Re: Will this place take over from Boards?

Boards.ie has taken away viewing access to non members to the footie tread. This maybe an opportunity to create a tread that has good varying opinions, debate etc. This might drive traffic towards gubu.ie..footie is on all the time. Always current and new incidents to discuss.

Completely agree. There is no skill in scoring with your hand. Minimal skill in a hand pass and there doesn't seem to be a legitimate way of tackling

I can definitely see why the sport hasn't taken off in any other country

Re: Argentina vs Brazil abandoned

Not sure if this would belong in the sports forum or the covid forum. It seems there were four premierleague players playing in the match. Brazil is on England's red list, and England is on Brazil's red list in terms of covid travel. Apparently these four players provided false information to healt...

Re: Portugal Ireland

Who do you want to replace Kenny with? Who is going to pay off his contract? How would the FAI pay for another manager on top of that? Who would take the job? Facts are, this is a young team of limited talent with a really bad domestic scene and an atrocious grassroots level coaching network, relia...

Re: Portugal Ireland

What can you say after that? 112th in the world and we get a last minute draw. Brutal stuff

Surely all the media defenders for the saviour of Irish football can call it for what it is now. 1 win in 15. Just not acceptable.

Hi 5s all round from the media and journalists this morning. Massive progress under Kenny bla bla bla

6 points from the next 2 games is what is required before people get carried away with themselves

Ireland still have 0 points on the board but somehow that doesn't matter anymore

Re: Portugal Ireland

Wasn't the ref that beat Ireland last night, it was allowing crosses into the box and letting one of the best scorers of headed goals to ever play the game to get on to the end of them. It was tired legs and poor squad depth. So what if the ref was smiling and laughing with the player who had just ...

Re: LOI TV: the new way to watch Irish football

With RTE dropping Soccer Republic and Irish broadcasters now largely boycotting Irish football, LOI TV is the new way for fans to see the domestic game. I wonder if mods would agree it would be a good idea to sticky this link to level the playing field: https://www.loitv.ie/en-int/page/home (Games ...

I thought Matip did very well against Lukaku, they really seemed to favour him against VVD for Lukaku to press.
