Can't blame him for that. Ref isn't meant to allow play to continue with teo balls on the field.

Great stuff Hendrick legend

Call Me Jimmy

90 mins of squeaky bum time is just too much

vienne86

Hendrick, you prat.

Francie Barrett

Hoolahan being completely dominated here, McCarthy and Whelan offering diddly squat to support him either.

Royale with Cheese

Can you really give a free kick for that?

Ref is an Idiot 2 balls on the pitch and the throw should have been taken again

He didn't bring a second ball onto the pitch, it was already there, so the throw in should have been re-taken.

No it wasn't, the second ball was already in play therefore the game should have been stopped. Had he brought the ball onto the pitch then yes...he didn't so no!

Don't mind that cat, he's the resident begrudger

Ireland don't look convincing defending set pieces.

More or less have four centre halves here. McCarthy is doing what he is told. He takes a lot of slack but he does a lot more than we think

AllGunsBlazing

woohoo! half-time!!!!

Mars Bar

That was an infuriating display of hoof ball and incompetent refereeing.

Debil

This is the same ref that sent off Kieth Andrews. Has a history with Ireland.

Peist2007

Great to get to HT at 0-0. Were under the cosh there big time. Well done boys!

Strong Life in Dublin

Is there anything we can do about this awful ref? He is clearly favoriting Belgium

Strumms

Long lucky not to be booked for that. Ireland lucky to be level.

Hope the ref pulls a hamstring or something and we get the 4th offical on. Can't be any worse.

the groutch

Can they sub the ref at half time?

jcd5971

Terrible performance from Ireland there like the worst of Bolton and Stoke combined

vienne86

Ref just blows for half time as a Belgian guy gets chopped down. Unbelievable.

Thank god that half is over.

Jayop

Can one of the mods not ban that wum.

Agent Coulson

McClean on for Hoolahan in the second half.

It was stupid and unneccesary.

Looking forward to hear what dunphy has to say.... So no time for a brew!!

Harry Palmr

I'd have sent Hendrix off for that :pac:

Shane Long is going to get sent off, he is full of attitude aimed at the wrong people while Lukaku seems to be wearing lead boots.

SlickRic

Belgium are there for the taking.

Boskowski

Anyone on the bench that could come on for that Hendricks fella?

Angron

Maybe someone will notice Belgium have a 12th man on the pitch for the second half.

superfurry1

I'm a fan of long but he is fouling too much and head dropping lots of hopeful balls but some bad touch's also, the defence have been rock solid great credit to Clark too.

BorneTobyWilde

I don't see Keane or ONeil on sidelines asking WTF
Clearly a game plan to restrict the space and get men behind the ball.
This is tactical .
Need to improve it when we have it though. Wishful thinking passes need to be turned into precise passes, if its not on why play it. Need to be certain of those final balls.

Stupid by Hendrik

Extremely stupid and deliberate. Sensing a lot of indiscipline in the Irish team and the ref is catching all the pushes and deliberate fouls. I'd say he could not wait to blow for half time.

Is that why he didn't book Long there?

Mec27

Can I just say Belgium are absolutely poison, win this or not. They have zero imagination whatsoever, we are bad but jesus that is the least nerve wracking game I've ever watched Ireland in, second best team in the world they are not.

Call Me Jimmy

completed passes by us would be in the single digits?

fair play to the lads so far they are busting their balls in defence

briany

Not looking forward to another 45 minutes of this. You have to figure there's a goal here for Belgium.

Nah they don't work for UEFA so can't swap the ref :pac:

GLaDOS

Ref is gonna fúck us over

Corholio

The booking by Hendricks was idiotic, fair enough if there was another ball on the field but refs use their discretion with that if it can be cleared quickly. The linesman ran on and took a ball off the field in yesterdays match. What did Hendrick expect to happen after he kicked another ball into where play was going on? He could get booked later for another tackle and be sent off absolutely needlessly. I wish players would think for a split second sometimes.

Fiskar

De Bruyne is simply not being marked tight enough and is clearly their danger man

Too Tough To Die

The ref hasn't been that bad.

Ally Dick

Dunphy won't hold back
