Fans call for Portsmouth's Ronan Curtis to be handed Republic of Ireland start

And Eire supporters have taken to social media calling for the Pompey forward to start against Denmark tonight.

Curtis made his Republic of Ireland senior bow on Thursday, coming on at a half-time in his country's 0-0 friendly draw with Northern Ireland.

The Blues forward delivered an eye-catching performance, doing his hopes of being handed a start by Martin O'Neill at Ceres Park no harm.

Curtis has been in superb form since moving to Fratton Park from Derry City in the summer, netting six times and bagging seven assists.

With O'Neill's side struggling for goals '“ having failed to score in their past three games '“ some Ireland supporters feel the south London-born ace deserves another chance. 

Here's how some of them have been reacting on Twitter...
