Wheeliebin30

Colemans comments after seamus leg break I'll never forget.

Seems like a sly character.

SlickRic

I'm so fúcking stressed out.

Berserker

Empty seats in the Irish section behind the goal?

3.5k Irish there.

GLaDOS

Hoof hoof hoof

SlickRic

Not one Irish player has attempted to hold onto the ball yet.

Yillan

They were some very panicky Irish players waiting for that corner to come in.

Bateman

Their anthem won't make them better players, it's coming across about as passionate a home crowd as I thought, no more

Mars Bar

Jesus that was close

Wheeliebin30

Gonna be a long night with this putrid football by Ireland.

FixdePitchmark

Irish should slow it down a bit

If we could

Agent Coulson

Nice to see McClean going in hard and fair we need more of that tonight.

Kirby

Anyone know what they were singing? " we know what we are....." and then something.

FixdePitchmark

allen is going to own this game

Mr.Nice Guy

Good start for Wales.

Back to the 10 men behind the ball, one isolated striker and minimal pressure on the ball that served us so well the past few years.

Can't believe we gave MON a new contract... clueless manager.

GLaDOS

What the fucj was that brady

Hmm, relates to the sheep and their liking for them.

Bateman

Wouldn't panic too much about them having this spell of possession, they're the home side so it's going to happen. Need to make it stick more up top though

PhilipsR

MIdfield getting pulled everywhere already. Not getting a foothold. Looking pretty familiar at the min.

The home jersey is green.

Guffy

Are the group tables h2h or goal difference?

nice_guy80

we miss long's pace already

FixdePitchmark

one man up front and straight to them - they are loving this ****e

Osmosis Jones

Stop lashing it away and pass the ball

keano_afc

Why are we giving them so much room? They're basically a Championship side, not Brazil. Get touch tight ffs.

Bateman

Think they were singing better than Ireland, we know what we are

Utopia Parkway

Plan so far seems to be let Wales have the ball.

SlickRic

Wales can try whatever through ball they like because they're just going to get the ball back immediately.

Arghus

Just try to stay organised and frustrate Wales, though they look threatening.

Quazzie

Giving the ball back to them with such ease will only lead to one result tonight.

sonic85

Looks like it's gonna be a long night

Ulysses Gaze

You'd think O'Neill would tell them that you can't fire balls into the channels ahead of Murphy because he has not got the pace to chase and win them.


FFs, that's just giving the ball back to the Welsh.

Ah sure as long as there's a party next summer nobody cares about the future.

We'll be stuck with this goon until after the 2022 campaign I'm worried. He will probably qualify for the watered down Euros next time around again.

Bateman

Our positioning isn't too bad when we don't have the ball, just need to retain it better when we do :-(

FixdePitchmark

that was ok

FixdePitchmark

hopefully things slow down in next 5 to 10.

It was a part of the game we needed to just get past.

niallo27

All I can hear is Irish fans I'm not sure what George is on about.

loudnoises89

We are absolute garbage.

J. Marston

Trapattoni had more balls than chicken shít O'Neill.

The midfield three haven't a clue how to deal with Ramsey and Lawrence.

sonic85

With all the chasing Murphy is having to do he'll be fcuked by half time

Arghus

Murphy is going to have a thankless night.

Bateman

crowd not as boisterous now

O Neill this is dreadful

Kermit.de.frog

Remember if Ireland don't go through the damage was done against Georgia and Serbia, not tonight.

GD. But that would only come into effect if we win, which we have to do regardless, AND if Serbia and Georgia draw.
