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.

The apathy is everywhere. We have a gombeen of a chief executive, and a busted flush, passive aggressive manager who o'donoghue and co. appear intimidated by

One small silver lining.

I was facing the depressing trek to the bedroom to watch this on the small tv as my wife watched the Apprentice.

But now I think I'll stay in front of the big telly and watch it with her...

Mon this is disgraceful
Buck stops with him and these shocking tactics

Kerrydude1981

Jeff Hendrick was on before the match talking about the Euro's

"Played with freedom,had a go"

A long way from that tonight

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..

One and a half games into a campaign after making the knockouts of the Euros? No?!

secman

That paddy power advert is piss poor taste ... too many young sports people haven tragically died on fields of play

Thank you Brady. This eulogising of the euro finals campaign bugs me

Ugh, hoofball from the kick off. Might as well just have a shot at goal from the centre circle.

At least it would be a shot on target

Ronnie Whelan calling Jeff Hendrick Jeff Kenna.

Does anyone else find the RTE website streaming useless

Roddy23

Ha "Jeff Kenna standing beside the ball with Robbie Brady".

briany

How harsh could the half-time team talk be, I wonder, if they did the same thing virtually on the first kick of the ball?

tayto lover

We are allowing them to shove us off the ball and bully us all through this game. Very poor.

O' Neill is a dinosaur, waited to see if he could get one last gig in English football before signing his unwarranted new contract. At this stage Irish players have been booting the ball long and swinging in crosses from the half way line for so long I doubt they know anything else at international level.

Duff

What does Keane bring to the table here? He's always shíteing on about "giving it a go" and "playing football" yet this is the shíte we have gracing our eyes..

Andersonisgod

At some stage someone in a position of power in Irish football surely must question whether there is a better way to approach football than this.

GLaDOS

An Irishman finally makes a decent run

Great, a skanger

It's woeful. I only use it for these games, really, and it's only then that I remember how frustrating it is. It stops and starts if you're lucky. If you're not so lucky it just stops.

And, oh yeah, I complied with RTE's request to disable my adbocker on my browser, and still it won't play. I realise why the website is so shoddy is overall and it's because they've spent almost the whole budget on a super tech that detects not only adblock anywhere on your computer, but maybe also if it is installed on a neighbour's device or perhaps if you even think the word.

Mr.Nice Guy

You know it's a poor game when the pitch invader gets the biggest cheer of the night.

GLaDOS

Ahahahhaa Coleman runs the pitch

CurryFlavoured

Colemannnnnnnn

delaad

Now, you dying hoors!

Andersonisgod

Like a real glitchty FIFA goal that makes you rahe quit.

briany

Wellity, wellity, wellity. But by Jaysus, seriously against the run of play.

Get in

Duff

Mother of fcuk!

DDC1990

I've been waiting for Coleman do that since he broke into the Irish team.

Well worth it.

A few bits of luck but he deserved it for just taking the man on and going for it.

Kristopherus

Actually I find it hard to say GET IN !!!!!!

Unearthly

Well constructed carved out goal

OwaynOTT

The thing about Ireland is, they always try to walk it in

secman

That was some 1 2 3 4 5 played by Coleman:)

Call Me Jimmy

Say Your Number

Won't see a more spectacular goal than that ever

Now the inevitable sit back and invite them on to us, 34 long minutes to go

Jayop

Wayhayyyy

What a strange goal

suicide_circus

Coleman, like myself, lethal from 4 inches

No no no, that's down the wing --> cut inside --> square it back just outside the small box.

Or at least it was, played FIFA for the first time in donkeys years a few months back and didn't know what I was up to. It seemed very slow and disconnected, not sure the higher framerate works for it.
