ctrl-alt-delete

Our last two set pieces have been shocking.

Festy

Whelan is piss when it comes to set pieces

Kerrydude1981

Jesus Ronnie give the man a break,Walters isn't Messi,if he left the ball drop to his feet,the Swede's were on to him like flies to a cow sh1t

stealinhorses

Whelan should never be allowed to play football again.

Hopefully McGrath isn't driven to drink.

the enemy? really?

Half Time 1-1. A bit disappointing tbh. We kinda knocked off.

Mr.Nice Guy

It's been a good half. Pity about the equaliser, but they probably deserved that since Larsson had missed a sitter.

This looks like it's going to be a nail-biter.

ctrl-alt-delete

A decent half, certainly enough to show we can win this.

Unfortunetly we have let Sweden back in it and given them far too much of the ball.

Anyone else think Coleman has been fairly quiet and unadventurous?

I think its humour.

Thought oshea was at fault for the goal, as he should have won that header he fannied out of, which that led Sweden to get that free and possession for the goal.

It was Long for me and whatever happened to him is beyond me

Belgium just took the lead. 1-0.

If you don't keep possession, if you drop your tempo and you allow that kind of space in front of the back four it's almost inevitable that any team worth their salt will capitalise and that's exactly what Sweden did.

PhlegmyMoses

Keeper absolutely fouled him there. Ref would have bottled it, though.

Walters adds very little to Ireland. His workrate/strength is offset by his total lack of an end-product. Surely it's worth sacrificing him for Hoolahan who could come inside for possession and actually play Coleman in at some point, who is totally under-used.

I think he's there to take the pens.

Dunphy does hit best to "praise the lads", keane, long, mcclean are all top lads apparently

Both sides are very even, more graft than actual quality. Ibrahimovic provides a guile in the final third that we simply don't possess.

Nobody dropping between the lines at all, Keane and Shane Long has to be one of the most one dimensional partnerships going.

Long has to be one of the most overrated forwards. I struggle to see what he is actually good at apart from chasing defenders and being a nuisance. Still makes him better than any of our other options though.

Panthro

Ireland are going to rattle it this half.
The Swedes are there for the taking.
KAMON OIRLAND!

Sweden looked very good after they scored.

WTF ref

.jacksparrow.

Were all over the place.

bizmark

why dont we play it out of defence instead of these never ending long balls that 90% of the time dont seem to work?

SirDelboy18

The amount of long balls is depressing. At least Shane Long is awkward for the Swedes to deal with.

klose

This is better

swoody

c'mon lads give us another jason mcateer moment

Mars Bar

Straight at the wall...

FS

swoody

has to be red when the ref goes back! :rolleyes:

tayto lover

Kerrydude1981

Well in McClean

aindriu80

Mars Bar

McClean is not afraid to put a tackle in!

klose

Boy mclean

Nolars

Kerrydude1981

Ah lads

Slow motion stuff

Duff

McLean crunching tackles tonight.

.jacksparrow.

I can't see us coming back into this
