The guy with the bell in the crowd injecting a bit of life into the game.

If he's holding a bell, would that make him a bellend?

Wait until Brady at half time, either we haven't scored enough, or we've scored too much, or Keane's book is too long, he will just complain about everything during the break!

Hendrick has been shocking so far.... Too many misplaced balls against the worst international side in Europe!

We need a new set of everybody on the RTÉ soccer team. From Moloney all the way down to O'Donoghue. The only one I would keep would be Sadlier.

~Rebel~

ugh, we've allowed the tempo to drop so much - we should be using this as an opportunity to make quick passing movements, but instead we're just so laboured...

Billy86

Disappointed with the last 20 minutes. I said after the Georgia game that the type of football we played there was always going to be how we play with O'Neill (barring the odd walkover like this), but one thing his team's have always tended to do is to continue to push it forward in situations like this. Was not expecting us to sit back and take both feet off the gas Luke we have since the third.

Dempsey

Despite it being 3-0, there is a distinct lack of cutting edge to Ireland's play

Soups123

Gibson and Hendrks have been awful in the middle, non existent for most of the half and when they do have giving it away to a shockingly poor team

Benteke

Hendrick would struggle to get into the Gibraltar side

MagicIRL

I'd take off Hendrick and throw on a second striker. Let Hoolihan play CM if Gibraltar ever lush forward and let him roam free otherwise.

Kenjataimu

Hopefully Gibraltar will get tired as the second half progresses so we can knock another 3 or 4 in.

I just don't get why Kerr isn't commentating. Never liked him as a pundit but he was genuinely brilliant in the booth for the World Cup.

Christ we've been poor since the 3rd. I still expect at least 6 as I'd imagine they'll receive a bit of a bollocking at half time.

Adamocovic

Would love to see Brady brought on for the second half, the sort of player we need to up the tempo and create more chances

Immediately thought you mean Liam?

Gibraltar are pure cat. Easily the worst international team I have ever seen.

There is 5 or 6 more goals in the second half if we are bothered.

Doubt RTE would let him down to play

He's on RTE radio actually as co commentator

Cunninghams eyebrows would be another useful tool we can call upon to confuse the goalkeeper even more

Billy86

Am I the only one that whenever he is on half expects them to go back to the studio, and for there to be blood everywhere with everyone else clearly dead except Kenny. Sat there with a knife. With that half smiling, half frowning squinting expression of his plastered on his face, ready to do the show on his own as if nothing has happened.

Lapin

Dire game since the penalty.

The krauts are gonna slaughter us.

frisbeeface

McClean has some useful attributes but his first touch is awful.

Hotblack Desiato

Why is it nearly all white faces in the 'No to Racism' ad?

keeponhurling

We have already got a few defensive injuries and don't have much cover there.
I'm not sure if the subs made might be in defence.

Or maybe take off one or two defenders and replace with forwards.

Maybe take off O'Shea or Wilson

FourFourRED

It wasn't competition for places that caused Higginbotham to retire anyway.

3-0 is a dangerous lead

How about 4? :pac:

Kenjataimu

Looked offside :pac:

Adamocovic

Thats the start we needed, maybe Roy had a word or two :P

Mint Sauce

The Managers must have had words at half time.

Nib

Gibraltar manager at HT: "Right lads, let's keep it tight early in the second.... D'oh!"

Adamocovic

Take mclean off before he does something stupid and gets himself in bother

FourFourRED

That's offside every day of the week for me, except Saturday's.

MagicIRL

Imagine Coleman playing RB against Gibraltar :pac:

Harry Palmr

The officials are having a 'mare

keith16

Gibraltar coach at half-time:

OK lads, lets keep it tight for the first 5 mins....

stiffler123

Robbie Keane looks like Messi in this match. Man these guys are terrible.

Lapin

Loada balls. That was a perfect goal.

Duff

Lolwut?

Kristopherus

Linesman making up for his blindness for McLean's goal:rolleyes:

Dempsey

The referee was correct to disallow Gibson's goal. I dont know what George Hamilton is raving about

Absoluvely

Whats the quickest ever hat trick lads?

70 seconds. Still plenty of time for Robbie Keane to score another hat-trick in 69 seconds.

FourFourRED

That was **** McLean

Harry Palmr

McLean is terrible

Aubrey loves Joe

He was offside when the free was taken

Harry Palmr
