Far too accurate.
Unfortunately, Ireland won’t be at the World Cup – thank you very much Christian Eriksen – but such is our close proximity to England and the fact that so much of their media makes its way over to these shores, it’s inevitable that we’re going to be bombarded with the daily deluge of stories about ‘The Three Lions’ at another major football tournament.

Truth be told, you can already see some of the front pages and given the pathetic witch-hunt that was recently waged at Raheem Sterling, we’re already mentally prepared for what’s in store.
You know what to expect to see in the headlines. Despair, misery, depression and a campaign to ‘target’ a specific player/official in order to turn them into a scapegoat.
Yeah, we’re all used to the drill by now but the very talented trip of Foil Arms and Hog have perfectly captured this whole scenario.
This being said, we’d still trade having a press like this if it meant Ireland would be playing in Russia. Christ, that home-leg against Denmark is still too raw.
Anyway, take a look at the skit below and we got a good laugh about the gag which featured Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.
