You’re in two minds.
Accept the win and say to yourself, “who the hell do we think we are that we can suddenly ACCEPT wins?”
Or… or… you could ask, “what is the f**king point of this?”
A scrappy home win over Georgia frustrated a lot of people. Seamus Coleman made sure that the country got the job done but many are wondering to what end is this job? Where’s the future with shifts like this at home to the fifth seeded side?
Thank God for Seamus Coleman https://t.co/87lFeZCaj8 #IREGEO
