Carragher with a classic ‘talking just to say something’ moment here. Had it myself on coaches courses or when pressed to analyze a random clip in 3 seconds from having first seen it. You can develop tunnel vision and be so convinced of your opinion, because of the need to say something, that you double down on it and see nothing else. If you step back and watch the clip a couple of times, you actually see that: The midfielder is tracking the run into the exact space Carragher says Konate should be in. That’s reason number 1 why Konate didn’t track him. Reason number 2 is that we don’t want our CB pulled all the way out to the half space if we can avoid it.

Even though I’m Irish, Ronaldo did not deserve the reception he got going off the field yesterday. The greatest player of all time.

Controversial shout but…. I think a league of Ireland 11 puts in a better performance away in Armenia tonight

Made feck all difference but there was a 4 minute 50 odd second stoppage between the foul and penalty being taken and the ref contrives to add 5 mins when there was plenty of other stoppages too then a 86 second "injury" stoppage in them 5 minutes and he plays 6 mins 4 seconds

Not an original observation I know, but English pubs are extremely shit compared to the Irish version, no bar stools, no chat from the barman, no craic, dreary, depressing, largely empty.

Derry away is basically just Dday now

Evan Ferguson will wear the No.11 shirt at Roma There’s suddenly going to be a lot of Roma shirts bought in Ireland 🇮🇪😂🇮🇹
