TWO GOALS FROM Ireland striker David McGoldrick helped Sheffield United on their way to victory over Hull City yesterday.
The Blades, who sit in the second automatic promotion spot and three points clear of Leeds United, claimed a 3-0 win thanks to McGoldrick’s brace and a second goal in as many matches for his international team-mate Enda Stevens.
‘Didzy’ is having a superb campaign under Chris Wilder and this 25-yard strike made it 15 Championship goals this season.
It was also the former Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town man’s 100th league goal of his career.
The strike is well worth a couple of watches and Mick McCarthy will be hoping the 31-year-old can stay fit and continue his fine form when the Boys in Green face Denmark and Gibraltar in June.
15th of the season 🔥

It’ll be interesting to see which anthem is played before the match in Belfast….and how annoyed people get whichever one is used!
@Kevin Brett: Surely just do Ireland’s Call
@Kevin Brett: oh cripes I didn’t think of that. I still remember clenching my teeth and fists listening to the UK anthem in Croke Park.
@Kevin Brett: pre 2007 world cup we played Italy in ravenhill , paisley jr having a hissy fit that only irelands call was going to be played
@Kevin Brett: It’ll be Ireland’s Call with nothing else.
@Anna Carr: Protocol (should I use that word) says ‘God Save The Queen’ as the anthem of the host country followed by ‘Ireland’s Call’ as the anthem of the host union.
@Anna Carr: Why were you so upset? Surely we, as a nation, have moved on? And the respect that ‘God Save The Queen’ was given that day was fabulous.
@Anna Carr: No such thing as a UK anthem.
@Eoin Roche: I thought that was all there was? There aren’t official anthems for the constituent territories but for the Union there is.
@sean o’dhubhghaill: that is the protocol yes as explained as why Amhrán na bhFiann is played in Dublin in advance of Irelands call. Will be interesting alright
Would ya look at the legs and muscles on Parsons! No wonder she’s one of the fastest players on the field, some engines built in to those legs! Looking forward to seeing her tear it up in the 6N’s.
I wonder how Aviva will react to this. Didn’t their sponsorship of the stadium come with a proviso that all capped Irish games had to be in Lansdowne Road? I just recall being livid that the Irish first team game at Thomond Park was uncapped for sponsorship reasons and that it robbed Nevin Spence of his senior cap.
@SomeGuy: did you read the headline ? It’s the womens game so I doubt Aviva will care !
