YOU SUSPECT TANGUY Pepiot will never want to see this again.
Sadly for him, the internet will ensure he can never forget his premature celebration.

During the men’s steeplechase event at this weekend’s Pepsi Team Invitational, the Oregon athlete thought he had the race sewn up and, coasting the last 50 metres, started waving to the crowd getting them to cheer him home.
Sadly for Pepiot, Meron Simon of Washington was busy still racing and sprinted home to take the victory.
Ouch.

Has to start now
Instead of who exactly Conor?
Don’t just red thumb me, please offer your suggestion, generally we have the likes of Hendrick, Whelan, McCarthy, Walters, Hoolihan as midfielders or creative players, which one do you drop for arter?
Drop Mccarthy, offers nothing really. Arthur always shows for possession and make attacking runs.
Maybe wouldn’t entirely disagree with you, but McCarthy performed very well against Germany and Bosnia in recent crucial games, and he’s playing regularly for a top half premiership club, can’t see too many agreeing with you
McCarthys only decent games this campaign were against Germany and Bosnia. He was poor against Gibraltar bar 1 pass, very poor against Georgia both times and he was only ok against Scotland. When he has a good game he’s brilliant, but that’s very rare in an Ireland shirt unfortunately.
Yes I agree, I’ve been very frustrated with McCarthy at times but I think when we pack midfield as we’ve been doing recently it allows hoolihan to do the demanding of the ball and Whelan to get the simple 5 yard passing going while McCarthy can then break up play using his athleticism and provide a box to box engine
I’d put him in ahead of Quinn and Meyler.
Offers something different.
Hendrick.
The problem is Hendrick has actually played for us in competitive games and has done well including a cracking build up and assists to a crucial goal
Put mcarthy in the deepest holding role instead of whelan, he us much more effective and mobile at it… its his best position, he’s not a creative player , never has been… don’t know why people expect him to be
