Wales vs Ireland, World Cup Qualifer, kick-off 7.45, RTE 2 & Sky Sports

Francie Barrett

Some achievement to get 2nd place in this group, especially given that this batch of players isn't very good.

Well done Ireland but we could have done without getting the last few yellow cards.

No great players, but a great team of lads.

Jeff Hendrick is some man for the interviews!

Like he just won a game of FIFA !!

Northern Ireland our best bet of the ranked teams?

We won't know until Monday, but I don't think we will be seeded now. I think Crotia winning in Ukraine plus the Germany and Norway defeats will drop us to unseeded.

Draw is next Tuesday, why the fcuk does it take over a week to decide?

Randolf was great tonight. Safe pair of hands.

When we get Coleman back, I honestly think we have a very solid back four and goalkeeper set-up now.

Those 5 mins of extra time were torture. Didn't help when George was acting like it was in the bag

Italy
Croatia
Portugal/Switzerland
Denmark?

Mr.Nice Guy

martyos121

It's either Portugal, Italy, Denmark or Croatia lads.

So, anyone but Portugal, Italy or Croatia hopefully!

Need to work out how to fix it .

Christ my nerves are shot.

But this is a much better feeling than the lethargy we've had under other managers.

One step closer to Russia

McCleans goals directly responsible for six points in this campaign. That doesn't even take into account his energy and commitment. How anyone still hates on him is beyond me

Okay. Gotta feel for the little welsh fella crying in the crowd.

Maybe I'm just a c*nt but my favourite memory from WC 2014 is the fans crying in the stands as Brazil were being spanked by the Germans. What a great day that was.

This little sh*t in particular.

Bloody Switzerland, our bogey side, hate those cvnts

After Estonia and Bosnia I've a sneaky feeling were due a rotten draw

Hennessey is always worth a ropey moment. Delighted we capitalised on it. Duffy was McGrath-esque in getting in the way of absolutely everything they threw at us.

Gives them more time to figure out how to fix it and not make it obvious.

I think Northern Ireland will be ranked, they are currently 20th in the world, and as such they would be our best bet out of Portugal, Croatia, Italy and Northern Ireland?

Hazys

Any chance of Estonia in the playoff draw?

A great result I have to say I saw little hope of happening. Very happy right now. It's only a pity that we're sitting here celebrating getting through to the playoff from such a strong position in the group. In having said that, the players made a mighty effort to pull it out of the fire.

O'Neill tactics spot on.

First time in ages the RTE panel have not mentioned that three letter word beginning with W.
You know who....

Duffy and Clark were immense tonight, absolutely immense.

Doomsayers back in yer box now please yet again

Portugal can still top their group i think

Even that Paddy Power "Mad lad bants" thing isn't irritating now.

Are the playoffs still over two legs?

Are you seriously saying Meyler's tackle wasn't worthy of a booking?

No, I meant getting booked for challenges they didn't need to make.

Aye, when we have all players available to us we are a better side. But we pick up injuries and yellow cards like they are going out of fashion.

From the Guardian
If the draw were conducted based on the current rankings, Portugal, Italy, Croatia and Northern Ireland would be seeded, and Sweden, Denmark, the Republic of Ireland and Greece would not be seeded, thus clearing the way for a potential all-Irish qualification shoot-out

An all-ireland final would be great and no Mayo fellas in the squad nothing could go wrong...

I hate our game plan

Try to skank a goal somehow. Why not just try play ball. With your best players.

Totally agreed but lets give martin credit...his game plan worked. The last 20mins were like an under 12 side... We have to be more composed

briany

Just want to give a shout out to that Welsh pundit on Sky Sports who dismissed Ireland before the game.

MD1990

Hopefully Ireland doing well with many ex LOI players will encourage more fans to support their local league .
