    I said they did well. But again the Reid issue is an embarrassment. He is playing at the top of his game week in week out in the Premiership. He was not even on the bench tonight. You tell me if that is respect!

    I'm proud to be Irish tonight and not French (cheating).

    Irish team said to be distraught in the dressing room. Hope they know how proud the country is of their efforts.

    Chin up, lads.

    After tonight's performance I remembered this

    When can their glory fade?
    O the wild charge they made!
    All the world wondered.
    Honor the charge they made,
    Honor the Light Brigade,
    Noble six hundred.

    According to Hurley on RTE,

    The Irish team and distraught and are refusing to be interviewed, If you think the lad's on here are mental after the game, can you imagine the dressing room in France!

    After this relentless, continuous, heroic-against-all odds-performance?

    Limited ability but unquestionable committment.

    How can anyone give them a hard time or question them?

    Yes, we had limited ability, but Feck me sideways, did they not do exactly what we've been crying out for years???

    That is....

    Put up a resistance, show a bit of strength, and basically give their all for 90 minutes and more?

    I sleep well tonight, without succuming to that cliched bulll**** that we put in a good show just to stave off the neighbours.

    I'm proud.

    For the love of anything that you believe in whether it be Jesus, Allah or Avonmore Dairies, please just be glad that we did that, at least.

    Would you rather be an England supporter?

    It's very easy to say all this now and I bet you weren't predicting this result before the game.

    Bill just said the lads are distraught in the dressing room and there may not be an interview. Understandable tbh.

    Would love to let them know how proud we are.

    He (A Reid) needs to learn about respect!

    Simply gutted, never thought we had a performance like that in us. To go out like that is simply unbelievable. The best team doesn't always win, that's sport. That is why we love it, hate it, love it, hate it...... Well done the boys, best performance in over 4 years!

    Everyone except paul mcshane. I was screaming at the telly the minute he let that ball bounce.

    He came off the bench to completely unravel all the hard work done.

    Im not blaming Henry.....hes going to Africa, as if he gives a ****, I'm looking at McShane, consistently making errors that cost us, im actuallly infuriated at him.

    I fealt the exact same seing him come off the bench. i would rathe see anyone else playing right back hunt, best,Kelly even McGeady.

    The guy gives it his all but he is ultimately a loose cannon ready to make a mistake at any moment.

    Possibly the best performnace in 20 odd years. The should all be proud and hold their heads high. Disgraceful decision (let side to start let alone the hand balls).

    However they had the chances and should have taken then in 90mins so cant have too many complaints

    If at the start of this campaign we were told we were this close to getting their many of the people posting here (check they did) would have laughed.

    Fair play to the team and coaching squad.

    As A Reid said himself recently he is not a politician. Doesn't need to apologize for something he feels he did not do. His football does the talking. But we will resume this discussion for another day. Hard luck to the lads tonight.

    Finest performance I've seen from Ireland ever.

    I'm finding it hard to stomach at the moment.

    so come here, who won the match lads?....

    only joking, jaysus, absolutely fantastic game played out there, heartbreaking we didnt go through, every single player deserves full credit for that performance..still we took the game to france every step of the way. whatever diarra's words that were said last time round have been well and truely eaten after that game.

    so many positives to take from the game, focus on those.

    Lads, tbh the over-reacting to Henry is ridiculous, dont blame him, blame the officials for the oversight. How many times did Keane handball tonight, what 3 or 4 but the difference is the officials spotted it. To be calling Henry a thief is way OTT. He fouled, he knows it, is he sorry - probably but is he happy France qualified - damn right he is.

    I am so sick now as we were the better team and to go out on a fouled goal makes it even worse. Aargh

    OK, I know you are fairly pissed off with what just happened as am I.

    But WTF is the need for this sort of comment?
