That sums up Longs whole night.

Shane Long is poison.

That was unlucky from Long

Long off please, before I go demented.

sky88

Sweet Lord how did he miss

Duff

Long. My god, feel sorry for him at this stage.

nice_guy80

use your left foot

how is he a professional footballer?

Kristopherus

Awful miss by Long. Take him off ffs.

justshane

I said it before the game and I'll stand by it, Long shouldn't be starting. He's not a finisher. It's beyond a joke at this stage. I genuinely believe Maguire could have had a hatrick had he started.

Oh dear Long

Dick phelan

Actually feel sorry for Long at this stage nothing going right for him at all, he seriously can't start in Wales we can't afford to miss guilt edge chances

What? He's shíte.

Doctor Jimbob

That's pushed me closer to the "long can't start" side anyway...

Agent Coulson

He is leaving Long on to try and get a goal hoping he does and has the eye for goal back on Monday.

alta stare

Come on Seanie dont let me down

TheCitizen

Shane Long is the whipping boy on here tonight amongst the whingers. They need something to moan about.

Will Mon have the balls to bring him on though?

Agree. Came to him quickly. All he could do is adjust his body and deflect the ball but he didn't have the time to control the trajectory. Anyone who has played the game at any level would probably understand that.

It looks like it's going the complete opposite way though. Confidence level getting even lower

AidoEirE

Have we reverted back to our old ways? Few subs in now to living things up would do nicely

Leave it off lad you cannot deny he is piss poor the last year. Because we have a different opinion to you we are whingers???? The stats dont lie do they? He has had a shocker tonight and unfortunately it is too much of a regular thing.

The other chances he missed in the first half were more glaring opportunities. The usual crew on here jumping up and down when he missed that 2nd half chance shows you how clueless they are.

Yes, he was unlucky with what he did. A player with confidence might have taken a touch

moldova playing better

Poison??

AidoEirE

Its rolls reversed, were playing like maldova in the first half and vice versa

GavRedKing

Some how weve reverted to type and started lumping balls and treating it like a hot egg, cant keep the f**king thing.

A better side would punish us.

Longs miss earlier should have seen him taken off ASAP. Hes had an absolute nightmare.

Ah no he will bring him on in the 93rd minute when we are looking to score the winner.

Ah now, I think he's been brutal tonight but how would he have taken a touch?! Defender was on top of him.

Hardly takes balls. Perhaps a little imagination and forward-thinking. Not sure MON has those qualities either though.

FatherTed

Not understanding why Houlihan has not been taken off already to rest up for Wales.

I'm a big fan of Long but on recent evidence I'm worried about him starting against Wales.

As I said in an earlier post though, most of the other options are unproven, so I can definitely see why MON is persevering with him. Hopefully his quality comes through.

A synonym for shíte for me.

And once again MON tactics come to the fore.

Boring, boring, boring. Hoofball.

Man's a dinosaur.

You can't complain in this country without being labelled a begrudger or whinger. We are entitled to expect more from Long. In fact I would venture that our players get away quite lightly compared to other nations
