[Football] The official 'Best wishes to Aaron Connolly for tonight' thread

[GT49er]

Perhaps because last season he was injured and then couldn't get a game for a League One team.

"Well, maybe not quite, but ............................."

 

[Rogero]

Ireland have no midfield.

 

[Mr Banana]

Callum O'Dowda is warming up

 

[Nottseagull]

Hughton praising Connolly pre-match on Talksport - good player, can make things happen, or words to that effect.

So why not play him then Chris? - might have saved your job! Well, maybe not quite, but .............................

TBF, GP didn't think he was good enough until the City game.

 

[Mr Banana]

He's on his own up front now but being marked by a Swiss lad who's been booked. The coach is screaming at him to be careful and leave a yard

 

[LamieRobertson]

Swiss quite good at feigning injury

 

[dazzer6666]

AC is getting very frustrated with his team-mates inability to pass the ball to a white shirt......

 

[Mancgull]

Swiss quite good at feigning injury

At it all the time.

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Duffy has not been good tonight

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Duffy booked - misses the next match - Denmark at home

 

[Pevenseagull]

phew

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Connolly off - not surprised - largely anonymous in this half.

 

[Thompson720]

Connolly off. Hogan on.

"We want our celery, we want our celery" - Withdean J Block

 

[Mancgull]

The ref has been a real homer. Connolly subbed. Good, don't want him knackered for Saturday.

 

[Driver8]

Connolly off - not surprised - largely anonymous in this half.

Hasn’t exactly had a lot of service.

 

[portslade seagull]

Safe and sound

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Jeff Hendrick has been sh*te tonight - put Hourihane on

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Thank Christ for that. Shit pitch worse team to play in

 

[Nottseagull]

Hope this doesn't affect his confidence for Villa.

Safe and sound

Well let's just make sure the plane gets back safely first.

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Hasn’t exactly had a lot of service.

He has been running around like a headless chicken most of the time.

The Irish have been a lot better this half and Connolly was never in the right position when the ball came into the box
