It's probably reflective of the state of the current US administration that I'm not sure if this would be a positive or negative outcome for Ireland. Or if it would make any difference which of the 2 flags were planted on us.

Brilliant article Gavin.

This is shocking. Worst defensive performance in a long time

Just need two more to get ahead of Hungary on goal difference....

It's a polite way of indicating that I'm interested in Robert's opinion for its own sake. I don't have an agenda and I'm interested in his take.

It's clear at this stage she will win. But I don't think the desire to see someone who is an alternative to a candidate as bad as Humphreys should mean we overlook her flaws either.

She was willing to support Gemma O'D's nomination for the presidency though? At a time when the wheels were clearly off there? Higgins and Robinson were politicians of much greater substance in my opinion. I believe it's very possible to have supported either of them and not support Connolly.

I was roaring at the telly for them not to score in the corner at the end.. Not being able to rely on kickers is a killer

Hi Robert, genuine question here....I know Humphreys is a terrible candidate, but doesn't Connolly's support of Gemma, Daly and Wallace show extremely poor judgement for a presidential candidate? Is it that she is the best of 2 unfit candidates, or do you believe her other attributes override this?

That was the moment

The people of Kerry need to put this gobshite back where he came from.

Balacoune has speed but hasn't really pushed on. Hard to think of any other really quick wingers in any of the provinces in the last few years.

Who do we have?
