Can't decide what's the best result in that one.

Process? €€€€

i.e. get membership of UEFA then apply for membership of FIFA. Yea, I imagine there is money involved if you want to be cynical about it.

Gibraltar can compete in UEFA competitions, not FIFA.

Christie the hero at both ends - shocking defending

They say Cyrus is the one and only.

Embarrassing performance so far. . .Getting opened up by a bunch of butchers, bakers & candlestick makers.

That was a stupid time to be showing a replay.

To be fair I think two of them play professionally - in League 2 of England...

Also have to have a national league I believe, which the team is representing.

Which team are you referring to?

Mint Sauce

Wasn't Germany only a goal or two up by HT as well against these guys? Its still pretty bad though.

Is there much call for candlesticks in Gib?

Maximus Alexander

Cyrus Messi tbf.

Hercule Poirot

Have us backed at -4, wasn't brave enough for -6 - sometimes cowardice is the best option

I'm sure they are powered from London

Dempsey

Another non existent display from central midfield.

What has James McCarthy done so far this game?? Whelan has take a few corners is all

newballsplease

Play to the whistle lad. Deliberate handball. Yellow is right decision...

Ronnie whelan talking muck

KungPao

Hard to watch.

Hercule Poirot

Johnny Walters looking for 100k a week (according to reports), can't dribble past a Gibraltan postman

Never realised McCarthy was playing till just a moment ago.
Absolutely anonymous.

Brutal game, this.

newballsplease

I dont think many would be surprised if Gilbraltor managed to sneak 1 goal.

I went for Gibraltar +4 at 6/4, think I'm in good shape

Hercule Poirot

I think they managed to equalise against the Scots - could see a repeat here

efb

They take part in the island games... Ah heyer

irishfeen

Chewing gum for the eyes..

edgecutter

Really poor. We could struggle on Monday night.

LuckyGent88

Well that was fairly rubbish. No passing moves at all really. Just cross field balls all half.

Van.Bosch

And I thought watching Utd this season was boring....

FatRat

Something to consider before people criticise this performance too much...

Gibraltar beat Malta 1-0. Italy beat Malta 1-0 last night. So Italy essentially drew 1-1 with Gibraltar last night :pac:

Rubbish.

Idbatterim

that was a stonewall peno v o'shea, poor finishing / lacking a little luck and that damn referee have cost us the second goal, that means the nerves will be put to bed...

CurryFlavoured

Could come down to GD between us and Scotland so they better start scoring.

This is their first affiliated tournament, they will be ineligible for the island games now (as far as I know)

Ulysses Gaze

Walters is terrible. It really says a lot about how poor a squad we have that he is a first choice striker for us.

Mr.Nice Guy

I expected us to have at least two by half-time. I won't be able to relax until that happens. I could see Gibraltar nicking one goal but not two. A second goal should kill this game.

Kermit.de.frog

Gibraltar risk being humiliated here. Have to get back in to it.

Ireland are playing like they don't want to know, or like they simply expect a win to just 'happen' after a day by the pool. I don't think you can do that against even the worst of teams. I would expect them to be a little sharper v. Georgia on Monday, if they have any pride at all, that is.

Meglamonia

Why are we hitting long balls against these? Should be playing it around them ffs.
