Soups123

Nice to see a dive the other way round

Kerrydude1981

Ronnie saying Scotland look more positive in this half,fair enough

He doesnt be long changing his tune though,he said earlier in the half that both teams looked negative and looked like they didnt want to win the game.

BobbyPropane

Very well played Keogh

LuckyGent88

Good effort from keogh there

GavRedKing

Thats a great ball

Adamocovic

Great ball by Brady pity couldn't get a touch on it.

tayto lover

Great ball by Brady.

J. Marston

Oh get up, you fanny.

SlickRic

These Scots are some moans.

GavRedKing

Good to see marshall get up and not act

BobbyPropane

We've been poor tonight but Keogh - O'Shea seems a good partnership

Terrible terrible terrible

Hammer Archer

Very disappointing to see Strachan's team resort to mass diving.

Dempsey

Dont see us getting out of jail on this one

dastardly00

FFS O'Shea you pussied out of that challenge.

PTH2009

Hello 4th place

We will be the only team from the home nations not to qualify

Soups123

Really hate seeing Ward in an Ireland shirt there has to be better options

LuckyGent88

Need to keep the pressure on and try and manufacture a chance.

Robbie in the 93rd minute!!!

SlickRic

The difference between the teams in terms of composure on the ball is marked.

Bit too early for drama posts like that still to play these at home and Poland twice

Tonight disappointing but a long way to go

Adamocovic

Awful display by Ireland today. Don't see why we wouldnt play to our strength. Put McGeady and McClean out wide let the run down the wing and whip in crosses. Think we were overly concerned about the Scottish threat that we didn't even focus on waging one ourselves.

Started making a few more chances since the goal went in but too little too late I feel. Very disappointing. We were in a brilliant position before the match, if it stays like this were down to 4th with a game against Poland up next.

Billy86

Two massive wastes from McGeady there...

fullstop

There's times I wonder if McGeady knows he has teammates. Has really let the occasion get to him

besty

McGeady has had a stinker.

Adamocovic

The even worse implication of this is that tied places come down to head to head record now. More than likely it will be us or Scotland going for third, this could be a huge result!

We stay above Scotland even with this result dont we?

Result against them in Dublin ,and sometbing off both Polish games, we come 3rd.. Not all doom and gloom lads!

Aidric

Law of averages we'll surely get one chance.

Keep the ball away from him. He's just looking to prove a point.

GavRedKing

Another soft one for the scots

edgecutter

3 scots around one irish to get the ball. There is the desire we lack.

It will fall to McGeady...

Soups123

The theatrics of Scotland tonight is awful they are awful at diving at moaning remind me of Isreal a few years back

fullstop

Jesus christ, incredibly adept at falling over these Scots

Kenjataimu

We now need to beat Scotland at home.

SlickRic

The diving and moaning is endless.

Strumms

Coleman lucky not to be pulled back and given a 2nd yellow..

If we dont grab a late goal we cant say Scotland havent been the better side

What is mcgeady doing????

GavRedKing

Get back mcgeady ya daft eejit

Ah but sure don't we all love a good auld moan?

I'm ot too down in the portable loss here, but hopefully it is a wakeup call that we're simply just not as talented a team as some like to think we are. Scotland were the better unit on the night, and it's not shocking since they are the better team on paper.

RoryMac

Ireland haven't coped with the occasion half as well as Scotland, the lack of a presence in central midfield has been a big factor as well

If McGeady and McClean played out on the wings, Ireland would be even more exposed in the centre than they already are.

besty

Mulgrew is a nasty little ****

Kerrydude1981

Get up Mulgrew FFS

Son Of A Vidic

Why is McGeady helping the Scots waste time? Fecking idiot.

J. Marston

Good stuff, Quinn. Lay into him.

RobbingBandit

Probably been said a couple of times tonight but god damn I hate the biased smug bastards that commentate for sky.

SlickRic

Mulgrew's challenge was worse, it's just McGeady didn't fall like he'd been Tyson-ed.

Dempsey

It wasn't Quinns challenge that Mulgrew was smarting from

Nope comes down to head to head record, we drop to fourth behind Germany and Scotland and Poland
