World Cup Qualifier- Ireland vs Serbia

briany

This is horrible scrappy football. It's not nice for me to say, but Ireland going ahead early is not a thing to celebrate for me. They'll just keep inviting Serbia onto them until they put one in the net. Get on the ball, lads!!!

And the RTE stream can fúck off. Away to the land of the Sky Sports streams.

Whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle.
Is there any chance of a football match breaking out tonight at all?

Referee standard nowadays is dog ****e, was same in the euros with us.

nope, the goal really was that early

Hopefully we can score again. Watching Ireland long enough now to know the chances of us holding onto a lead for 88 minutes is pretty remote.

siblers

The camera seems very far away, makes it hard to tell who is on the ball.

Buffering and freezing for me every few minutes.

Ray Matthews, LOI ref, would've booked 14 players by now.

Kassai is a good ref

yeah, I would prefer we go behind alright.

Hope the Serbs score next, will play it into our hands

If the ref would stop continuously blowing his whistle and actually give cards for a proper foul the game would be much better.

JustTheOne

Coleman looking very shaky.

True, Serbia aren't great but I'd take a 1-1 draw now.

It's being a POS for me too, nearly unwatchable.

I swear the clock must be going slow. Pretty awful game. Nice to be 1-0 up all the same.

Ivanovic calling for a card, after getting away with a blatant one himself earlier,

Looked like the ref was more or less telling him that.

Kirby

Pile of horsesh*t

Mr.Nice Guy

Ridiculous booking ffs.

happyoutscan

I'm sure it's probably been said a few times already, but this camera angle sucks.

**** off ref

Diabhal Beag

Wardy's done **** all wrong there. He'll defo pick up a second too

tayto lover

Randolph made some balls of that punch.

The Talking Bread

ffs. We are being attacked that side also. Ward could get into trouble here and the thing is he is playing solid lately (bar Belgium)

Anthony Buttimer would have said the jerseys clashed.

Mr.Nice Guy

We've completely withdrawn since the goal, similar to what happened against Sweden at the Euros.

tayto lover

Nobody in midfield able to keep the ball for awhile. Too much hoofing.

LuckyGent88

An awful lot of space for the Serbians at times

Kerrydude1981

Someone needs to stick on Tadic

briany

It's sickening. I hate watching the inevitable march towards the opposition take when Ireland go ahead early. How can they not see that their gameplan is throwing away three points?

nice_guy80

Need someone to string a few passes together

God awful ref
Terrible

Mars Bar

The Serbs love a dramatic scream

citytillidie

Hmmm ref is very weak

Kirby

diving twerps

Agent Coulson

Another harsh yellow

Duff

Hendrick booked for jumping higher.

Walters offering nothing

You have unrealistic expectations if you expect us to batter Serbia away from home for 90 mins in fairness.

tayto lover

This is not going to end well if we don't put someone like Wes on to control the midfield.

we beat Italy, were great against France and we are leading here wearing it.

I see a pattern.

Plus it is a damn nice jersey, one of our nicest ever

I sometimes wondered if it's harder to see a team mate when he's all in green. Ive never played in green in a stadium, so I don't know.

But maybe in that split second it's easier to pick out a white shirt.

Just my crazy theory on us seemingly doing well in white.

I had to check back and confirm he was playing he's been so anonymous.

There's no need to panic, they are holding their own. I don't see what Hoolohan would bring.

Rezident

Serbia are another crowd of divers. Pathetic!

Ref is very poor, 2/10 for the ref so far, looks like he has no clue about football.

The Talking Bread

better team behind here

We look so poor at dealing with crosses

murpho999

The camerawork is like watchng football in the 80s. I'm surprised they don't have a flashing/pulsating 'R' in the corner with each replay.

Mr.Nice Guy

Keogh nearly cost us a goal there.

We've been very poor since we scored in all honesty. Can't get it down and pass it whatsoever. Only a matter of time before we concede an equaliser.

He can put his foot on the ball and pick out a pass for one. Nobody else doing it.

briany

This is gick. Ireland have never hung on to a 3rd minute lead, and they won't start tonight on this performance. They haven't strung a pass together since the goal, and barely before then. Fair enough it's a slick surface, but that doesn't seem to overly bother the Serbs.

They are winning as they have scored one more goal than their opponents. Simple really.
