Euro 2016 - Round of 16 - France vs Ireland, 2 pm, RTE, ITV

Dirty Dingus McGee

Wes Hoolahan has been absolutely dire since he came on.

dublinman1990

Come on Ireland. One more shot at getting a goal.

Mr.Nice Guy

I said I wasn't sure about Randolph before the tournament but he's been better than I expected.

sky88

Not sure what there is to complain or be negative about: Ireland played their hearts out but simply met a vastly superior team in conditions that were torturous for them.

The players did their level best. The management did the absolute maximum with the comparatively modest talent available. Neither have anything to be ashamed of.

Ah Hoolahan...lost it twice.

He's should be shot as soon as the plane lands in Dublin.

namloc1980

Ah well. Great while it lasted.

vienne86

That's it.

Nice while it lasted. Thanks lads. Ye did your best.

Sand

Oh well - real shame but the team went for it. They can say they gave it 100%.

whiskeyman

Super super performance.
Going to 10 killed it for us.
We showed we can create a lot of chances and play smart football.
Hold your heads up lads.
You were FANTASTIC!!

Thought you were banned yesterday.

Well done lads, got us further than I imagined ye could. Definitely exceeded expectations this time around from such a tough group.

Roll on the WC qualifiers.

Mr.Nice Guy

Ah well, it was a nice ride. And the lads worked their arses off. Thanks and fair play.

Congrats to France.

Berserker

Tournament over for the boys in green. England and Wales left to fly the flag for the home nations.

Billy86

Ugh, still very proud but just like the Sweden game we ended in need of a sense of urgency... and the final whistle went because we kept passing it back to our GK.

Still, hats, shoes and all the rest off to the boys in green!

Howjoe1

Brave display, no shame in that defeat.

Grid.

Unlucky....put up a good fight!

DrumSteve

Well done lads and thanks for everything.

Oh f**k

They gave it their all. Fair play.

It's a pity we can't fly you out to a desert island and leave you there.

Fcuking troll.

briany

Ah, well.

I'm still proud of the team. Hope going into the WC qualifiers. Have to hand it to Griezman, he changed the game.

IamtheWalrus

Well done the boys. A good representation of the nation after the last debacle. Can't ask for more.

sonic85

Well done lads! No complaints with that - we gave it a lash but just didn't have enough in the end. Fair play to em

Scorpion Sting

It started off so promising but the lads were absolutely shattered at the end. They gave it their all but it just wasn't enough. I'm proud of our little nation and we showed we can mix it with the big boys, the Belgium game aside.

PTH2009

Amazing campaign they done us proud

Roll on serbia in September

TitianGerm

Disappointed but well done to the team. Left everything on the field and no shame going out to a team like France with some top class players in their line up.

Lackey

France can never say they bet us fair...

Not calling England 'home nation' any more!

briany

Ah, well. Still proud.

CptMackey

They did us proud. Pity.

Kobe248

Houlihan came on to control the game

And gave away the ball at every turn

Keano should have been thrown on

His final hurrah

Nobody gives a **** about the home nations particularly seeing as we aren't one of them.

Your man Coman is truly terrible.

Dunphy was right, a brainless runner.

You clearly watch as must of Bayern as Dunphy himself.

sneakyST

Disappointed we didn't put it up to them more after getting the early goal.

JaMarcusHustle

I'd like to have the class to wish France good luck, but I hope they lose in the most heartbreaking way possible while being beaten unconscious with their own dicks.

ricero

We **** the bed lads

Well done to all the players, mighty effort. We got out of the toughest group in it and scared the sh1te out of France.

I was at the Italy game on Wednesday and I will never forget it as long as I'll live. Amazing.

Thank you.

FutureGuy

A great performance but bringing on a clearly unfit Walters, who could not jump, was an awful decision.

Oops!

He's been our best keeper since he joined the squad by a mile, infact i'd go as far as saying in a very long time. Unbelievable solid and cool under pressure.

dark crystal

Randolph was great - could have ended 4-1 easily.

We can end the tournament proud of both players and fans.

namloc1980

Shame but they put it all out there. Some sloppy defending and a bit of French class was the difference.

Fair play to the lads. Gutting to go out like that second half but hope for the future. Football united the country in the last two weeks in ways we haven't seen in a long time.

When it's not happening for Hoolohan you know it's not our day.

Say Your Number

Disappointing, but at least we weren't f*cked over by a dopey Ref, they gave it everything and just ran out of steam in the end.

The French fans cheering every pass at the end, when just over half an hour ago, they were spitting blood at them.

nullzero

Hopefully Iceland hammer them in the next round.
Extra time off definitely made a difference in the second half.
Would have been lovely to get revenge for Henry, but life isn't that kind, especially when your Irish sadly.
