If it's 2-1 to the Danes at half time then O'Neill HAS to bring on Long and Hoolahan straight away.

No waiting around for 15/20 minutes to see how things go.

Mr.Nice Guy

Brady ain't going to provide the killer pass required to open them up. It's going to be up to Wes again to save our arses. Probably need Long on too.

Some supporters on this thread. If Ireland are as bad as you say, you’ve the team you deserve.

Hard to account for poor individual errors but significant gap in class out there.

Yeah and Denmark are a mid-tier team. Scary really

Nalz

We've zero composure and a lot of players lack a good touch or the ability to find space be it behind their man or coming short.

murpho999

No doubts there will be calls for Wes to come on now from the RTE panel.

smelly sock

Anyone for Wes now? And long?

Kermit.de.frog

Has to bring on Long and Holohan. No choice. It's all or nothing.

This is going to be so darn epic in second half, the stuff of legends

Ericksen thinks he's a god.

Something very arrogant about him.

3 goals no additional time, no idea how they actually calculate that number.

It's up to the indivudual ref. He can add it to the first half, or he can add it to the second half.

And u think he shouldnt??

You just get the horrible feeling now that the Danes will be able to either kill the game without too much trouble or incident, or score another just to really stick the knife in.

At least all goals so far have been fair enough.

They probably regained the time loss by playing real fast for the rest of the half.

We have spirit but technically, we've always been shyte.

At least we have a decent a Rugby team and it's impossible to play that so negatively to your detriment.

It's at the ref's discretion ultimately.

No point in adding 2 minutes on to that

First goal by the Danes was unlucky, but I have no idea what Ward was trying to do and that has left a mountain to climb. 
I still think there is hope, but some serious balls is needed from O'Neill about how we approach the second half.
Oh, feck us scoring early it never ends well.

johnpatrick81

Brady is having a stinker!! Ward too. Worrying times. The occasion seems to be getting to our players whereas they are relishing it.

It can change in a second.

Time to unleash the wessi.

I’d be inclined to leave Murphy on, and take Hendrick and Brady or arter off for long and Wes.

Randolph has been our best performer during this campaign, says it all really.

niallo27

It's bad when we are all are shouting for one of the worst strikers in the English league to come on.

Look at the posts around mine...”ah this fella doesn’t know what he’s doing”, “ah yer man is rubbish”. Yer supposed to be supporting the team yet the first sign something goes wrong, you’ve every wannabe pundit falling over themselves to tell us all where its going wrong and who is to blame.

Jeez were really missing Coleman and Jon Walters

We are getting stuck in to be fair but very shaky at the back

Godot.

Hoolahan constantly creates our best chances when he is on the field. Only a moron can't see that.

Francie Barrett

Two goals needed, O'Neill has to be adventurous.

Eamon will be like a lunatic I'd bet

Wes should come on and long also in fairness

Yeh because I love shouting for a team packed with southern hemisphere players and private school boys.

This is a discussion forum, what do you expect? Just a line of posts all commenting "Go on Ireland" "COYBIG" etc?

Do you understand the concept of a discussion forum?

Some positives if we fail to qualify, we won't have to put up with;

A) The Best Fans in the World having the mad craic daily.

This Paddy Power 'banter' every ad break.

C) That cockwomble ringing that godforsaken bell every few minutes.

D.Q

What's the harm in giving holohan 45 minutes. Literally nothing to lose.

Jimbob1977

Players are panicking.

This match is not beyond us.

Just need composure and professionalism

And a few goals

Osmosis Jones

I'd have Long and Hoolahan on for Arter and Ward. Stick Brady or McClean at left back.

MON tactically inept
If he had any balls at all he would bring on Wes early in the second half and at least give it a good go

We won't win this game with the same tactic and personell 2nd half.

Clarke was shouting at other players too, lost the rag a little.

They're as bad as the scoreline suggests.

People are expecting more, so how does that make us 'deserve' it?

castletownman

I'm as vexed as the next lad at Ward's error in the build-up to the second goal, but jaysus Arter would want to be scrutinised too. Effectively trotted back when they had us outnumbered on the counter. Application not good enough

Yeah should get some subs on now and really go for it, Ireland score early in the second half and Denmark will panic and try to hold the 2-2 score draw.

Kerrydude1981

Time to go all in here,bring on the two boys

No point in waiting 10 minutes to see how it goes
