I'm just going to go through the supplements and the back pages, folks, to give you a flavour of what we're going to be going through. So, 14 Giants, Sanchez there helps condemn Chelsea to another defeat and Liverpool's title defence goes from bad to worse. That's a Sunday time sport. Worst run of games for Chelsea since 1993, losing four. And Lowell, Boston Lowell not fit to play for Ireland, says Stoke boss Mark Robbins. He's in the squad for the game against Czechia on Thursday. We've got the Sunday Independent. Treaty escape going. Nearly pull off. Come back in Limerick. That was a great match on TGK last night. United defend Fury at contentious calls. Club to make a complaint after Diallo penalty decision.
It's a pretty weak story to be honest for a front page of a supplement.
How are Ireland preparing for the upcoming match against Czechia?
Who cares? In my view. So we have whatever it takes, Hamer meets Kenny to plot playoff path. There's a nice relationship, obviously, between the pair of them. But interesting comments on penalties. United boost as Chelsea and Liverpool flop and Limerick to meet Rebels in the final. That's in the hurling. Matt Cooper writing in the back of the Sunday Business Post today. Sometimes they don't do sports, but they do sometimes take a position. So RFU must open wallet to allow Farrell lead Irish to world glory. This is Matt in the back page of the Sunday Business Post. Just interested to get your views, folks. I suppose we'll start off with the big match on Thursday, Ireland-Czechia. There's lots of writing, Philip.
You have Mark Gallagher in your own paper on the history of the Irish and the Czech Republic as it has been known.
What insights did Stephen Kenny share about penalty preparations?
Lovely piece on Troy Parrish from Michael Foley in the Sunday Times. Antonin Panenka, the man who scored the famous penalty in the 1976 European Championship final to beat West Germany, profiled and interviewed by Aidan Fitzmaurice in the Sunday Independent. Lots to get through. I suppose what I'm interested in is, first of all, is the Hamer comments. This is when he spoke to Stephen Kenny. So, Kenny called on, as Halgrimson ponders, Penos. He has spoken about the penalties, and that is quite an interesting thing. I might have this back in my face, but if we end up taking penalties, I'm not sure if we're going to do it. We are at least going to talk about it and see if the players feel about taking one, etc.
And if a player is not ready to do it, absolutely no shame in that. We had some talks before. It was good to have his experience. This is on Stephen Kenny. There are two, one or two things you learn from talking to him. It was nice of him.
What is the significance of Troy Parrott in the upcoming matches?
But I'm not so sure that training penalties will be such an asset, especially when you look at the time we have. Other things are more important. Reminds me of Mick McCarthy who spoke after the defeat to Spain at the 2002 World Cup. Said that practicing penalties was garbage. Should we not be trying to do everything?
I would have thought so. I love the fact that he's a lack of ego, that he'll actually sit down and have the chat with Steve and Kenny. I think beforehand, so many different relationships between managers and former managers, there was a level of sniping and giving out. So he seems to have no ego. And when you get to that point, though, I can't really get over the fact that you wouldn't practice that. I know, even doing a little bit with Luke in Sarsfields, the hurling last year and and they like for club championship the lads would practice penalties because it goes to that so and all it takes is five ten minutes at the end of a session and you quickly figure out who's up for it who likes it who's actually thought about it who are the ball strikers who's the mental side of it so i would have thought just box that off even in the limited time you have so i just don't that whole idea of penalties is a lottery i
so many things Jay but to not practice I think every club and county team in the country knowing that most matches go to winner on the day will actually be practicing and again with the Ireland team that idea that they don't have a sports psychologist and that he was talking about visualisation again most amateur club and county teams will have a sports psychologist I'd say there isn't a county team that doesn't have a sports performance whether it's
