If we don't qualify the lads will regret it for the rest of their lives. So close, so achievable.

I'm still not over the Macedonia injury time equaliser under McCarthy

Bar any of his 15 set pieces.

Ireland were starting to do too much of that sitting back for a good fifteen minutes of the second half, there. Maybe they were mentally tired, or physically tired from the high intensity opening 20, but letting the Bosnians run at you is no way of getting a breather!

Overall, it's been a better display than I have expected so far. Murphy has hardly been in the game as a striker, apart from that chance for a header, although he's not getting a lot of support, so that's understandable. Still, it would be nice to see Long come on and inject a bit more danger up front in the second half.

If this stays as it is the Bosnians might request to be the 25th team at the finals.

BKtje

If it stays as is they would have been out anyway.

irish son

I'd love to see Long on soon.

Dempsey

Can they play that song for the 2nd half??

I think they're fishing for likes.

For those who are intested, it was purely the Bosnian fans who disrupted the minutes silence. Footage on social media of them doing their allahu akbar chants.

LuckyGent88

Come on boys. 45 mins of pure determination, heart, concentration and composure needed.

Its only the 4th time in the thread that joke has been said

And if it stays at is is, we can say it would have been 0-0 which would still put them out!

Turtyturd

'Afrightened'.

Besic on will let Pjanic play further up unfortunately

Seeing the replay again that pen was very harsh. If we're not capable of taking advantage of it we don't really deserve to qualify

Good job you're keeping check

Poor landing.

briany

I hate that carryon. Having a chance for a cross and passing it back nearly to goalie. FS

My heart

Quazzie

Just enough by Clark. Important,

Randolph is our best crosser.

See Germany game.

Utopia Parkway

Not a great start to the 2nd half. Already look in defensive mode.

JustTheOne

No closing down. Shocking.

LuckyGent88

Already very deep and defensive.

El Horseboxo

Has McCarthy forgot Ireland changes ends. He has gone back towards his keeper a few times now when there was space in front of him.

Amirani

I feel we'll be in a lot of trouble if we concede.

GLaDOS

Very very nervy. Need to change things soon.

frisbeeface

This is worrying.

briany

'Kin get on the ball, lads!

I'm swearing a lot tonight....

This is not good we are way to deep

Terrible from Randolph too, distribution has been poor

Dempsey

Suicide Football so far in the 2nd half. Time for the leaders to step up

Mr.Nice Guy

Brady's crossing flips from the sublime to the ridiculous.

GLaDOS

McClean and Long, bring on the pace.

jamesbere

Going to concede if we keep giving them this much ball

LordAwesome

Did Glen Whelan come out after the break? I haven't seen him yet.

Amirani

Don't think it's the right time for McClean. Long should add something though.

Rayne Wooney

Playing this deep there is only one team going to score

Utopia Parkway

Murphy could do with being taken off here.

Crucial block

Quazzie

We can't hold on to the ball at all this half. It's surely only a matter of time with how we're currently playing.

Mr.Nice Guy

They got us down Brady's side again.

Dempsey

Need an injection of energy onto the field, good timing with the subs

Utopia Parkway

Long and McClean on.

Risk bringing on Long, given his lack of game time. McClean cost us a goal on Friday. Not sure he is the right man for this.

Looks like we might do them on the counter attack if Long comes on.

Promising double change here, just as the Bos&her's were getting comfortable.
