smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Randolph has just saved a penalty. Although not looking too promising for the Irish here as down to 10 men. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not disputing that that's why Derby are actually doing it but I don't really care about Derby and their reasons. I am saying from the perspective of the players as human beings that they should be rehabilitated because they're young men who have a long life ahead of them, chastising them indefinitely for their crimes the way an institution like a football club the size of Derby could would be hugely damaging to their wellbeing. Especially when we find out that part of the reason Lawrence has been drinking and being daft is because he's lost someone he's very close to recently, that's a very human thing to do and he needs supporting through that at the same time as being punished. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree. They have lots of money therefore they should all be rounded up and shot 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I did say if we could “fluke” a win against the Swiss we would be through along with Denmark (taking it for granted they will beat Gibraltar). Stranger things have happened in sport before and will happen again. I’m just hoping it is our turn to defy all logic tomorrow evening. I always look on the positive side with both Ireland and Boro. I did actually mean Georgia, my bad!! I watched that game against the Swiss, and while we were better, unfortunately the Swiss are a lot better than the Georgians. We got well trounced in the end, and only Rando pulling off a few worldies kept the score down. I don't see us beating the Danes next month though, so its probably playoffs for us (I think thats how it works anyway?) Link to post Share on other sites

We would be in the playoffs due to our wonderful ability to come last in the group. But, because Denmark would qualify via the Euros Ireland would take their place in the nation’s league playoffs. Or something ridiculously similar to that...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 the precept of the Nations league is farcical. its all about revenue. at the time people enjoyed it but there doesnt seem to be much credo for the winners ,infact its nigh on forgotton already . Now it really gets murky when you look at teams like Scotland who still can qualify for the euros due to thier gruop placing in the nations league , AT a time when everyone was crying out for fewer games they added this to the calendar . similar to the system within the champions league where the third placed team goes into the uefa cup . makes a complete mockery of the initial qualifying for each competition.
