Smalling doesn't even make the squad these days and Jones is only on the bench. From what I've heard, Rice looked better at DM for Ireland than he has at CB for West Ham?
It is. And much like John Delaney, not a very funny one.
I, for one, am amazed that having a combustible assistant with the self-control of a toddler with a 7-cans-of-Coke-a-day habit has come back to bite us in the arse.
Arter out means only 1 Premier League midfielder in the squad. Although in fairness McCarthy and Brady would normally be in.
He has been Ireland's best player in the few friendlies he has played. But that doesn't mean much at this point. The likes of Meyler, O'Dowda and Kevin Long have looked good on their debuts before going back to their clubs and not doing much in the club game after. Rice looks a player in the making but Pellegrini under huge pressure so might go for experience over kids
Well that's just brilliant. Luckily, with our depth of talent, we'll probably get away with that one. Roy doesn't seem to be taking the title 'assistant' literally.
Can't really blame him, he was completely out of his depth against Liverpool.
In fairness to him, he just announced funding for my home town to get a new stadium and training facilities so he has gone up a little bit in my estimation of him. Now he is pond life instead of pond scum.
Can I declare for England too?
Lack any sort of organization. Poor squad but shouldn’t be this bad. Expected a loss but not a hammering
Watching this match he should declare for England...
It's really sad seeing Ireland like this. Before they were capable beating any team in the world. Robbie, Roy, duff ,O'Shea,given, dunne. Now who the bloody hell do we have? We're NEVER gonna have a team half as good as that again are we? Plus none of our irish players are in any quality premier league team. Says a lot.
There's always the Rugby.
I'm actually more excited about Canada these days
Can I declare for England too?
I never bought into the team is garbage and we should be happy with any old trash that was served up to us. But this squad actually is garbage.
Jesus poor Ireland. This is bad.
If we're to take any consolation from this, this isn't close to our first team.
Just saw the score, wtf????
There's no consolation in that list of players they just listed out. The good ones are only average at best. Like shit you can't use missing Harry Arter as a legitimate excuse.
And who the feck is Shaun Williams and why the feck are we calling up random 31 year olds? This shit is just embarrassing now.
We are absolutely shocking.
Wow, just wow.
Not to discredit Wales too much, but imagine either of these two sides against England?
Who's that fella? Well done to him for scoring.
Is he the guy who plays for Millwall?
Can't believe we scored to be honest
Feck me, the squads decimated, but never expected to be turned over like this.
Dear Oh Dear.
7 of of the 14 Wales players who played tonight were English. 5 of the Irish players were English.
Remember when the head of the Welsh FA said the next manager would ‘definitely not be English’.
Wow think they'll be in the wilderness for a while after that performance. Jon Walters hardly played for eight months and he's still their best striker?!

He isn't, we'd a lot of injuries as well as a stubborn manager who won't give anyone else a chance.
His poor dad.
Must feel like I do insisting to my son that he can only ever support United, while all his friends flit between City and Real Madrid.
I know people say you should stick with the manager and that but it really does need a change. It should have happened after that Danish game because the manner we lost was embarrassing and with the recent negative press coming out, It's just a matter of when and not if
But the worst thing is who in the name of god would want to take this job over with the resources we have?

Shite.
Wales would give them a game on tonight’s performance.
Thought they were excellent tonight .
Yep. As bad as Ireland were the football Wales played was class
Pretty obvious to me that we should be, and probably will be, a League C team.
I'd nearly go as far as a League D team
