Heimir Hallgrímsson Ireland Football Manager

What are u smoking, we were comfortable until the ref decided to hand a soft pen to England and put us down to 10...making England look like peak Spain 2008-2012 now when we all know their far from it..should have been a clear pen for Ferguson but nobody the smaller nation can't be getting decisions like that at Wemberley
Never mind what he's smoking,cranky. I'd be far more interested in what you're snorting cos it's mind bending stuff.?
 
Slightly off topic but whoever advised Jake O Brien to make that move to Everton should be shot out of a cannon.
I know the wages tend to be higher, but I don't understand the obsession of Irish players with having to move to either championship or, at best, relegation threatened prem clubs, above all else with the opportunities elsewhere in Europe.

I can understand the financial aspect certainly (its a short career and injuries etc), but he was embedded into a decent Lyon team who are currently in Europe and 2 pts of a CL place in France. They absolutely loved him there.

He's now 4th choice at Everton and watching lads jump above him internationally. At some point you have to put your career first and back yourself that the big contract will come along in time.

He probably needs a loan now in January which is insanity considering where was at the end of last season.

Agree with all that.

He's 23, he needs to be playing


You can only assume he was given assurances on signing about playing time that haven't been honoured.

He's wasting his time sitting on the bench at Goodison.

I would have assumed he’d be a regular starter for Everton if coming from starting regularly and playing well regularly for Lyon but Dyche prefers others ahead of him. Hindsight is great and all but I thought it looked a decent move at the time.

On last night, I thought the first half was good enough for the level of players we have in comparison to England. The shape was good and we should have had a pen. The red card and pen lead to a collapse which demonstrates who fragile the players still are despite some improved results against poor opposition. There isn’t an excuse for collapsing like that so quickl, 10 men or not.
