FFS - no-one hypes him up. He does get credit for working his bollox off.

A higher proportion of the Welsh population serve in the armed forces than both of the other nations.

Mr.Nice Guy

So nice to not have to hear Ronnie's moaning on commentary.

FixdePitchmark

if you are going to take one lad out - good move there - no card.

Arghus

I'd have to say that's karma for Allen after his dirty play on Meyler earlier.

The Welsh are pathetic. In the World cup they teamed up with engerland hooligans singing "we're England and Wales...etc":pac:

Mantis Toboggan

Starting to get on top now. Wales not as good as expected, definitely a chance there for us.

Roy -

Serious question though because unless there's going to be a complete 180 in approach we don't have anyone on the bench that can do what Murphy does in the air. Do a Gary Doherty on it and stick Duffy up top?

Mr.Nice Guy

Losing Allen is a big blow for them.

was thinking that - welsh guard.

Another point.

Fans singing COYBIG and we're in white when it's not necssary. Why is this?

Probably been our most effective and important player in this qualification campaign. Joint top scorer.

We will just have to disagree about this

Would not like to have been in the middle of that challenge.

Allen looks out of it completely

justshane

Big blow for Wales. Hope he's ok.

If this tactic isn't working by the time Murphy has to come off then it's probably good we'll have to switch up the system with a smaller forward anyway.

Serbia haven't had a shot on target yet. They look crazy nervy.

More poppies in Cardiff than you'd seen in most English cities. Big supporters of the forces too.

Lol he gets hyped by everyone in Ireland lets not kid ourselfs

FixdePitchmark

they are playing poor now - we need to press them now.

we look like we are

Mars Bar

Jesus it didn't look that bad

Mantis Toboggan

McLean doing a fantastic job of getting stuck in.

Fcuk us for appreciating a player who does well for us.

enda1

Ireland's best move there, taking Joe Allen out of it

GLaDOS

Hope Allen is ok but delighted to see him off.

not yet

Fcuk them at this stage as Oliva newton john once said...

Let's get physical

Appreciate all you want. Hes a very poor player who Irish fans enjoy for very stupid reasons

Osmosis Jones

Clark, stop fcuking scuffing the ball!

FixdePitchmark

when we press they look very bad at back real panic.

Arghus

He's a limited player but he's effective for Ireland.

Hyped by everyone?! There is literally no player in the Irish setup that divides opinion more than him. Talking out yer hole.

Green shorts though....

Scorpion Sting

Nice and assured stuff from Clark there.

Mars Bar

ah it was the ground that did the damage

adox

It’s a night for horrendous beards it seems.

Rayne Wooney

Script is writing itself, we’ll throw away 80 minutes of this game before actually trying to win it in the last 10 and it’ll be too late

He scores goals more than most, creates chances, works hard, and gives a shít about his country. Not sure if you've noticed but we don't have a wealth of brilliant footballers that he's getting in the way of.

Utopia Parkway

Lack of goals aside we really miss Long up front. And Walters. Murphy can't run the length of himself. So easy for the Welsh centre-halves.

He injured himself kicking one of our players with total disregard for his safety.

I actually hope Karma kicks in for him and he isn't ok

They could put that on the Irish crest.

Watching this performance you'd be happy enough that we won't be at the world cup, it could be worse than Euro 2012 if we got there. We're not a team, just a group of players floating around the pitch going nowhere.

FixdePitchmark

they are **** - move up

sonic85

Clark is dodgy as hell tonight. Scuffs all over the place

Mantis Toboggan

Duffy loves a good hoof up the field.

Bateman

Nice little spell now, come on, force a corner or two at least, see if they bend and break

Embarrassing stuff at this level, it's Wales not Germany or Brazil.
