Great play there!

andyman · 26-03-2013 9:16pm

Shane Messi or Lionel Long?

SantryRed · 26-03-2013 9:16pm

Shane Long is on fire tonight.

Jimmy Iovine · 26-03-2013 9:17pm

Sick flick from Long there.

AdamD · 26-03-2013 9:17pm

Mclean's more predictable than Arjen Robben.

Stevecw · 26-03-2013 9:18pm

Need Hoolahan on for Sammon at ht. Can def win this game

Imhof Tank · 26-03-2013 9:18pm

This lot are not conforming to type unfortunately and are playing like the home team.

We have been thrown a lifeline - dont waste it now (with an error from O'Shea which is what I fear most).

He has no where to go though. No midfielder is looking for him, no surprise it's Whelan's side though.

First successful long ball is won by Long, LOL.

Couldn't be more different tbf

More good pressure from Ireland! Great delivery by Long and then McLean. It's so measured, and not just hoofed in hail mary style.

tayto lover · 26-03-2013 9:19pm

We're playing better now.
Put them under pressure lads.

LowOdour · 26-03-2013 9:20pm

Whelan has the touch of a.....

Some decent play there, some great work from McClean.

andyman · 26-03-2013 9:20pm

I think McClean's been good these last few minutes. Chasing everything and has been putting in a few good crosses.

Question, has anybody else just remembered Robbie Keane isn't playing?

Get ball
cut inside.

Seems pretty similar to me. Obviously one is far better at it than the other.

murpho999 · 26-03-2013 9:20pm

Decent play now.

Wish posters here would realise that games ebb and flow and teams don't dominate all the time.

He never said they were similar players, he said they were both very predictable.

Lando Griffin · 26-03-2013 9:21pm

McClean putting some great ball into the box; would like to see Sammon getting on the end of them more than Long when delivered from out the field.

Anyone · 26-03-2013 9:21pm

Enjoying the odd Fuchs mentioned in the commentry. Bring back Stefan Kuntz and we could have a right good game.

We never dominate a game.

McCarthy has a great influence on Whelan too - his style encourages Glenn to play more football.

andyman · 26-03-2013 9:22pm

Whelan's 50/50 just there was the exact same as McCarthy's. Whelan, quite rightly, isn't called as a foul yet McCarthy's was because the other lad hurt his leg.
