Tweets of the Week: Anthem drama, Ireland 2-0 Ireland, Bloodclat McClaren

It’s time for the best tweets of the past week from Football Twitter, featuring the latest England non-controversy, Irishmen scoring against Ireland, Steve McClaren’s first week in Jamaica, and an incredibly pleasing goal on the eye. 

The Three Lions’ interim boss, Lee Carsley, took charge of his first match this weekend. I’m sure all of the pre-game focus was on the football. Oh…

Little do the tabloids know that there’s a perfectly good reason Carsley doesn’t sing the national anthem. 

The job is a poisoned chalice. 

A fair point…
