Some 3rd level institute needs to offer a PhD on qualification tournaments.

No places! Filled by GAA people still scratching their heads.

i was there and it looked and felt like 40,000.
am delighted the fans have stuck by the team after last Thursdays disappointment.
I am sure many were there purely out of loyalty to the team and I doubt they expected anything more than what the teams served up.
One big plus for me was that parrots movement was excellent and we seem to have a proper striker on our hands

He certainly does look like the real deal.. hope he gets the kind of move he deserves, that will set him up for life.. but that also plays him regularly so he can kick on as a striker.

People had him written off as a waster and ne'er do well 2-3 years ago, when he wasn't 20 years of age.. glad he's proving them wrong, for him and for us as fans.

I am hearing the same "SH1T talk" about Evan Ferguson.... how he's "not good enough", "wasting his talent".. feck sake, he's still 21 as well. If he can get his injuries cleared up, I have no doubt he'll be a top class striker.

Adam Idah.. 25 years old. Maybe he's found his level.. but the Championship is on a par with most leagues in Europe, so if he could become a good Championship striker, he'd be alright too.

And who knows, we might find an Aldridge somewhere...

Settled back 5, decent prospects up front

Ogbene is 29, maybe the Euros will be perfect for him

Maybe Melia is a bit young, but De Zerbi coming into Spurs might see some of the youngsters getting a chance

(He was the one who brought Ferguson through at Brighton too.. might be a reunion that could work for both)
