McGeadys play has been intelligent for the most part

Commentator: "Kilbane just keeps on going for Ireland". I wish he wouldn't.

Speaking of that , who is his replacement in the squad cause the lad is well past it and looks a liability

He seems to be gaining a footballing brain in Moscow

Worst Robbie Keane performance I can recall.

Lord Trollington

Keane hasnt left the weight of it in the second half...

memory loss?

Gibson isnt looking great

dreamers75

Struggling to see how Gibson for Green has made us the all conquering passing side we all want to be, if anything it has made us weaker.

He's been like this for a while.

Gibson hasn't done well so far. This match is bad quality from both sides.

Kristopherus

Slovakia very poor to be honest.

Lord Trollington

The Slovaks are as a poor a home team Ireland has played in recent History

Delusions of grandeur we can't be a passing side we aren't good enough

Mr.Nice Guy

This is like when Gibson and Whelan played against Cyprus in the last campaign and it was like we had a black hole in the central midfield because they were so anonymous.

The team were better when Green was on.

They have individuals to hurt us though, Hamsik scares me when he is around our box

LowOdour

ha ha, kilbane checked to see he wasnt contradicting his 'honest pro' tag

JamBur

hack, hack,hack.............no yellows

TheJesusWarrant

God Kilbane is woeful

Lord Trollington

Say what the **** u want about McGeady in previous games but he looks like the only one who wants it out there at the moment

Still has yet to make a cross.

applehunter

How many times has JOS lost possession from a throw in now?

Panthro

HamsandwichSik isn't half bad, on comes former Chelsea player Stoch, gutted when we sold him.

Hard as i find it, I have to agree with you !

baldbear

Jesus we miss Duff! We are really lacking ideas and have no options. Our defence arre getting closed down quickly.

the slovaks know they can beat us now. We are foooked i think.

allanb49

good save shay

everdead.ie

Wouldn't mind seeing Gibson start taking shots.

@JamBur

Didn't three of their players get booked already?

- edit three

We've gone from being half decent in the first half to pretty terrible in the second.

How d **** can u make a cross when your constantly recieving the ball deep, or when your defenders continue to hoof the ball long. He hasnt recieved one good ball out wide to run at full back.

applehunter

what a terrible 2nd half this has been.

Bring Keogh on for Gibson

He is the equivalent of Kilbane when it comes to a pass. Just hoof it up for a 50/50.

Hmm, seems while my internet is messing up, I haven't been missing much!

yeah for a nothing foul on the saint, and the keepers rush of blood. Theres been consistent fouling on long and mcgeady that has been overlooked

markesmith

Bloody Slovaks using the "Put 'em under pressure" routine against us

Hoisted on our own petard

Other winger managed to get a few crosses in.

Lord Trollington

We are going to concede if we continue like this

applehunter

Fahey did well but should be played in the middle.

This is the way Ireland ALWAYS play under Trap.

JerryHandbag

Creating nothing now....gone from bossing this game after 30 mins to hanging on for dear life now for a point.

This game is really starting to bore the arse off me.

Fahey? from dead balls, one in the first half to tee up Keane, hardly a good return.

McGeady isplaying on the same wing as Kilbane after all

JamBur

Italy - Serbia game abandoned, crowd trouble

Mr.Nice Guy

The bench says it all about Trap's mindset for the game:

Subs: Murphy, Keogh, McShane, Wilson, Gibson, Foley, Cunningham

Very little creative options there. Coleman would have been a decent swap for Fahey with the Slovak defenders tiring.

NickDrake

where is Robbie Captain Keane. The pride of Tallaght who can do no wrong?

1 . His bad touch led to the corner and the goal

2. Missed an absolute sitter in front of goal after a great pass by Long

3.Terrible attempt at a peno

Another awful performance by the pride of Tallaght

Aidric

Is Robbie Keane still on the pitch? Don't think he has touched the ball this second half.

Carcharodon

We could have the best management team in the world and it wouldn't make too much of a difference, only so much you can do with a bad bunch of players and that is the bottom line.
