Lack of sports media coverage on this has been really disappointing / depressing / frustrating. So many platforms have been quick to slaughter the FAI for any missteps but tumbleweed on this. @secondcaptains.bsky.social ????

If you rename Herzog Park while leaving up a statue of a Nazi-collaborationist who died on a bloody Nazi U-Boat, then, frankly, you're just giving an awful lot of justification to accusations thrown at this state.

It's dumb past words.

I suppose you have to factor in the “England” element where there is such a significant section of the population who will never admit that they got it so wrong and will take it to the grave

Plus, midfield is wiiiiiide open

Agreed. The drop off to Zirkzee from Cunha is really stark.

I think that the position that he’s (Sam P) been put in is insane. Clearly not ready physically and now he’s in the spotlight in a way that’s going to ensure that big runners are going to seek him out over & over in every game for the foreseeable.

Max Deegan, Larmour, Clarkson, Gus McCarthy, Frawley etc would all be first teamers elsewhere

100% agree - think McMillan will improve him massively btw but that’s a 2yr project. The policy of funnelling 90% of the best young talent into one franchise is really starting to hurt now.

Edwin Edogbo??? Nowhere near the level at scrum & ruck

That level of refereeing is unacceptable
