Biggest match of the campaign so far is Thursday night in Dublin vs Switzerland. Goalkeepers: Darren Randolph (Middlesbrough), Mark Travers...
Final squad for Denmark and Gibraltar. Teenager Luca Connell gets a surprise callup (another highly rated English-born lad that we could cap-tie...
Last night's 1-0 win against Georgia was much, much better. It wasn't outstanding, and we still conspired to make the last ten minutes very nervy;...
Ireland's Euro 2020 Qualifying campaign began yesterday in Gibraltar. We won 1-0 on an awful pitch in horrendous conditions - but even allowing...
I agree 100%, but in terms of a successor - Mick McCarthy seems to be the overwhelming favourite. Is he really any different in this regard to...
Can the FAI even afford to sack O'Neill? I was on the fence after November, but now I definitely feel as though they should go. The space we've...
James McClean is also out with a wrist injury. Starting to feel like a draw would be a phenomenal result.
It's hard enough to be optimistic these days. Declan Rice, in all likelihood, is set to declare for England, while Harry Arter is taking an...
Shane Long will miss out tomorrow with a knee injury. Looks like Graham Burke might even get a start.
Disappointing 2-0 loss in Paris. France missed lots of chances, but, that said, the two goals we conceded were sloppy, and Shaun Williams should...
First of two end-of-season friendlies for Ireland is tonight in Paris. As friendlies go, this one is fairly high profile and we are certain to...
Starting XI: Randolph; Christie, Duffy, Clark, Ward; Arter, Hendrick, Brady; McClean, O'Dowda, Murphy. Always a surprise in O'Neill's teams!
Final squad is confirmed. Walters, McCarthy, Richard Keough, and Sean Maguire are all injured. Meyler is suspended for the first leg. I read...
One of Denmark's key men this campaign has been Tommy Delaney, who is apparently of Irish-American extraction.
Yes, as good a draw as we could have hoped for. The Danes will be favourites, but playing at home second leg is key for Ireland. Like vs Bosnia...
A massively frustrating few days for Irish football. In the last twenty minutes last night, when the chips were down, we just didn't have the...
Two massive World Cup Qualifying matches for Ireland this week: vs Georgia in Tbilisi on Saturday, followed by the top of the table clash with...
Finished 1-1 in Dublin yesterday afternoon. Strange match, and a strange group. Ireland were dire for the first 45, but put Austria under more and...
Starting XI vs Uruguay: Randolph, Christie, Duffy, Long, Ward; Whelan, Arter, Hendrick; Brady, Hayes, Walters. 8 changes from Mexico.
Disappointing 3-1 loss to Mexico last night. We looked extremely rusty, and it's safe to say the experimental back 3 looked no more convincing...
It will be a small squad, mostly of Championship/fringe players, that will head State-side to play Mexico on June 1st. The remainder of the squad...
Three big matches for Ireland at the beginning of June: First, a friendly in New Jersey vs Mexico on June 1st. Then another vs Uruguay on June...
An ultimately frustrating 0-0 draw. We'll only remember it for the Taylor's horror tackle on Coleman. Had you offered me the draw before a ball...
Starting to look like a bit of an injury crisis. We'll be missing Hoolahan, Arter, McCarthy (probably), Clark, and others. Wales, meanwhile, will...
From this point on, each World Cup Qualifying match gets bigger and bigger. Next up is top-seed Wales in Dublin on March 24th. I genuinely think...
