We played horrendously badly in Kazakhstan. And it was nothing to do with the opposition being good.

Nothing really?

He has consistently refused to pick the best team available.

That's more than enough reason to sack him at this stage.

It's not really when the results differ.

Oat23 · 12-10-2012 6:55pm

Austria drew 0-0 is Kazakhstan there.

Strawberry Fields · 12-10-2012 6:56pm

Austria must have played horrendously badly too, eh?

SantryRed · 12-10-2012 6:58pm

Why are we even looking at Austria? They aren't a threat

More than likely, yeah.

You think the Austrians will be happy with that result?

Ireland's display against Kazakhstan was pitiful, how anyone can even try defend it is baffling.

No, of course they won't be happy. They didn't win. We did. I am not happy with the performance, but at least we got the points.

Trampas · 12-10-2012 7:03pm

Did Bill nearly says pi$$ side?

Jax Teller · 12-10-2012 7:04pm

Don't see how Muller keeps Gotze or Kroos out of that team .

niallo27 · 12-10-2012 7:04pm

Germany -1 at 11/10 seems like a great bet, even the 3/1 on -2 looks value, this German side is too efficient not to beat us well tonight.

We barely beat the Kazaks. Everybody is a threat.

Mr.Nice Guy · 12-10-2012 7:14pm

They're hyping up Coleman in the RTE studio but I think the jury is still out on his defensive capabilities. Realistically, most of his work this evening will be in defence.

Rekop dog · 12-10-2012 7:16pm

You know you're wrong when Dunphy is siding with your side of the argument!

Zico · 12-10-2012 7:17pm

Austria drew with Kazakhstan tonight.

Among those unhappy with the performance, including me, when Ireland played there, Richie Sadlier said he should be sacked on RTE.

Whatever happens tonight I hope it's viewed in context.

Prick! · 12-10-2012 7:17pm

What's the point of showing Clark scoring a goal as a reason for his inclusion in the team?

He tends to be a bit rash with his tackles / hands in and around the box.

Well Prick!, I imagine it's the same RTE editorial logic as showing Hoolahan making raking passes to argue the case that he should be put into a team that doesn't pass the ball.

Soby · 12-10-2012 7:23pm

Podolski's missus isn't bad

Mr.Crinklewood · 12-10-2012 7:23pm

As long as the fans sing nicely, it will be deemed as a success. #eurovision

Yeah that's true. Dunphy said Clark was scoring goals. That's what you want in a defender

It's getting boring now every time Ireland play the "these guys are playing for good teams every week bill" thing.

......diddy. :pac:

The only thing you need to do to be a key player for Ireland is to not play for us.

Mr.Crinklewood · 12-10-2012 7:24pm

Brady needs to get on Google.

Diabhal Beag · 12-10-2012 7:26pm

If Badstuber, Ozil, Schweiny, Reus and Klose get sent off I think we might have a good shout.

Rekop dog · 12-10-2012 7:27pm

Per has been very good this season, clueless isn't the word for the panel!

Why cause the game will be abandoned then ? :P

RikkFlair · 12-10-2012 7:29pm

Dunphy is in foul humour already. Major rant coming up later methinks.

*gets popcorn*

Just more of their scene-setting waffle. They needed someone to bash that they actually had some footage of and he's the only prem player in the team tonight.
