Keane goes off with two goals. So close to the hat-trick.

yabadabado

Thank ****.long on for Keane.

gandalf

Long on 79 minutes late!!! He should have started instead of Keane!

murpho999

Ok, Long is on.

He'd better score at least 3 with the build up he's had here!

Laois_Man

Is that possibly the last time we'll see Robbie Keane?

Higher

Germany are beating Sweden 3-0

Sweden have vastly superior players to us. Just to put things in perspective.

Francie Barrett

Quality defending from Seamus Coleman!

Hank Scorpio

Wards place must be gone now, Wilson has been solid

How pathetic. You'd sacrifice going to Rio to get rid of a manager who is probably not even responsible for this mess. In the recent games who has Trap lost to? Germany, Spain, Italy. Two Euros finalists and a euros semi finalist. The only result that could be deemed as poor is the Croatia result and even then it was only 3-1 and Croatia are a very handy team.

People need to accept that the Irish team is crap. The players just aren't good.

Anyway if Trap was going to go he'd be gone regardless of this game ditto for if he was going to stay.

murpho999 wrote: »

That really is a shameful attitude.

Always want Ireland to do well, no matter what.

Losing never offers advantages.

We're not going to Rio, lets get that cleared up. This team is f**king useless and will not finish second with Trap managing. Sweden might be losing to Germany too, but that is because Germany are a terrific team. Sweden are still a good team and are much better than us.

Don't really care if people this it's bad form hoping for Ireland to lose, Trap makes Ireland almost unwatchable and is being paid ridiculous money a country like us should not be paying a manager. A loss to the Faroes and I think he would have walked away.

I still feel better about playing them than I did this morning.



On another note, and I say this honestly, Kazakhstan Vs Faroes would be an interesting game.

Isn't that the point? The team is ****ing useless and yet Trap got us to the Euros when much better teams missed out.

And who has he lost to recently? 2 European finalists, and a Germany that is currently beating Sweden 3-0?

Some faux fan telling us we can't finish second

OR

Trap's track record of finishing twice in successive campaigns.


Yeah, cheers for the input though.

~Rebel~

Great chance there if Walters had a left foot.

kincsem

Walters Man Of The Match. Make that two matches.

Francie Barrett

Walters has been MOTM yet again. Superb performance.

Yes, because we've got quality finishers lining up to take his place. FFS :rolleyes:

The Germans beat these 3-0. At home. You need to watch more football

If the second best team in the world can only beat a team of part timers 3 - 0 .......... then something is badly skewed.

By your reckoning then ........ if this score remains the same ........ The Faroes are a better team than Ireland. Just think - they beat Ireland by 5 goals away ........ and The Faroes by only 3 at home.

No, we will see him in an unnamed pub 10 minutes before kick off :pac:

I remember hearing that a lot when Ward took Kilbane's place.

It's not bad form its just nonsense.

noodler

Walters MOTM for me as well.


Long has been brutal since coming on.......


EDIT: I love tempting faith!

EDIT 2: Commentator confused me.

dorkacle

McGeady Unlucky!

Washington Irving

Great turn and shot from McGeady

Francie Barrett

McGeady nearly for 4!

Higher

To be honest the lads on off the ball have warped people.

People said they'd be delighted if we get to the Euros. We do, and then we lose in a group containing two of the finalists and Croatia and suddenly everyone wants Traps head??

A QUALITY swedish side is getting their asses handed to them by the same German side.

We have one player who plays in the CL. Once again, a bit of perspective lads. We were by far the worst team in the Euros.

The_Kew_Tour

Walters showing Mcgeady how to cross

Kerrydude1981

Get in,lovely job

kincsem

Brilliant McGeady.
Another pleasing goal.

Mr.Nice Guy

Get in. Delighted for Trap! :cool:

Kirby

Trademark 90 degree McGeady turn there. He really does have terrific ball skills.

Goal for Long or O' Dea?

tayto lover

Good header from O'Dea for No. 4. Easy.

Paul Tergat

4-1 win it seems

3 points in the bag. Before the first 3 matches you say 6 points is expected. Thats been achieved

Losing a game to get rid of Trap is foolish.

It's damaging in the longterm.

All games affect future seedings in draws and decrease your chance to qualify for future tournaments.

It's the sort of long term thinking that knee-jerkers normally lack.

edgecutter

I know I shouldn't say it but I'm ragin o'dea scored. It will mean we will see more of him. Shiver

kitakyushu

and Keane completes the hat-trick. Well done Robbie.

Anyone

4-1. And agree with the Walters comments, but I've been impressed with him everytime he has played for us.

Francie Barrett

I think we're safe now

Amirani

George Hamilton is horrendous. O'Dea gets the final touch? He was the only one near it at all.

Jayob10

O'Dea is still sh*te :cool:

recyclebin

Sweden don't seem to be as good as people think they are.

We thought Slovakia and Bulgaria were going to be tough as well but we got second in both of those qualifying groups.

With a new manager that the players have confidence in we can get second in this group too. It's very early in the qualification and if trap goes this week then a new manager has two friendlies and a few months to get ready for the Sweden and Austria games.
