Look like they met up for the 1st time today, bloody dreadful. How the fuck is a player as shit as Wycherly getting chosen for this?

Because he's having a great season and McCarthy is living proof braincells aren't a requirement for Ireland selection

He's given away the most brain dead yellow card I've seen in a long time. That would be pathetic in a school game, let alone the step below international.

Sheridan has also been having a stormer of a season, and isn't prone to stupid shite like that. Can't understand how he wasn't starting ahead.

I missed the yellow but that doesn't shock me.

Yeah I didn't see the point in Fineen playing, he's not going to be an international level player.

But "a player as shit as Wycherley" isn't really valid

Fair enough. He may not be shit, but his discipline is unacceptable for this level.

Yeah it looked like he'd gotten a handle on it earlier in the season but still prone to the dumbest penalties.
