Do we need scotland to produce a shank in order to get a freekick here?

Disagree. I thought it was clever improvisation.

It was a flap. He completely missed the correct contact he was looking for. He had no idea what was behind him! He should have caught it anyways too

Ah here.

Still glad he's off, though.

We need Long on soon. Scotland are vulnerable on the break

Scotland will drop 5-10 yards deeper as soon as he comes on. Pace is a rare commodity in international defences yet successive Irish managers dont seem to see the havoc Long can cause, despite his frustrating finishing. Its football tactics 101 to see that a pacy striker significantly alters the other side's shape and pressing

I did until you mentioned him

BoJack Horseman

You aim corners to the penalty spot....

Mr.Nice Guy

Long is better in the air than Murphy. I'd like to see him on.

Kirby

Naismith is an absolute cheat. Flopping again.

Tomagotchye

Ireland lack ideas on the best of days so trying to force a chance is a bad idea. Need to keep calm and know one quality chance will arrive and that's the one they need to convert

Say Your Number

Great stuff by Murphy to win the corner

Utopia Parkway

Scotland are vulnerable to pace at the back. Not sure how Long isn't on yet.

BoJack Horseman

Would have kept Wes on to work with Keane.

MarkY91

Regaining momentum like the first half. Bring on long ffs!

That_Guy

Hoolahan off? Surely Murphy off and Long on next?

Panthro

On her marks.
Get set.
Keane


88th minute smasher

klose

Best player on the pitch taken off great

Nib

Would dearly love for a Robbie Keane winner, for the week that was.

Celly Smunt

Good game for keane to be involved in with the ball bouncing in the box.

tayto lover

Hendrick is a poor player.

MonkieSocks

Notice how the Scot’s have been very disciplined at the back.

They aren’t giving away free kicks, where we could have a shot on target.

Kirby

Referee tells naismith to get up. Bout time.

Panthro

Naismith is making a show of himself.

Average i'd say

blueser

Hendrick's crossing has been woeful.

He's some gowl so he is.

Deise_2012

Shane Long is the best striker we have in the squad....how is he behind walters, murphy, keane and mcclean???

Nib

Fuck off, McCarthy. Absolutely brutal.

Don't think he's that bad myself. Only 22 as well, so hopefully he can improve.

Vicxas

How has Naismith not been booked for diving.. My god.

Panthro

When they say Hutton I hear 'fuk em'
Heee!

Mc Clean's not a striker.

Ok but I'd shove walters to the right and hoolahan to the left and bring on long way before mcclean

That_Guy

Nobody busting a gut to get forward and quicken the tempo. Fúcking pathetic.

briany

This game appears to be shuddering toward a boringly predictable conclusion.

Peist2007

Game was screaming out for Long's pace to be allied to Houlihan's vision. So he takes off Houlihan and brings on Robbie. Now there is no pace and no vision. Draw.

tayto lover

Throw on all the ammo Martin.

Mr.Nice Guy

Just side to side and backwards with the passing. Will be hoofball for the final 10 minutes.

LuckyGent88

Finally long is coming on.

Nib

Shlong, finally!

Utopia Parkway

The dreaded Ireland 1-1 draw is looming.

Panthro

Long to assist keanes 88rh min smasher

edgecutter

Just turned the game on. You would swear that Ireland are playing for a draw, very slow on the ball and off it.

born2bwild

Without Wesley we have lost a great deal of our attacking threat.

Stupid, stupid decision to take him off.

Kirby

Brown is a dirty player. Always has been.

Deise_2012

Can't understand how Long isn't playing. He got 10 mins v Poland and look what he did. I was delighted with O'Neills appointment but he is pissing me off now...

Utopia Parkway

How on earth was that not a foul?

That_Guy

Fúck off ref.

ctrl-alt-delete

Absolute joke.
