England 5 - 0 Ireland

Jordan Pickford is in goal for Lee Carsley's final England game in charge as he tries to ensure a top place finish and promotion from Nations League Group B2 at Wembley tonight against Ireland. 

No Seamus Coleman for the Republic as he is out injured, while Everton's hardly used centre-back, Jake O'Brien, is one of 12 players on the subs bench.

After a typically moribund first half, the card-happy referee reduced Ireland to 10 men and England went on to score 5 goals and surely make that top place finish secure. 

Congratulations to Lee Carsley for a job well done.

Big question: Has he or has he not been singing the National Anthem?

Or does this not matter any more?

He has not MK. His zip was tight. These hard-boiled eggs are commies. Poor from England. No spark to break Ireland down. That Collins is decent. Ireland well set up. Kane hasn't touched the ball. I'd bring Ollie on for the spiv.

Two 100% penalties for Ireland. Bizarre performance by the VAR buckos.

This inverted winger deal is a pile of steaming shit imo. Every England attack breaks down because these fellas, Gordon and mandueke, can’t cross the ball once they go pass the defenders

Paul, Kane and Walker are crap and way past it. Walker needs 5 touches of the ball before his brain wakes up. And Kane? Well it’s sad to see him on the slippery slope.

But will any England manager drop either of these two, or Mr Gobby aka Bellingham? I doubt it.

Harsh second yellow there. Agree CG. No idea why Paddy Carsley did not start Ollie. Mind you, look at the centre-half options on the bench. Paddy Carsley's defence is Premier League 16th.

Greece 1-0 up.

Nicely taken goal by the little rat.

Gordon wouldnt look nearly so bad if he didnt get such bad haircuts.

Perhaps a muzzy too... and a beard too... Oh and maybe a pair of shades

Took the twat 9 games CG. This is going to be 6-0, sadly.

Looks like our Irish lad isn’t going to get any minutes.

Yep. Three changes and no sign.

The red card turned the game, England wer3 running out of ideas, but how Ferguson didn't get a penalty in the first half is still a mystery.

6-0 on the cards, Paul.

O’Brian must be really shit if he can’t get into this Irish side.
Paul Ferry
17 Posted 17/11/2024 at 18:42:34
Who's he CG?
Colin Glassar
18 Posted 17/11/2024 at 18:44:29
O’Brien. Doesn’t he sit on our bench?
Paul Ferry
19 Posted 17/11/2024 at 18:46:13
Next to Begovic Colin.

This should easily be double figures.

Colin#16 In all fairness Conor, how could Ireland pick him when he's not playing club football.

Some of these Irish lads are pretty low on league ladders Christy but I take your point. That red card that was never a red card changed everything. Harwood-Bellis is dating Roy Keane's daughter and he's gonna get battered if he doesn't get her home for 11.

True, Christy. At least Branthwaite now has a few days to fully recover.

O’Brien might have to go out on loan until we get a proper manager who knows how to develop players.

Lee Carsley seems to be pretty good at that Colin.

I don’t see Cars being a premier league manager tbh. He might get the Irish gig though.
