those of us old enough to remember the 1990s Formula 1 was a big part of the golden age of Irish sport that was kicked off by Big Jack. Back in the days when the only sporting code Irish athletes didn't seem to be enjoying unprecedented success in was rugby.

Apart from Ferarri, F1 cars were basically all giant cigarette packets with wheels driving round at incredible speeds back in those days, but the B&H Jordan livery was as good looking as anything else on the grid. And it was between Eddie and Flavio Briatore for who was the biggest character on the pit wall.

Netflix would have loved him.

I actually think the original green Jordan 191 with its 7Up and Discover Ireland logos was a thing of total beauty. Incredible how Schumacher got his break too. Many younger guys here probably won’t know the story.

Eddie Jordan and his team were the heart and soul of F1 at the time - there hasn't been a character in F1 like him since. During that Bitten and Hisses period I got my hands on a pit shirt worn by one of the Jordan engineers in the pitlane at one of the GPs (they were usually given as gifts to people who were visitors to the team during GPs). A rich yellow colour with all the logos sewn on - beautiful shirt if I say so myself (I must root it out of the box its stored in).

Yea - the Jordan 191 had a lively livery and was an incredible piece of machinery built on a shoestring budget - and Jordan gave Schumacher his F1 break and then Briatore stole him from Jordan before the next race. Jordan also gave debuts to Rubens Barrichello, Eddie Irvine and Ralf Schumacher and he rejuvenated Heinz-Harold Frentzen's career in 1999 after he was dumped by Williams.
