Ireland fans were not happy with the UEFA Nations League draw
The Republic of Ireland have been drawn against Denmark and Wales in Group B4 of the brand-new UEFA Nations League, writes Stephen Barry.
Except, the all shiny and new competition is already feeling pretty familiar to Ireland fans.
As Martin O’Neill said: "It’s déjà vu for us."
Fans, still scarred by the 5-1 loss to the Danes, weren’t too keen on it all...

Although some Irish fans felt it was teed up for revenge...
First thought, “oh not again”. But YES!! Good games to test the team and keep them on their toes.

Wales fans seemed less enthused by the prospect of getting vengeance on Ireland...
It really isn’t.

League of Friendly’s it should be called ...

Perhaps this idea would spice it all up...
UEFA have said that Ireland v Wales can be decided by a straight fight between Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane. #NationsLeague

If it all means fewer friendlies against Oman, we’ll take it!
