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

No he didn't. He pulled out slightly if anything

He scores goals more than most, creates chances, works hard, and gives a shabout 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.

Scores goals :pac:
Creates chances :pac:
Works hard, you mean run around chasing the ball like a idiot going out of tactical position constantly
Giving a **** about the country isnt a reason to start and you proved my point about why people hype him

Why do the Welsh crowd just boo and whistle when we're on the ball.

Hope we score just to shut them up.

71% possession

Embarrassing

This is beyond putrid

Tense as flip but also an appallingly poor game

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

The bitching and moaning on this site at times is beyond boring

Stalemate so far. Wales don't appear to have the creativity to break Ireland down and Ireland are not interested in pressing forward.

I'll try decipher what you're trying to say and get back to you if I can figure it out.

We're getting great hang time on our passes.

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

Nice spell we have had 29% possession

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

Means feck all. It's the scoreline that matters.

They look nervous as hell at the back.

Has daryll Murphy touched the ball yet

Mr.Nice Guy

Going in level and them losing Allen isn't a bad outcome. There's reason to believe by using our bench cleverly we can get the breakthrough.

PhilipsR

I don't doubt that we do a lot of defensive shape before these games.

But I REFUSE to believe we do any attacking phases of play or set pieces at all. Look at how the Welsh set up at offensive corners to us. Our throw ins are based on Duffy getting a flick on and hoping for the best. There's just no joined up thinking to our attack. I wouldn't mind if it was direct if there was a purpose. But I don't see it.

Ireland have probably had the best chances to score

Obviously, but that ratio of possession isn't conducive to getting a positive outcome.

But he does score goals and create chances and there aren't many on the panel that do - we're in no position to scoff at those that do

Bateman

We're pushing up on them a bit here

_Kaiser_

Really can't see where we'd get a win here. With very few exceptions, they're dominating the game despite being very very average

His upper folices have brushed it a few times.

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.

The WC will be all the better if we're not there, let's be honest. From an actual football perspective at least.

murpho999

This Welsh team is there for the taking if we just had the composure to go and win it.

Vicxas

RTE Player is absolute muck.

justshane

Don't think Williams is the player he was at Swansea

crushproof

Feeling a bit better about this. The crowd is subdued and we're pinning them back at times. Some optimism for the second half.

Mantis Toboggan

Arter is so limited on the ball.

GLaDOS

"Muffy" :pac:

Muffy

Disgraceful tactics from o Neil

mzungu

We really need to make more of set pieces.

matrim

Can we stop letting Brady take everything? We had better set pieces in the last game without him

nullzero

Neither side deserve to get to a world cup finals, we've had good sides in the past who have deserved to get the world cup finals and have just fallen short, this time we're getting what we deserve and Wales would most likely stink up the world cup as much as Ireland were they to get there.

It's incredibly frustrating to watch.. If we tried to actually play the ball rather than hoofing it and praying we might already be a goal up here.

mewso

Beglin - "muffy" - lol. Must be his pet name for him.

justshane

Muffy hahaha

sonic85

Hard to see where we can go from here. O Neill needs to change it up a bit at half time and have a go at them. Nil all is no fcuking good.

Running around like headless chickens

Any UEFA team which reaches the WC well deserves their place. That's for damn sure.

Ive given my argument, hes all huff and puff with very little output
Hes has very little ability outside of the huff and puff so i will continue to mock people about him

mzungu

That's much better. More of that in the second half.

Yep, and has been since its inception. And the cvnts do nothing to improve it

We've succeeded in boring the home fans into submission.

He really doesnt do either if were being honest
The last player for Ireland who you can say scores goals is Keane, McClean is not in that category
