    It is worrying the lack of technical ability in the players coming through these days. Even when we were playing crap but relatively successful football under Trap we always had players who could control the ball and play a pass. Now there's absolutely nothing.

    I know he hasn’t flowing locks and plays for Bournemouth (note: plays) but there’s no way Gavin Kilkenny wouldn’t be showing a bit more in there tonight. Even if he wasn’t, at least he’d be learning something for 2024 or 2026. Also, Elbouzedi.

    Even though the inevitable defeat is coming, it’s nice to have the nerves this far into a game rather than the usual combination of despair and boredom. Been a long time.

    Ireland have looked great to this point but serious questions have to be asked about Portugal's back line. So easy to get in behind and turn, Ireland probably deserve to be 2-0 up.

    Dribble in-field and away from defenders, pass it to RB and run into box for a header. Rinse and repeat. If AWB wasn't horseshit I could almost see him getting 10 open-play goals. One thing is for sure tho, him, Bruno and Pogba in 1 side is gonna be banter.

    There were a few chances that Ireland should have taken such would have them the game. They were actually decent for long periods tonight which is encouraging.

    I’d love to have seen Parrott come on instead of McClean and, as well as Idah did for a kid, that second half was made for McGoldrick. Such a pity he fucked off.

    Being blinded by 2 headed goals against Champ opposition is why you're keeping my money warm for me.

    To be fair, putting away some scrappy headed goals against champ opposition would have served us really well last season to beat all those LOW BLOCKS.

    Today's FIFATV offerings include:

    14:00 DR Congo v Tanzania
    14:00 Kenya v Uganda
    17:00 Madagascar v Benin
    17:00 Namibia v Congo
    17:00 Niger v Burkina Faso

    Consider them a warm up for Sancho taking on Hungary's low block tonight. If you're not watching Andorra - San Marino, that is.

    We also have a site called OneFootball showing Asian qualifiers for free, apparently. Japan - Oman starting at the wonderfully precise time of 11:14.

    Do employers have any legal ability to force an employee to get a jab?

    I assume not, would doubt there's anything of the sort written into a player's contract and what else are they going to do, sack them and let them go elsewhere for free?

    The issue is very few PL players are obese and/or soft shites who need to conform with their peers in order to make themselves feel better about themselves.

    Oman beating Japan that One Football site above is truly spoiling us AFC mandem.

    Yeah the only way it would work is if all clubs in the top leagues went in on it together.

    For non football-club employers, there's already precedent for it so I don't understand why it's such a big thing (I am required to have a hepatitis B vaccine in order to work in the NHS, not sure exactly which NHS staff it applies to).

    I wasn't "forced" to do anything. I was free to choose not to have a hep B jab, and the NHS would have then been free to not employ me.

    You care for sick people that need protecting from disease. Footballers kick balls around.

    There are some careers where personal liberty is less important than the safety of the people you spend time with. Football is one of them, actually. Hence mandatory shinpads and certain types of tackle being against the rules. Mandatory vaccines though? Really? They're at practically no risk. Completely OTT.

    Having players out with long covid seems an operational risk football teams would probably want to avoid when there is a lab-made vaccine available.

    Probably not as much of an operational risk as having Xhaka on the pitch mind.
