Absolutely brilliant set piece. Love that kind of carefully planned set piece. Deserved goal on the run of play.

blueser

Sunday morning parks defending by Ward there. Went to sleep and let his man steal a yard on him.

Turtyturd

Great goal.

TheCitizen

Ireland asleep here today. Get the fckin finger out.

Every. Single. Thread.

Ref with the yellow out again.

Frustrating goal to concede because Austria are muck. Not sure what Houghton is on about that they deserve to be in front.

sky88

Great finish but terrible defending from Ireland

Deserved tbf

Good set piece routine by Austria, Ward has been really poor so far today.

only half an hour in..theres time yet

Well worked set piece but that was terrible tracking from Ward.

I also think Randolph could have got down to it earlier. He was positioned well to be able to get down and stop it but was very slow.

AndyBoBandy

Austria will park the bus now, hit us on the counter and win 2-0

Mr.Nice Guy

Keano said he wanted us to go to war. This is more like Dad's Army.

Ward is absolutely rubbish, always has been

This may suit us. O'Neill doesn't have the stones to handle the tag of favourites, so we may as well be plucky underdog again

Yes, teams just never come back from a goal behind.

AndyBoBandy

I f**king hate corners taken short

Especially when your attacking options are limited at best

I actually still fancy us for a draw

irishguitarlad

We are going to lose this. This Austria team has a load of injuries and suspensions and we are making them look world class. Also what the **** is brady doing on the right wing.

Cantona's Collars

Lovely ball in by Christie,Walters jogs towards it and MacLean stands still looking on. Our strikers rarely if ever gamble on getting on the end of a cross. Infuriating.

PhlegmyMoses

Austria already wasting time. Mad when you consider the level their players are at domestically compared to Ireland's.

He's just winging it!

Mr.Nice Guy

Arter was looking for someone to pass to there and no one looked for it.

SlickRic

Arter was begging for an option of a forward pass. Nothing.

FixitFelix

Ward has been ****ing ****e

Harry Palmr

How many times have Ireland played Austria? Feels like an annual event.

How is Stephen Ward still an option in 2017?!

pjohnson

Brady should start LB.

SlickRic

That's 2 decent chances for Walters now.

TheCitizen

Get Murphy and Hoolahan on

siblers

Walters shooting is abysmal

blueser

44 minutes in, and no attempts on target. Says it all really. Plenty of the ball, but fcuk all threat.

Mr.Nice Guy

Might be time to bring Hoolahan on for Ward. Stick Brady at left-back, move Hendrick to the right, have Wes just off Walters.

Say this every ireland game.. but! When Trap played like this people called for his head?..
Why does MoN seem to get a free pass?
It's absolutely dire stuff,,

TheCitizen

Desperate performance so far

This could be the killer of our qualification hopes, 45 mins too save it

Getting to within 30 yards of goal and then going sideways and back,just not enough imagination in our play.

Dunno why people are surprised. O'Neill has always played **** on a stick football.

I mean Glenn Whelan and Stephen Ward should not be in that Irish starting 11. Ward is not good enough and Whelan was never good enough.

You have a love for the dramatics wouldnt you say.

irishguitarlad

Is it o neills orders that ward can't bomb on? There was a time there when arter was moving his hand tellimg him to run and he didnt budge.

To be fair Whelan is ok Ward is poor.

Andersonisgod

Dire. 1 chance for Walters and that was about it. Ireland have also been caught on the counter a few times and have left big spaces in front of the back four which is quite funny since they are playing with two holding mids. No confidence to play in midfield, nobody making an effort to connect the play high up the pitch, defenders too willing to lump it forward instantly, attackers hiding. All of this against a team bereft of confidence.
