The dog is getting very upset by my reactions to this match. So hard to watch us unless were behind or have nothing to loose

Francie Barrett

If we don't win here we might as well pack it in for this qualification.

Get Walters off

JustTheOne

Dumphy was right about the centre back partnership.

He got a lot of things right in the pre match talk.

franglan

Randolph has the ball, no interest from anyone to go short for it. Wouldnt see it anywhere else

TimRiggins

Walters nearly scores the most undeserved goal in the history of football

Akrasia

it must be 70 -30 possession to Georgia in this half

Christ Long.....

Long has been piss poor.

I know Walters hasn't had the best of luck with injuries but he looks a shadow of the player he was last year .

Oh for the days when Robbie Keane would have grabbed one by now and everyone would be saying "he only scores against the Georgias"...

That thunderclap ****e is getting on my tits

The Talking Bread

Unbelievable noise from Georgian fans!

Seems like a very good atmosphere

TimRiggins

Why doesn't McCarthy make the right pass?

GLaDOS

Fúcking hell

This is going to be a grind of a campaign. No squeaking in through third place either in these qualifiers

tayto lover

Randolph very slow coming out there.

SEPT 23 1989

We are giving them so much time and space nobody closing them down

justshane

I can't believe that Daryl Horgan, Stephen O'Donnell and Patrick McEleney and possibly even Dane Massey can't play at this level and improve the team.

Duff

This is the worst I've seen the team play individually and as a whole in a long, long time.

Weve been doing it for yonks, just a few newcomer clowns keep shouting huhhhhrrr now after the summer

Ireland, much like being in a warzone, have the uncanny ability to inflict both existential boredom and white-knuckle angst. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Billy86

Not just that Ken there, but the laws for fouls on goalkeepers are quietly one of the biggest farces in the entire rulebook.

Something needs to change at half time.

tayto lover

Brutal first-half. We should be 2 down.
Hate MON's brand of football.

SEPT 23 1989

I can see pens being thrown in the analysis

I feel nothing watching this game. Nothing.

Mr.Nice Guy

Current stats according to BBC:

Possession:

Ireland 43% Georgia 57%

Shots:

Ireland 3 Georgia 7

On Target:

Ireland 0 Georgia 1

Corners:

Ireland 2 Georgia 3

One of the most depressing performances I've seen from Ireland that I can remember.

sky88

That was one of the worst first halfs ive seen

edgecutter

I can't believe that the players we have can't get the ball down and pass it around. Too many times we have lost it and we are allowing the Georgians space and time to do what they want. This could very well be an upset.

Mushy

Why bother watering the side Ireland will hoof the ball to next half?

eh i dunno

Only 3 days until we have to endure another 90 mins of this crap. Outplayed by Georgia at home is a new low.

Utopia Parkway

Must be the worst 45 minutes from Ireland in a long time. Especially at home. Nothing good to be said about it apart from we somehow didn't manage to concede through sheer luck.

Debil

At least it didn't end in an embarrassing Iceland clap.

CurryFlavoured

Have we not being playing pretty much like this (not as poorly but style-wise) under MON all along?

What? Do you think we could actually win this?

We were equally rubbish before we went behind against Serbia

Aidric

Abject hard to stomach stuff. Why are we paying Georgia such respect at home?

Hulk Hands

Quite looking forward to this Dunphy rant i must say. One for the ages i expect

Abysmal stuff. The mentality is utterly broken.

I remember the glory days of the late 80's - a rammed Lansdowne Road on a Wednesday afternoon, the crowd bristling with excitement and we'd only be playing Malta or somebody.

When the halftime whistle went just now, there was utter silence. This team have really lost the crowd. There's no anger, just apathy and sadness amongst support. Where's the fire in this team? We're happy to allow a terrible team boss us at home. It's really bad.

bennyl10

Nice to see proper honesty from RTE..

It can only improve.. right?..

Mars Bar

We are analysing this match for our uefa b licence.

**** me...

Thankfully we only half to do one half but I'll have to watch this first half again.

DDC1990

It doesnt neesmd to be said, but we are absolute ****.

secman

Should have put Dundalk out against these, at least we would be playing ball to feet .

A_Sober_Paddy

Did Richie just say Christ

suicide_circus

This sucks the big one

bennyl10

So again..

Has the MON experiment failed now?...

Refuses to use any of our league team in Europe.. plays league 1 players!

we had a decent euros.. but Christ has it been anyway decent before/after..

Mr.Nice Guy

Wales got a second goal just before half-time in Austria so they lead 2-1.

Debil

No Irish players taking the initiative at all. Every pass sideways is just skirting responsibility. Surely someone can run into space when they have the ball.
