[Football] The official 'Best wishes to Aaron Connolly for tonight' thread

[Pogue Mahone]

The match is on Sky Sports Mix, which is excellent news for me, and anyone who has this as part of their package - I don't siubscribe to Sky Sports, but have this channel on Virgin Media.

Channel 520 for me.

Hope it comes in for you

I reckon he might. Best player in the pitch when he came on the other day.

Yes, it does look as if we have unearthed a gem, to coin a phrase, though he has been "cultivated" for a few years now and his progress comes as no surprise. I just hope that Potter and Co can keep his feet firmly on the ground, and he is amenable to advice, so that he is able to cope with the huge (deserved) sudden surge in publicity and praise. Not all players so young can cope with this.

- don't want to derail the tread but worth a punt I think.

If Bozza could add the kick-off time, this would be the match thread.

Asked at his pre-match press conference at the Stade de Geneva if it would be a gamble to start [Connolly] against the Swiss, McCarthy said: "Well, that's the question, isn't it?

"Asking me would I risk him, there's some suggestion that there is. I don't think there is.

"He's now made his debut. He had a cameo and did well in it and I think he will be feeling comfortable about himself, so no, I don't think it would be a risk at all to start him."

Great news. Good to see McCarthy revert away from the safe option. Hopefully our kid does the business. R.O.I win tonight and they qualify.

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't have SkySports but get SkySportsMix on my basic package. I thought I was going to have to watch it on a stream.

AC is 11/2 to score anytime, with Will Hill...£3 invested, wisely!

They are still out on the pitch with forks at the moment. Should go ahead but not a certainty.

 

[Mayonaise]

Pitch is heavy so please don't pick up any injuries Aaron. Other than that.. the best of luck!

 

[Mr Banana]

The Ireland players have just come out to warm up. Looks ok

 

[portslade seagull]

Good for him, show them what you can do and oh don't bloody get injured

13/2 at Unibet.

14/1 first or last.

Surprised that McCarthy picked both Connolly and Collins - I would have thought if he was picking Connolly as a striker it would have been instead of Collins.

Here is hoping he bags a couple of goals in an Irish win - even better - both of them get a couple of goals in a comfortable Irish win.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Alan Connolly according to Nick Mcarthy when just interviewed. So poor old Aaron misses out.....

Hopefully he'll Roll the Swiss defender's a few times .

 

[GooGull]

He’s too short will never make a striker
