Brady left back, Manning further forward according to Dan McD. Manning can maybe help out in midfield at times too.
Neither RTÉ pundit impressed with the line-up. Given things we should be putting out a more attacking team - but in fairness I don't think the team we have is exactly defensive, with Parrott, Johnston, Azaz and even Brady and Manning on the wings. Hamann saying Azaz, Johnston, Manning and so on aren't going to get us to the World Cup and we need Ferguson in there - but Ferguson can only take one place in fairness! We're still going to need most of Azaz, Johnston, Manning, etc.
If anybody has a stream, that's be great.
Yeah, I'm not convinced you want to watch a stream...Originally Posted by osarusan
First chance for Bulgaria, another unchallenged shot from outside the box sent in off our post.
The more things change...
I'd still like to watch!
Play Ireland ~ ~ Tactic ~ ~ Shooting practice.
They look absolutely muck.. and we hand them a goal.. they'd break your heart
Awful awful goal to give away,so meek in and around our own box ….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
You have been warned!
(We'd started lively and all - every Ireland cliche over the past few years repeated ad nauseum. Literally until you were sick of it)
Edit - you can add doing feck all since the goal to the bingo sheet. Still early days, but hard to shake the feeling I've seen this game before

Very poor goal to concede. Thought O’She should have got closer to the guy who laid it off. Had been a promising start.
Manning has missed two big opportunities and was primarily at fault for the goal. What a disaster
There we go - Parrott sets Azaz up, and the keeper goes walkabout.
Onwards from here!
Lovely composed one touch ball from Parrott there.
Good goal. Lovely from Parrott. Well done lads.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Lovely touch from Troy Parrot,these are a poor side ,hopefully we can push on …

Their defence is brutal.. get at that keeper, mon the lads
O'Shea wasn't the issue there, the runner off the right wasn't picked up by either Brady or Manning.
Waiting in a flight back to Dublin. Realised I could watch on sky go. Got it started 10 seconds before Bulgaria goal (very soft defending). Had to stop to board, sat down and started stream again and we scored (lovely assist from Troy and ball from Brady). Match will be over by the time we get to Dublin son unless there’s another goal before we take off you can assume there won’t be anymore
I’m fine with Manning. High energy, intense, making stuff happen all a marked difference from previous appearances. First goal chance he should’ve done better, the second was a lot tougher and I think the fault for the goal could be spread to O’Shea and Brady as much as Manning. He won the fk that we scored from too. I think he’s offering us something positive overall here.
