[Football] Ireland v England official match thread

[Guinness Boy]

A thread for the game rather than Ireland’s bench or England’s non singer.

Carsley promises we’ll see a change of style, playing attacking football with freedom.

Sounds good.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Tracksuit not waistcoat. Good.

 

[Eeyore]

I can't see England winning in Dublin. I know Johnny Sexton has retired, but they've still got too much for us. I'm going for 30-17

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Good to see Anthony Gordon get a start

 

[ManOfSussex]

England Women beat Ireland Women by 4 wickets. Kate Cross took 6/40 then 38 NO with 15 Overs to spare.

Maguire, really!!!

A bold claim, when several of England’s best attacking players are unavailable.

 

[Clive Walker]

Come on Ireland!

We’ll see. His under 21s played similarly to De Zerbi’s first season here. Gordon knows it very well.

Ireland will be a bit agricultural I suspect. Rice and Grealish might get a kick or two.

Good to see Anthony Gordon get a start

Good and Anthony Gordon in the same sentence.

 

[Marty McFly]

Quite a lengthy pre match handshake

 

[Worried Man Blues]

C'mon ENGLAND!!!!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Not sure the Irish coach is singing their anthem. Can’t wait for the Daily Mail article.

 

[London Irish]

Doubt if many of the second or third generationers sing Amhrán na bhFiann - no one makes a meal of it

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Good and Anthony Gordon in the same sentence.

Not a big fan then?

 

[Butch Willykins]

Is Michael D Higgins an actual Leprechaun?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Not a big fan then?

Haha, no, a nasty cheat on the pitch who happens to look as though he's wandered in from the set of the Walking Dead.

Maguire. Collwill at left back. Grealish who never plays. Pickford, Worse line up than Southgate

 

[London Irish]

Duffers would have buried that

I think Southgate's still available if you prefer.
