Offside alright but that was absolutely crap defending. Good finish.

J. Marston

We're a bag of nerves when passing it around the back.

Looked off fr the initial pass. Only thing I can thnk of is Ward played it off an Irish player for the ball through cause he was certainly yards off then.

Lol, it wouldn't have made a scrap of difference.

You can't be offside if a player from the opposite team passes the ball to you which is exactly what Ward did!!!

Horrible to watch this, chasing the ball all the time, hoofing it clear and inviting the pressure on all again.

dsmythy

This is where Trap earns his bucks.

Lots of people have said that Stephen Ward would cost us dearly. Looks like they have been proven correct.

Who'd it come off? Camera angles they were using were absolutely cat, couldn't see if Ward kicked it off his own leg or if it came off the Croatian beside him or another Irish lad.

tdv123

Offside or not it looks like a Championship team vs a Premiership team.

Not suprised doh but dissapointing nonthless.

Panrich

We're looking out of our depth. Spirit and good organisation will only take you so far. Spain and Italy next. :eek:

JaMarcus Hustle

Made bits of us there

bizmark

For christ sake try and pass the ball >_<

Paparazzo

We played best when we were a goal down earlier.

kitakyushu

For a supposedly defensive side we have pretty much been the keystone cops of defending in that half.
