The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 19th November)

stealing a line from your mrs again, chesh?

 

Yup if kiko was from NI that’s a comfortable 1-0 win for them

 

Euro 2020 playoffs

1st round straight knockout
Slovakia v Ireland
Bosnia v Northern Ireland

Final straight knockout neutral venue (I think)
Winner v winner

 

3-1 win so not too bad after all. End of year report should read, must try harder.

 

Apart from the (admittedly unexpected) Kaz defeat, we were beaten twice each by WC quarter finalists, Russia & world #1 ranked Belgium. Difficult to excel in those circumstances.

Kaz away was actually the last game managed by Alex McLeish, who clearly was well past his sell-by date & apparently had been diagnosed with early onset dementia. Doubtful if Steve Clarke could have done better, tbh, but you never know.

We did well tonight & were missing the likes of Robinson +/or Tierney at LB, McTominay at DM, Griffiths at CF, & Coops at CB, Also forced to play Naismith to keep out McBurnie & the even more overrated Burke. That's where the real problem is, although McGinn has now scored 7 in 5 games, if I remember correctly. Nice haul for a midfielder at any level, but superb at international level. Trying so hard to be glass half full. Will keep me going until the play-offs.

 

Do you know who you are up against in the play-offs

 

Find out on Friday, I believe. Latest name to be bandied about is Hungary. Think I'm going to be on a cruise when it's played, unfortunately.

 

Could be a big mick, paddy scrap no one will want to host that match.

 

Who needs playoffs?

 

Those who haven't qualified yet, or is this a trick question?

 

Wont be a problem with Engerland no involved

 

No trick Eric.

I've come in at the tail end of this thread so I may be missing something?

 

Did you not see the love, from Kosovo, paddy's never had the home fans holding thousands of paddy flags up at an away game.

 

Don't worry, you look the worst of the four teams,so only see tears for the Jocks.

 

Both got away games first round, if you both win,game in Belfast not neutral venue.

 

It'll be a 32 counties by then so same as a home game for us

 

You're not attempting to take this thread off into the murky, political depths are you?

 

Nope. There’s enough babbling on about politics. Mine was a simple geography lesson
