Referee is shít.

That is all.

Does that count as a shot for the Italians? :pac:

I can't believe how much Coleman has regressed.

purple hands

I might puke if we don't score soon

awec

Make some subs now before it's too late.

Kenjataimu

What subs should we bring on?

Francie Barrett

Come on, make some subs!

Just about to post this he's been much better tonight

Yeah...really seems like he needs to be in the Whelan position to thrive.

Alf Veedersane

Little snippet of play there where the ball goes back to Randolph...McCarthy runs back to show for it and gets shooed back and Randolph thumps it long.

There's a time and a place bit Jesus the pass was on for a bit of Ireland possession rather than thumping it long for Murphy to not win

martyos121

If we do manage to pull off the win here, this has to be the team to start in the next round. Big if though of course.

I don't think we look like scoring. Long looks a very frustrated figure and I just can't see how we can get a goal here.

If they keep taking pot shots from distance there's no frigging hope.

Aidric

Can't remember the last time an Ireland side has been so dominant.

If Italy were to nick one now it would be like finding out Brendan O Carroll is your father.

sonic85

Has nil nil written all over it. Ill be happy enough if it stays as it is though. We've played much better tonight.

Sean Kinsella

It's getting a bit long ball now....who knows, that might just work.

Francie Barrett

0 attempts on target.

Strumms

I didn't see any of the build up hardly so can somone say if Walters is injured injured or does he have 15 mins in him ?

take everything

I wonder if Ireland got through here would they continue to play like this in the knockout stages.

SEPT 23 1989

So a nothing substitution

PeterTheEighth

I wonder what Keane is saying to him.. :pac::pac:

"Dont let this be like the rest of your career ffs, DO something"

briany

No, not McGeady.

It's always McGeady.

Irish_rat

Bring on subs lads

McCarthy had no interest in that ball.

Harry Palmr

McGeady?

Mc Geady --- our saviour

Degag

Anyone know who the fella in the suit is behind Martin O'Neill?

Irish_rat

Mcgeady you never know

keano_afc

Hopefully the last we see of Murphy. Not even close to international class.

the groutch

State of McGeady with the long sleeve shirt

gandalf

One thing to take from this match is the normal starters in the Italian team don't have a lot to worry about from their replacements. Woeful play from some of the Italians.

Yeah, Ireland are huffing and puffing, but I'm happy that they've at least showed pride and passion.

I've been very surprised by Murphy tonight. Did very well

Howjoe1

Jaysus Ward:eek:

sligeach

I hope we don't get sucker punched as we chase this goal.

SlickRic

MON is really shít at substitutions.

Mr.Nice Guy

Hoolahan not getting a run out?

And it melting in there..as for the tats !!

sonic85

Should Wes not be coming on to add a bit of composure and craft on the ball. With Murphy now gone we need someone with an eye for a pass to try unlock the defence

We'd have to; the KO stages are all about better teams who with no interest in simply coasting.

LuckyGent88

We have lost a lot of composure in this second half. Haven't got down the wings at all.

No pressure on him at all. Didnt start the game so there's nothing expected of him.. All the Italians will be tiring, and he has 20 minutes to go from zero to hero. What an opportunity.

^Though I'd doubt that's the way he's reasoning it in his stressed head.

Master-class by the wiley old Italians.

The Talking Bread

This is your moment mcgeady. Step back up.

SlickRic

Brady and McCarthy have been superb. That is McCarthy''s position, and he's showing it.
