How are the irish fans celebrating ffs just shows how low this team has gone we are still crap and would be better off away from the euros and not make an utter ass of ourselves like the last time

We equalised with an injury-time goal. Fans tend to celebrate that sort of thing.

What do we ideally need from the remaining games with GER/SCO/POL? Draw with Germany? Beat Scotland? Draw with Poland again.

Wes Houlihan was brilliant...

I agree with Liam

I think your overrating us.

It's true though, based on the evidence of the game. We were all over Poland in the second half, created chances and hit the post a few times.

We need to cross the ball better though..

McCarthy is very disappointing to be honest I think he can do much better but he comes across like he doesn't have the belief in his ability. he should be trying to run games like this but goes missing too much

Mantis Toboggan

Nobody Gave the ball away more than Houlihan.

It's O Neill. You know more than anyone what he's like!

Yep. For the next 3 months people will say "he'll definitely have learned a lesson from that second half" before he goes out with a similarly negative lineup and approach for the Scotland game.

Mr.Nice Guy

Dunphy talking sh*t as usual.

'Wes Hoolahan was brilliant.'

Bloody hell.

Agent Coulson

Is Wes Hoolahan related to Dunphy?

Heart is back in the team.

Exactly and at least there is a bit of energy and commitment about us. And there is bite in us too. If we fail with MON then so be it. At least we won't be dying in a straight jacket like we were

GavRedKing

The boys must have a buster on how many time they can mention Hoolahan.

My money is on the 85 time theyll mention Hoolahan.

Didn't see anything wrong with it, the guys went in fairly - but yeah, usually breathing on a keeper is enough to concede a free kick so it was a surprise

Not much wrong with most of them, but they are given almost every time.

Eamo needs to shut up waxing lyrical about Wes

I will be very surprised if we get those results. We simply can't beat teams ranked higher than us. Can't see us beating Scotland and that will end the campaign.

I won't take out my frustration on my polish team member tomorrow morning, he doesn't know what an escape he had tonight :pac:

Long should quit until Given and Robbie are axed.

With Long starting in what was a physical game things would have ran differently, Forde would have stopped the goal too.

Ole ole ole , gimps celebrating a draw at home . Wow.

Don't understand this at all.

Poland FIFA ranking 34th
Ireland FIFA ranking 66th

Poland on what? 7, 8 game unbeaten run, defensively brilliant at the moment keeping 3 clean sheets in 4 games, and favourites coming into the game.

But our fans shouldn't celebrate a crucial point against the top team in our group. Why? I think a lot of people need to remind themselves that we are an average team and should be happy when we come out with a good result.

Manager to blame.

Brady played out of position.
Long should've been on earlier.

You omitted starting Given

Rayne Wooney

The panel is hilarious, it will be a sad day when the 3 lads pack it in

I really don't understand why many seem to think he's Ireland's answer to Lionel Messi. It's very strange. Similarly Jack Grealish has played about 10 minutes worth of football as a substitute in the Premier League and is hailed as the next great hope.

Christ they have a hard on for him

Mr.Nice Guy

Dunphy has to be taking the piss.

murpho999

Which Champions League team does Wes Hoolahan play for again?

sonic85

jaysis lads move on from holohan.

Wes and Xvai!!!

As Bill would say "Ah come on now Eammon"

Nah you just couldn't spell it. Wasn't fat fingers. Doesn't matter

How many times has Dunphy mentioned that game in anfield.

dirkmeister

Comparing Xavi to Wes Hoolahan...haha

Ulysses Gaze

Hoolahan.....the Irish Xavi

tayto lover

Did Dunphy not see Wes losing the ball a lot tonight?

thelad95

I honestly think Darragh could probably give a better insight than these three.

But it's not a good result. Game was there for the taking.

Yeah it's daft really. It's quite obvious he's closer to Messi :pac:

Walters did well tonight.

Jesus just send out Wes Hoolahan on his own sure

No mention of that

I wonder will it be highlighted on RTE if Hoolahan has a mare against Scotland. It's embarrassing how overboard they're going.

At one point in the 'fantastic' second half Hoolahan got caught in possession and then got nutmegged trying to get it back.

Rugby, GAA, Horse Racing, Athletics - RTE are world class at producing....at soccer I find myself repeatedly using the word 'embarrassing'

Dirty Dingus McGee

Wes Hoolahan for the Ballon D'Or.

Agent Coulson

Dunphy thinks we won the game now.

Fcukin hell Dunphy thought we won

Eamon thinks a draw against Poland is a victory

Uh oh, Dunphy has officially jumped the shark even by his own standards,
