Anything that comes out of Robbie Savage's gob. - sh it cliches. Check. - poor grammar. Check. - constant self references. Check - dubious knowledge of the rules of the game. Check - wild usage of hyperbole. Check. - being an annoying pr ick. Check.

They'll use Tallaght if Aviva unavailable. As you correctly said that ground has already been used in EL by Rovers. Just as well their own place isn't sanctioned because it's an absolute toilet even by League of Ireland standards..

Disappointing obviously, but we competed throughout and if we had a finish we would've got something. Need one more attacking option.

I know...was being a tad negative. I would be rightly p*ssed off if leaves though, hope all the speculation is nonsense

Seems like he's no different to any of the deserters. Shame, for some reason I thought he was better than that.

Brilliant☺

If this happens I'm gonna need therapy to get over it..

This. Our starting line up will be very different in a few weeks time, but the lack of chances made and the general lack of fluidity in the final third is a worry.

Chuffed. Dowcha Longy boy!

Thought it was ok-ish initially, but in all honesty I was delusional. It's just f*ckin horrendous innit. Worst home shirt ever

Great post, exactly my sentiments about José!

Spot on. First League of Ireland team to reach any group stages, that was under current NI boss Michael O'Neill. Anyway, looking forward to seeing Cork City progressing tonight....much as I want them to reach the groups, I couldn't cope with a potential Saints/City fixture. Divided loyalties at all that....

Very proud watching Jose excel at this level, a lot has happened since that wonderful last gasp looping header (& celebration) at the withdean five years back. Would be soooo sweet if the two lads arrive back with winners medals. Forca Portugal indeed ?

Would be very happy with this. The red upper so much better than the white version. Away not too shabby at all either.

Like him a lot. Lot of potential there. I say sign him up, could even be future skipper material...

That home shirt is f ucking horrendous. Please no

Reckon this guy will be the mustard.

Tommy Forecast?

Joe Hart +Rooney + all the other prima donnas = comedy gold

While it would be nice to appoint a big name, and all the high profile coverage associated, i believe that the board need to get in who they feel is the best fit. As has been espoused on here many times recently, maybe koeman was not helping the development of our academy kids (harry reed a prime example). On that basis, I'm ok with us going for someone slightly leftfield if it fits in with our long term goals. Without sounding pompous, long term planning is what sets us apart from many of our PL rivals. We have enjoyed a marvellous six or seven years, certainly the most exciting since i started following Saints in the early 80s, so on my book I'm backing the board.

He was excellent yesterday. Typical SD performance. Would love to see NI get a result against Germany...

Spot on mate, but look at who awarded the tournament...Blatter . Him + Putin= 2 sides same coin. Russia should be f*cked out after the carry-on of their thug support. C*****s.

I know, was speaking heart over head, just don't want those f*ckers getting any more of our personnel. And i really, REALLY despise Tottenham!

Wouldn't do business with Tottenham. Leave him rot in the u21s for the year.
