4. Voicing opinion

An absolute disgrace that Brian has not been involved in the set up at any level in so long. Cutting off your nose to spite your face. The knowledge that man has for the game is second to none and he has been right under the FAI noses too. https://t.co/PloKMtZKnP

5. Bleak

@SecondCaptains I asked the guy who served me my coffee if he watched the match last night. He said yes and stared blankly in to the middle distance. I placed the money on the counter and left quietly. It's an unofficial national day of mourning.

6. Bleaker

Did he make some weird substitutions, gifting Eriksen the run of midfield? https://t.co/m5bepRM5VY

9. I’m not crying, you’re the one that’s crying

Buffon choking up again. Says he doesn’t want to cry in front of the kids watching at home on TV who dream of playing for Italy. Apologises. Hero
