No Irish connections, it's the Duke of Wellington you're looking for.

Our performance against France in the last qualifiers was miles better then this.
We've shit the bed and made it too easy for England to carve us open

They'll shite all over us. How ireland has remained in the B tier is something that still astounds me
Coleman, Brady and Doherty have been great servants, but there time should be up.
Well Coleman has anyway.
Wasn't Zippy an arsehole?
He was a nasty piece of work to Bungle.
Rice and Grealish - the two worst players to bloody score! Felt like it was inevitable with all the talk during the week.
England all over us. Ireland trying to give it a go but you can see a visible difference in quality. Getting caught out too easily. But you gotta remember there is a major difference in quality. England know there next 3 passes while Ireland are too slow to figure out the first one!
I don’t know how the manager is going to salvage something from this game.
As a footy fan no luck with my teams. On the bright side Italy smashed France yesterday. I’m half Italian so that’s a bonus.
In general, my three teams are doing awful. Hard times

Wel I suppose he was a bit tetchy, but look what he had to put up with. George was a fairly dizzy prick in all fairness.
Jesus Christ. Imagine caring enough to make a fecking banner.
He's looked a few years past it for the last 10 years.
He went from promising to past it in the blink of an eye.
He's one of the oldest looking 32 year olds I've seen.
I didnt say anything about them not playing for Ireland.
My point being all the focus on them from the Irish media and like I said you just knew they would end up scoring.
I said it to a few people during the week that when your best players are your two goalkeepers your know the team is in trouble.
So Carsley is going to walk this Nations League group playing slick attacking football and get the job receiving media praise and carrying the hope of a nation... A tale as old as time.
Bring back King Kenny.
Sad fecks to make that. That's more embarrassing than them then going on and scoring
No real surprises here, sure they invented the sport.
Yeah, it was whenever he got those groin injuries at Hull, that took a lot out his pace and intensity, then that knee injury later on pretty much finished off whatever pace he left.
Aye, setting themselves up to look stupid. They were at the least going to be on the winning team.
Yeah, he missed crucial years when he should have been kicking on.
That's actually mildly funny
We need a hybrid International rules test series à la what was done with Ozzie rules football.
See how they handle a sliotar.
Would have been funnier if they dressed as St Patrick.
They have to be hitting the target with those chances.
I’m starting to think we might not win the World Cup.
He just needs time, and less injuries, and better players.
I don't get why Kelleher hasn't left Liverpool yet or pushes for it. He's clearly never going to be a number one choice there.
My son will be 18 in 17 years so we just need to be patient.
The ITV commentator reeling off England players who could have chosen Ireland seems a bit sadistic.
At the rate our talent pool is going he will be grand.
Future England striker Evan Ferguson on.
Ah it's a good chunk of them alright, and usually is. There are loads of us in the UK. It's just that Grealish and Rice wore the shirt. That grates a wee bit for some.
Is there still time for him to save himself?
Stick that pitch invader on at right back if he has a good turn of pace.
It's never too late, England did invent the game after all.
Ah, with the injuries he’s going to have, he’ll end up being bustling target man who gets 3 goals a season.
Or in other words, the archetypal Irish striker. He couldn’t play for anybody else.
