Anyone else noticed the puzzle that face The ROI. Defeat to Holland will actually give them a chance of qualifying? Answers on a postcard

Having just watched the Ryder Cup I'm just wondering whether caddy Billy Foster and Steve Clarke are in fact the same person.

The reality is that now Pots are wedded to competitive performance we need a FIFA world ranking of 30 or above to regularly qualify for World Cups and a top 40ish for the Euro's. It's very doable at the moment but takes considerable investment Financially and Politically to achieve it over the long term

Roald Admunssen, Edvard Munch, Ibsen Grieg and Olle Gunnar Solskjær your boys took one hell of a beating

Imagine if that challenge had been on Bale. Fair play to Haaland trying to stay on his feet

Having seen Anderson regularly this season i wouldn’t hang around too long. He has masses of potential and was a stand out player in league two.

I know it’s been mentioned in the past but anyone any idea where Elliot (Billy) Anderson’s future lies. He’s had a great half a season at Bristol Rovers, 4th Div I know but is so young he’s clearly got some kind of future at Championship/Premier level.

Joey Barton’s saying he doesn’t know what’s happened. That it’s between Elliot and Newcastle. He’s trained with Bristol Rovers all week and never travelled.

And now any fighting age man has been banned from leaving the country so I would have to assume the game will be off now

If we’d just been invaded by the Americans would we be even considering wandering off for a game of football. Can’t believe any Ukrainian young man, could play football when their prime minister is asking for anyone to help defend the country whatever their age

You’d think wouldn’t you!!! But when it comes to money in sport no one gives a toss. Olympics in China, World Cup in Qatar can’t see anyone being that bothered about Russia invading a country in Europe i can’t imagine Poland will have any appetite to travel to Russia in the play offs. They could soon have bigger fish to fry with them.

Sad thing for the UK is the Wemberly staff and Met Police can’t control fans there, so any World Cup Bid is going down the toilet

In terms of team spirit and players playing for each other this group would take some beating going back a few decades.
