The @FAIreland are such a bunch of cowards to put the players in this position. The players are clearly rattled and demoralised. Just take the responsibility out of their hands and #stopthegame

All I’m going to say is that there hasn’t been a corner in the Kosovo-Ireland match, never mind a goal.

I am now putting on a tin hat.
A plain one.

Just rewatched all five series of Breaking Bad.
The final episode is comically bad.
It is so startlingly out of kilter with the sure-footed horror and humour of the rest that I can only imagine Netflix demanded a big finish.
And I like to think Vince Gilligan was taking the piss.
