Euro 2016: Scotland v Republic of Ireland - 7:45 KO 14/11

Utopia Parkway

Some of our delivery into the box has been very poor. Either that or we are just fannying about rather than put it in.

JUST ****ING CROSS IT IN

What you expecting total football :pac:. Its going to be rough as a dog with one bit of magic hopefully for us, a bit of a tip in I expect.

Ha not the style of football just how much we are panicking on the ball and Scotland being way more dangerous. Every time Scotland have the ball in our half they look likely of scoring.

John O'Shea going full on captain marvel there.

Soups123

McGeady really struggling under the attention tonight

All of them have.

McGeady has been very poor so far.

Adamocovic

I'd rather Robbie Brady to come on second half! Give us a solid delivery from set pieces!

John o shea is a different player in a Irish jersy fantastic defending

Trying to do too much doesn't help. Get a few simple passes under your belt before trying the fancy stuff

Billy86

Hard working, but disorganised and brainless stuff from us in their box again.

GavRedKing

Hanley acting the martyr, get up ffs

Scotland are more up for it to be honest right now. Hopefully a good half time talking down will get them going. We have some players out there that will cause them problems.

Naughty from Long.

dreamers75

We are both ****e.

Billy86

That was filthy from Long.

He never touched him? Feck off...

Dempsey

That was sore

He's been class for Sunderland this season as well.

Should have always been a cb instead of being moved throughout his career, Fergie never gave him the chance to cement one position

Adamocovic

Should have been a goal, wasteful by Fletcher!

Say Your Number

How did he miss :eek:

sky88

Mcgeady and mcclean been very poor on the ball

Utopia Parkway

Should have been 1-0 there.

To be fair he was never, ever going to play there ahead of Ferdinand or Vidic.



Christ we got lucky just there,

The crowd have got to McGeady, he has been abysmal.

GavRedKing

Thats a huge let off for us

Dempsey

Nightmares for Fletcher

Adamocovic

Why did Fletcher try flick it? Should have just made sure of contact!

I'm glad he didn't though!

8-10

How come Charlie Adam doesn't even make it on the bench these days? He's got a good set piece delivery at least. Didn't realise he was out of favour, unless he's injured?

Ah here yer man came across him as he was sprinting. Unintentional for me. Scotland could have had 2 reds on another day.

Soups123

Keogh and Ward looking awful

LuckyGent88

Massive let off. Should have buried that.

Need the half time whistle

Billy86

Good man McGeady!

We are getting played off the park now, though.

Adamocovic

Nice little bit of play by McGeady there, hopefully gives him some confidence.

Utopia Parkway

Think we need another body in midfield. Naismith is coming deep to collect the ball and there's nobody near him.

It was deliberate for me, in the replay you could clearly see Long look down at Hanley's feet and stretch his out to clip him.

adox

Scotland are gonna run themselves out of the game if they don't score this half.

He looked right down at Hanleys ankles before doing it. Definitely no accident.

tayto lover

We'll sneak one soon.

GavRedKing

Long and walters link up is good, its the 2nd phase thats ****e

Michael D Not Higgins

Come on bladder just another minute or two.

LuckyGent88

Walters is having a great game. Really showing well for the ball and constantly winning his headers.

Yeah we're getting overrun in there and Hendrick being booked doesn't help

TheCitizen

Great play by Aiden there.

Utopia Parkway

It's all a bit long ball up to Walters so far from Ireland. He's won most of them in fairness to him.

I think he thought he'd try a Ronaldo style flick. Thankfully he ain't no Ronaldo. A let off for us.

GavRedKing

Germany 3 up at HT.

Gotze with the 3rd

Billy86

Walters, why the torpedo pass there?

Dempsey

He has an agricultural first touch at the best of time on his left, never mind any fancy flicks. He side foots that with his weaker foot and its a goal 9/10

Long is quick. Just knock it ahead of him.

Aidric

Whelan gets a bad rep but he would be useful in this sort of game to break up the Scottish midfield.
