I didn't even know Ireland had a golden generation 😂😅
Same mate Liam scales in tht ?
We’ve a few decent young players but when all our hopes are on a 19 year old playing for Brighton it’s not great
I think he means Northern Ireland
Ferguson at Brighton. That's it
because they dont have one
very overrated players
This team would be incredibly lucky to not get relegated
They’re by far the weakest team in their group. They’d be lucky to even beat anyone. Probably 2 draws against Finland, and a draw to Greece, everything else will be a loss
@@isaacjones5687nah they are a bit better than finland come on
@@tyrionheirofaenarion2564Finland have no depth at all but their first team is stronger and much more experienced than Ireland. Lukas Hradecky is No.1 for the most inform team in Europe, their mid field is stronger than Ireland and so is their attack. Only thing ireland has over them is defence. And if Ireland were better than Finland, they’d be the ones in the playoffs, not the ones finishing 5th in their group
Irish guy’s delusional lol nothing new here
@@isaacjones5687 yeah apologies just checked finlands squad, they are definetely better than ireland😅
The side you listed finishes 21st in the prem mate
They boutta get negative points 😭
The one we currently have is lower table championship standard tbh, can barely beat Qatar and Luxembourg ffs . Faroe Islands and Gibraltar are the only teams we actually know we’re going to beat now a days.
That team is shocking 😂
🤣
The Irish Guy needs to start doing 5 year retrospective reactions for his Ireland videos
Facts
You give football hipsters grief then want every 18 year old playing in a foreign league capped haha
Playing abroad or having a foreign name = world class according to him
And this is the reason why Ireland will get nowhere - all they have is one good goalkeeper and a decent centre forward, that’s not even enough for 5-a-side lol
@@testadalord01432Bazunu is the good goalkeeper by the way
@@testadalord01432they actually have a lot more the Ireland fans want brought through there’s a 18 year old midfielder horan on loan at Blackpool from Brighton there your boy cdm hodges of wolves then the pacey winger vata at Celtic we have good young players coming through im not saying we are going to win anything but us Irish just at least want to be there
Is this the same golden generation that could only beat Gibraltar in qualifications for the euros?
lol well half of them aren't playing and are badly managed anyway. As he said in the video.
I just want everyone here to know that as a fellow Irishman, we're not ALL this deluded when it comes to the talent of our squad
I second this
I'm English on Paper Ireland should come 2nd in the Group behind England who will run away with it, but it's Ireland so I don't know
@@lorddarlo6194On paper Ireland are by far the worst team in your group lol. Finland and Greece have a lot less depth but a much stronger starting XIs than Ireland.
Finland have Hradecky in goal, who’s number one for the most inform team in the world. Their defence is shocking tbf, but they have a Midfield consisting of Jensen, Kamara and Kairinen and an attack consisting of the best strikers in the MLS and Serie B.
Greece have a man who was Benfica Number one for 5 years in net, a defence consisting of Prem players like Baldock, Tsimikas and Mavropanos as well as some decent back up players from Serie A and the Greek league. Their midfield is quite weak in fairness but in attack they have the MLS player of the year and the one of the best strikers in the Eredivise.
Ireland have one of the worst keepers to grace the prem in net (tbf wasn’t really his fault, Southampton were horrendous), someone who’s only played 50 professional games by the age of 25 in goal, and someone who conceded 9 goals in one match and has been banished to Bournemouths U21s. In defence they have a Finished Doherty, a Finished Shane Duffy, a Finished Enda Stevens and a Finished John Egan, with Ryan manning who cannot defend to save his life and inexperienced youngsters as back up. Their midfield consists of lower championship and Scottish Prem level players. And their attack relies on an 18 year old boy who’s gone 12 games without a goal, and spurs, Brighton and Norwich rejects.
John O’Shea has aged like a Japanese lady. He still looked about 25 when he was playing for Reading and now he looks 60.
You mean like a female character in One Piece like Big Mom for example.
You think that’s what 60 looks like?? Man, your family must be beyond blessed because 😂😂, I had to make sure I had the right John O’Shea, just looks 30 and a tad bit depressed.
*Irish guy ranting about the Irish national team not qualifying for anything*
Me, a Norwegian 22 year old who hasn't seen my national team in any major tournament in my entire lifetime, and bottles every qualifier with the likes of Haaland, Bobb, Nousa and Ødegaard: First time?
Finland have only ever qualified for one major tournament, but at least it was in my lifetime lol. Also we won our first game meaning we had a 100% win/loss ratio for a couple days, but even then nobody remembers that because it was overshadowed by something pretty horrible. We just suck.
I’ve seen us in 2 Euros and that’s it, rest of it has been embarrassing as an Irishman
Me, a Polish guy, only seeing my NT embarass themselves nn big tournaments, despite having a dude, who spent the past 5 years crying, that he deserves a Ballon D'Or, to the point that I'd rather not see them qualify xd
As a Norwegian Canadian the fact that we didn’t make the euros is actually a joke, the 5 names you mentioned plus raw unproven talent with huge upside like hauge etc, I guess I at least got to see one of my nations at a World Cup lol
I got to watch us miss two consecutive WCs while being one of the most successful NTs ever. At least we won the World Cup and the Euros during my lifetime tho.

Here is the complete table of what the premier league would look like so far if all of the Irish guys predictions came true (including everton’s point deduction). And yes I rewatched through every video to make this. For any match weeks that he didn’t predict, I just used the real score of that game for the table.
respect for writing it out
The fact chelsea are still 10th 😂😂😂
He couldn't predict getting wet if it was raining 😂😂😂
it isn’t terrible
It's not really that bad honestly @@colmbolger2109
That team is bang avarge would go down in the prem without much of a fight
Calling this a golden generation is hilarious. You’d be lucky to even qualify for a competition in the the next 10 years 😂😂😂
Honestly mate I’d rather have no manager than Rob page
I would like to see rob succeed but he’s so inconsistent. We go from beating Croatia to drawing with Armenia to a game where we should’ve beaten Turkey about 3-0
Apparently the FAI have made such a mess of things they can only offer like 200k a year or something.. massive pay cuts is the barrier in getting a quality manager it seems
Surley that’s not true? €200,000 a year is nothing for a manager, Steven Naismith gets more than that at Hearts. Rob Page gets 6X that.
Has anyone noticed, the Irish Guy doesn’t say, “Christ above,” that much anymore. It used to be his catchphrase.
Maybe hes muslim😂
what?@@naam697
That's why the videos gotten stale
The fact that the FAI got turned down by Anthony Hudson speaks volumes.
Sure Anthony Hudson did.....OK in his brief time as US caretaker (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat in a reserve-team friendly vs. Serbia), but his previous stint with Colorado Rapids of MLS?.......8 wins, 10 draws, 28 losses.
You got turned down by Chris Coleman. Did wonders in the Euros and was a decent manager before that, ever since he’s got Sunderland relegated to league one, went to China, and managed a mid table Greek team
Anthony Hudson is class tho
Michael my boy, you remind me of myself like 10 years ago, when I still believed that Greece could go better. Don't worry, it'll go away and you'll realise you're just bad. Speaking from experience
At least you won something once Ireland have never even been close to smelling a football trophy.
@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986 Well, I guess you're right on that 🙃
Although that's my thing, you see, I was 7 back then, not remembering much, and I thought that "we'll do that again". I guess we won't 😁
And truth being said, at least Greece is trying in the last couple years again
@@Unclekase Let's be honest Otto Rehhagel was a genius, a miracle worker we might never see again. Your players back then were good, but they needed someone like him to turn them into the best team in Europe. And look at the bright side, at least you're no longer losing against the Faroe Islands
Here in Poland we're still living the dream of the 1970s and the 1980s. In 1974 we finished third (and had a great shot at winning the whole thing), with Lato winning the Golden Boot, and Żmuda winning the Young Player of the Tournament. That Polish team had some of the best players in the world and they were only denied transfers to the biggest clubs because of politics. Lubański (who got tragically injured right before the tournament in West Germany) was a top target for Real Madrid, the most talented player Poland has ever produced. Real were also willing to pay twice the amount Barcelona splashed on Cruyff on Kazimierz Deyna, our midfield maestro. Lato outscored Gerd Müller, no comments needed. But even taking all of that into account, we have to remember about Kazimierz Górski, our coach, a genius who made all of this work
Fast forward to the present day... I mean, I don't have to say anything, just look at our Euro qualification group. Three wins in this group, two of them against the Faroe Islands. And we still have a chance to qualify via the playoffs. Thanks UEFA for destroying every last bit of prestige of the European Championship
@@zosiazaremba7479 Totally. Rehhagel carried this team, that's why it crumbled when he went away, and he'll always be a legend here.
And definitely, that's a bright side too.
As for Poland, yeah, just like so many of the Eastern block nations that were so great in the 70s-90s, mostly political shit helped to destroy these teams. One of the same with Hungary, where my wife is from, and for years the team was a bunch of shit. This has changed by now, Hungary really is a joy to watch lately, although still, the politics of what's behind that is a whole different conversation.
As for UEFA, on that part I'm really scared for the future really. FIFA and UEFA are really trying to destroy football honestly, and much as I love it, I don't wish for any player to play 80 games a year. Shame indeed.
@@Unclekase Hungary is the Golden Standard, we should try to replicate them. What Marco Rossi did with this team is kind of incredible. But then again, Rossi has been working with the Hungarian national team for years. For contrast, our current manager Michał Probierz is the FIFTH appointment since Adam Nawałka resigned after World Cup 2018. No wonder we're a mess. But here's the thing. In the nineties things were bad, really bad. So much corruption in the league and on the international stage it was dreadful. But here's the thing, those players from the past, mostly cucumbers from the Polish Ekstraklasa and benchwarmers from mediocre leagues abroad, had never dropped points twice during one qualifying campaign against an opponent as weak as Moldova. We have players from Barcelona, Napoli, Juventus, Arsenal and we're somehow worse than when our star player was warming the bench at Wolfsburg. I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this
Why would you not have Dara O’Shea in the back line? A prem defender
Can someone create this team in football manager and see how they perform in the Premier league?
Not really. Whoever they want isn’t available until April (probably signifying they’ve chosen someone who’s currently in work) so he’s taking over a couple of unwinnable friendlies. I look forward to the very justified panic video next month when they bring back Mick McCarthy.
Does Ireland still even *have* a Golden Generation? Or is it Golden by Irish standards?
We don't have standards so it probably is a golden generation
Irish guy - Look at me build a premier league team
Selects practically over half the team from the championship 😂.
Just a bit of banter. Love the channel 😁
A golden generation isn’t going to be primarily made of players in the championship.
Maybe it’s time to accept that we are a finished footballing nation? Seriously, it’s been almost 10 years since we last played in a major tournament, it’s getting embarrassing for us as the days role by.
That does tend to happen when your best players all leave for England
Feel bad for your nation. You have talented players like Ferguson and Kelleher but you just don't have the manager to work with them
@@O7FTBL exactly and it’s gutting 😞
@@O7FTBLWales have Rob Page at the Wheel and a team full of league one players, and even he managed to go to the World Cup, he had even less experience than Stephen Kenny. Even Steven Clarke is a pretty terrible manager and he’s got Scotland to the Euros twice in a row. At some point you have to blame the players and board and not the manager.
Scotland went 22 years
Therriy Henry & Gallas Broken The Ireland Football
We’ve all been waiting for this video 😂😂😂
This team is awful. Just cause their okay in the championship doesn't mean Jack.
Congratulations to Ireland on making the World Cup quarter finals in 2026.
Good video . Well done
I’ve been waiting weeks for this rant😂
Before watching the video: I've been waiting for this since I saw the news about the manager :D
O'Shea...my reaction was like WTF! It's like when the TV producer rings Father Ted on Craggy Island when the funfare arrives and says "Father, you were our 1st choice" when the camera pulls back to see a list of 10 other candidates ahead of him all crossed out with a black marker.
That's the Ireland job
Steve Cooper.
Go get him.
If you think Steve copper is gonna go from the premier league to managing Ireland who can’t afford to offer a quarter of his wage at Forest then I’ve got news for you mate. And why would he go for the Ireland job, if he wanted to manage a national team, the Welsh job is very much on the line, I’m sure he’d rather manage his country on good wages than a failing Ireland team
On board with that
The idea alone of the video Irish guy would make for that appointment would be priceless. Other than that, former prem managers have landed in far more obscure positions after the fact.
@@isaacjones5687 You didn't have to tell it like it is Marge 😟
this is the most championship team i've ever heard tf
There are rumours that Szmodics will be in the Hungary squad in march
Should have had a few caps by now
Can’t wait for the Irish Guy to do a full rant on how Szmodics was never good enough anyway when this happens 😂
This Irish team would barely survive relegation, and that's if Forest and Everton get points deducted
We’d be lucky to survive the championship never mind the premier league
This team doesn't sound like a PL team. At best a playoff chasing Championship side imo
remove Ferguson and Kelleher that tam finishes 20th in League 1
Copper generation
Troy parrott is finding form again in erediversie could be good on the bench
I laughed so hard when I saw John O’Shea was appointed in the interim 😂 as I was looking forward to the rant
So soon as I saw this announcement I’ve been waiting for this video. We’re doomed
Got Alex Murphy at Newcastle too
Congratulations in advance to Graham Potter, the new Ireland manager!
Michael, thats Carabao Cup winning Caoimhin.
Klopp to manage Ireland there is a lot of Liverpool fans in Ireland so and I'm actually friends with Jurgen you can trust me and he said yeah nah mate innit bun the one year break from football I'm just going to manage both Liverpool and Ireland like it's fifa
Just start liking rugby 😂 you guys are amazing there
Yo Irish guy
I am in Ireland 🇮🇪 for College from Nigeria🇳🇬
Much love❤
hell yeah dude nigeria rocks
Here man, lol, it could be worse. No one can ever take away from the fact that John O'Shea spent considerable time around Alex Ferguson and many other great players, let's just see where it goes. And I know that being a former Ferguson players is kind of a cursed chalice in terms of his former players records, but it could be grand. Let's see. I'd appoint him just because of the people he's been around. Let's hope he applies his potential knowledge!
Caomihin kelleher is older than bazunu and never was a number 1 goalkeeper for a club team and as a result should not be starting keeper for ireland. Wait until Alison comes back from injury and he'll be warming the bench again and continue for the foreseeable future unless he leaves Liverpool which he should've done years ago. Before anyone comes at me i would like to say I want kelleher to succeed but he doesn't stand a chance no matter how many league cup finals he wins unless he leaves Liverpool. Shay given said it before he's not young anymore (hes 26 this year), he needs to be a 1st choice keeper if he should be seriously considered as a 1st choice for ireland
John O'Shea also having the Life of Riley the only person seen at FAI Headquarters in months. Is the Ambassador for The Europa League Final which is in Dublin this year he was appointed that by UEFA. Revealed at the draw for the last 16 that an English team would definitely be in the final. Now probably appoints himself as the Interim Irish Manager too. He's also the Director of Football at the FAI. Nice money for him. 3 jobs until the Europa League is finished.
Become manager then… I’d say that team would maybe finish 18th at most
Top heavy in goalkeeper and maybe central striker positions
Time to run the sim on football manager
We in Cymru don't even have a Golden Generation, just a bunch of kids who have the play for the Seniors & U21s at the same time.
Would like to see his reaction if Jose becomes the coach
As a Rovers fan, Moran definitely has the quality but can get lost in games very easily. Definitely not ready for even the Premier League by a long shot. Szmodics is quality though, will score goals no matter what
I remember watching that Ireland video when it was released thinking we’re just as bad (Scotland) now it’s all looking as great as it has in years with some proper players who aren’t even getting a game
Irish guy wadii wangu
that team would 100% finish in the top 20 of the premier league - maybe top 18
Every lad that’s even slightly athletic plays either rugby or Gaelic football in Ireland. That’s what most Irish people prefer and prioritise and that’s what they’re good at.
Any gaa player who could make it in the premier league would do it, issue is very few are good enough.
A lot of them aren’t good enough to play in the prem but still could play league of Ireland or in the lower league in England.
So the option js
Play pro football for an average wage
Or play GAA whilst working a full time job, you might even get your uni degree paid off for it.
If you get cut from your pro team and you can’t get another contract you are unemployed.
If you don’t make the GAA side one year you’ve still got a job at least.
GAA is a much safer option which is why they take it over football.
Indeed, it’s easy being a big fish in a small pond, as they say.
This is how every American soccer fab feels. Our national team has the talent to actually comlete with the world's best, and yet our Federation is content to simply double down on the same stale, corrupt system that has led us to failure after failure.
I mean we're literally cheering to LOSE in copa america this summer so the manager might get fired before the world cup in 2 years
He once played for Sunderland at one point
I mean it could be worst. You could a US fan or Mexico coached by pe teachers
Just because it's an Irish golden generation doesn't mean it's a good team. O'shea will do fine for what's realistically expected of them.
Real Maryland Monarchs. That's a name I never thought I'd hear uttered on a channel with over 100000 subscribers.
Sammy Szmidic would be mint only one of the current ireland 11 id keep are Ogbene,Scales,Browne, ferguson and Manning the rest can go
Bro Ireland are a decent championship slandered team and I think they will have a shock win against a decent team
As someone who worked at Reading when both Clement and O’Shea were there you want John O’Shea running it over clement trust me
He is a standby manager
Maybe they should give Bo Svendsson a ring
He’s gonna turn out to be the next pep now
Kevin Zefi is gonna come to us also Justin Ferizaj 🇦🇱🔥
You didnt even mention Alex Murphy
In the premier league, I do believe this team would survive, but there would be some absolutely devestating losses against Arsenal and Man City, if they actually stay with 3-4-2-1. I reckon place 14-16.
That said; club football have better possibilities at shaping a team, so it's a hard thing to guess at.
As for the future in Nations League, I do reckon this Ireland team WILL get a second place, and I wouldn't even be surprised if they draw or win against England at home.
I do get the comments that claim Irish guy is delusional, but this time i think there is real reason to be optimistic.
That said; replace szmodics with Franco Umeh before he chooses Nigeria. Absolute class and a name for the future that I believe would be amazing for this Ireland team
you are seriously saying some serious facts in this
Shock of Shocks
The Irish Guy is revealed to be the next Ireland Manager
Jack Taylor is a quality player for town but not a starter mate
Please do not be worried as Sheamus boss and Finn Balor are professional Irish wrestlers,good friend Irish guy!!!🏋♂️
That team would be mid table championship at best
Graham potter for the ireland job?
At least he megged Figo
Irish Guy for the Ireland job!
No Roy Keane?
Hilarious that you haven’t considered Robbie Keane as an option to become your manager, the man with a 76% Win rate in Israel after 45 games, the manager who just thrashed Olympiacos in the Conference League. Shows how much you know about football outside the prem
Even the first Irish national team's squad will be imperious when they meet our national team's current squad (seriously, Bobi Mihaylov ruined the Bulgarian football in the day he got the BFU's president spot).
What happened to Obafemi 😢
Surprised you're not holding out for your bezzie mate Jose Mourinho for Ireland manager...
At least you have some hope for the future.
I'm Bulgarian and we have the worst ran federation in Europe, maybe the whole world, no current stars, no good up and coming youngsters, no teams that can qualify for even the Europa league, no facilities and stadiums and no hope for the future.
So from my point of view every nation, including Ireland is way better of than us.
The Irish guy is Ireland and Newcastle’s version of AFTV
That team doesn’t get relegated, but finish 17th in the prem
It definitely gets relegated, on paper the squad is worse than Luton
And he scored against newcastle why micheal dont say that about szmodics too
Zeffi lives down the road from me
This was expected
How they always get out groups when reach world cup beyhond me so lucky never had a golden generation
No Grealish and Rice?
i had a irish man explain that, the irish and football is like the italians and pineapple pizza, most think it is offensive to like but some still do... is it really that bad? i can't imagine it.
MacNutty? Oh I really hope he will make it to your national team, commentators will love it.
lol bro got a goofy second name at 4:57
13:01 oof
Mourinho would be the perfect choice!
