Sweden are better on the ball than us. I'm curious who people want Hoolahan to come on for? One of the midfielders that are there to protect the defence?

keith16

Pilkingtons beard is awesome.

Amirani

This has been a very poor second half performance.

Panthro

His beard is chronic.

aramush

The head on Pilkington haha

Kerrydude1981

Cant understand how we can go from trying to play a bit in the first half to this sh1te we are watching now.

kupus

It is horrible to watch this,

The fact is we played some good stuff in the first half, we had something to build on. What were the players told at half time that makes them bring out all the bad stuff from the first half?

no no aah how you say no play football you ahh *hand gestures* hit ball LONG long no ahh ground ball

PhlegmyMoses

Pilkington looks like an extra on some Steam Punk b-movie.

aindriu80

JohnDee

Losing by 1 or losing by 2 is the same thing. He should be in for McCarthy

We're 2-1 down. Who would you prefer to come on? I realise you dont like Hoolahan at all, but surely someone to try and get their foot on the ball and at least try and create something has to be worth a go. Any of the centre mids could come off.

Just An Opinion

Just a case of normality resumes I'm afraid, atrocious!

edgecutter

I can't understand the subs whatsoever. Green or Sammon will be the next sub by this rate.

Kerrydude1981

Who is next to come on?

Green or Sammon

Festy

There's the next Ireland manager

Amirani

No proper Ireland fan would be excited by this. We're losing, you should be sad.

Kilkenny14

Chris Hughton doesn't look impressed - I wish he was the Irish manager

Guy:Incognito

Was going to say chris hughton has an awfull girley cover on his phone there for a sec. Not to mention filming a streaker. :-)

Jason Todd

I don't think streakers are shown on TV anymore, no matter what league / international game is being played.

I'd prefer us to get an equaliser and not allow a superior footballing side to dominate us. They scored their second because our defensive midfielder didn't do his job properly, and yet you want a defensive midfielder taken off so we'll only have one on.

aindriu80

If we lose this game the FAI have to get a manager who can improve us and play the best possible team. A coach first and manager second. The players out there look like they need coaching.

Probably a streaker. They never show them. Don't want to encourage it by showing it on TV, cos then every tool would be at it and it would quickly become tiresome.

Agueroooo

The last truly competitive 10mins of Robbie Keanes amazing Irish International career.

pity

legend!

daRobot

Show the streaker ffs

secman

Sammon on for Forde

Best fans in the world obv, look at the banter!!!

Festy

Pilkington looks like Conor McGregor

bennyineire

Lets try put a positive spin on this, if by some miracle we would have gone to Brazil we would still have Trap as manager and we would have been making up the numbers, if the score stays the same at least we can realistically start talking about the next Ireland manger and a new regime of Irish football

It made me angry, which is why I haven't watched Ireland since the Germany hammering. If I was watching and saw Cox come on ahead of a player like Hoolahan I would be pi**ed. Not worth it. When there is a massive overhaul and trap is gone I'll watch again.

JohnDee

If we lose the only positive I'll take is that we'll only have two more games under Trappitoni regime to endure

passremarkable

we are brutal in midfield...really really poor

swoody

well timed tackle there

That ship sailed some time in the 80s

Jason Todd

Pilkington has an amazing beard, but ridiculous moustache. About the only thing I'll remember of his debut.

swoody

i wish we had Bale.....

SirDelboy18

I'm surprised that Trap thought Pilkington didn't know the system. Seems relatively simple actually, defender long to striker, everybody else hope you get some scraps and defend when you inevitably don't.
