WC 2018 Qualifier: Ireland v Wales, 7.45pm on RTE 2 & Sky Sports 1

Mcgeady very good since he came on

theteal

Did he stop his watch?????

Bleating Lamb

Whelan should get kicked in the head more often!

CantGetNoSleep

Such a small team Wales. Belting it clear and wasting time when you are 4 points behind in the group

nullzero

Christie isn't any great shakes

theteal

Cracking from McGeady

Hank Scorpio

Heart in mouth stuff

Koeman won't be sending any players over anymore anyway.

Shane Coleman..**** sake Ronnie

Well that was a waste of time.

Would have taken a point beforehand tbf.

There were a lot of poor challenges from Wales and the referee really didn't get a grasp on it soon enough, plus over all he had an inconsistent game at best.

Positives:
Unbeaten
Keep Wales at arms length

Negatives:
Serbia close the gap
Coleman
Bale and others banned for trip to Serbia

Like I said, this is not a team at all equipped to deal with a situation where they are playing against 10 men and expected to score.

Horror injury for Coleman, hopefully it's not as bad as first feared.

The trumpet related posting had me in tears, so it's probably all been worth it.

applehunter

Poor Coleman.

Johner

Watched the tackle back a few times, Taylor is a coward of a man, horrific challenge.

They were much the more attacking team til the red card. They were bound to sit back after going down to 10.

Take that

cud of won but could of lost

We need to beat Austria at home

Tonight Cud of been worse, all the best to coleman

Charlie19

Serbia and Austria both have to come to Dublin so a point still isn't that bad.

"Congrats on the point which I suppose you would have taken beforehand".

You've some defeatist attitude Tony O'Donohoe.

Whelan should have gone in the first half in fairness.

Kerrydude1981

We were missing the quality that Wes and Brady give to the team,but still qualifying is in our own hands

McClean and Ward were very good again

Why is Bale banned a negative?

Wales are close to finished now. Their attack is completely rubbish apart from him.

Gutted for Coleman.

Nah, a realist. He shouldn't have said it though in a packed stadium interview, alright to think it though.

Without Wes, Brady and Arter we struggled to create. Think we would have won at the end with any of them on the pitch. Disappointing.

Thought Wales were somewhat lucky tonight. The ref was being very lenient with them, Bale and a few others should have earned themselves a second yellow with their persistent fouling (they seem to like sticking the leg in for no reason, like that late tackle on McGeady).

What's more frustrating though is that Ireland fail to take the game against them when given the upper hand, all long punts and aimless crosses, really doesn't bode well for the rest of the campaign.

Less chance of taking point off Serbia I'd presume

We want Wales to get a result against Serbia, I imagine.

Leg hanging. Fúcking hell. Poor Seamus.

Harry Palmr

Ugly game on every level.

The tackle reminded me of the Cisse leg break

Father Hernandez

Wishing Coleman all the best and a speedy recovery.

A night of what could have been. Serious indiscipline and the ref never got hold of the game.

Serbia could and should take all 3 against Wales, if we manage to beat Austria we're in a serious position in a 2 horse race

Kerrydude1981

Gutted for Coleman as well,very honest player that gives everything,

Horrible stuff but didn't look that bad a tackle, they both went for it and clashed legs. Hard to see as it happened so fast

Just watched it back in slow mo, Taylor went over the top of the ball. Absolute dirt.

The Talking Bread

McGeady brought on 5 minutes before he was just may have been the difference. No problem bringing Christie on though, needed to keep that shape

Why? It's in our hands at home against Serbia.
Wales are the number 1 seeds, stretching the gap to third seems optimal to me.

Can that trumpet be banned from matches?

So annoying
