Here come the grassroots conversations. We’ll have dozens of them tomorrow. Same every time we don’t qualify for something.

It's the reality though.

Dopey ***** are still defending deep, like there's anything at all to lose at this point

Game is over, may as well keep it relatively respectable.

The problems here are two-fold I think.. bad management, and we just don't have the players unfortunately (partly because we're a small country, also because of GAA)

And now it's 4

Denmark have a population just 1M more than us.

Iceland has a population less than 10% of ours.

Liam Brady and Eamonn Dunphy would have done a better job than that shower even with their walking sticks.

Credit to Ericson, gift him those chances and he will burry them

I still don't think he's world class however.

Subs at half time killed our chances. We were struggling enough to get the ball without taking off the only 2 midfielders who could get it.

StringerBell

Great ball by Wes and run by Long, shame he can't score at all at all

LuckyGent88

Ah long... you have to score those chances.

Meh, all this arguing about tactics. Had McClean or Murphy's efforts crept inside the post when we were one up it's a very different outcome. You can trace each of the four goals back to individual errors. It's not a coaching / tactical thing as any gameplan would be undone by errors of that nature.

The players take the blame unfortunately.

That's very harsh. You have been well beaten but their is no disgrace in getting knocked out at this stage of a tournament.

I hate this "argument"

Being a fan does not mean being blind to (or just ignoring) the obvious faults.

The odd time I've had 2 pints before a 5 a side. What the point ?

Well MON's not being blamed for just losing today, he's being blamed for not qualifying from a very winnable group.

When does Wes start his creative magic that wins us the game?

The amount of gloating about Ericksen, Wes etc is hilarious

Bleating Lamb

For the people wondering what Wes H offers to the team....we just saw it....defence splitting pass to an out of form striker.

What would you change at grassroots level? Smaller pitches? No competitive football until you’re 15? More emphasis on passing? A formation used from u13 upwards?

It's all well and good being the "best fans in the world" when everything is going well.

Those lads leaving early would want to be ashamed...you take your hammering.

It's all all the bandwagon fans, the true supporters will stay to the end.

Funny that, we were 1-0 up and kept playing at that just like some wanted. Worked out great, eh?

Eh no. You don't have a clue. At least comment honestly.

Pat dolan for manager.

At least we don't Have to suffer watching John horsebox face Delaney next summer flashing the FAI credit card buying pints for the fans.

They're countering easily in spite of us keeping 3-4 at the back.

It's a sad spectacle

We go one up, at home, against Denmark...and concede four... And a crowd full of morons singing the fields of Athenry ...

Its a fu*king joke, the players let us down big time tonight. They should be booed off the pitch, no other country in the world would cheer on their team after performance like that.

The problem with Ireland is that we think results like this are accepted because we have the " we're only a small country", but demark don't have a much bigger population than us...

Oh well, back to the usual for World Cups. Cheering whoever plays England.

UrbanFret

Its a fair reflection of the ability of our players and management. Not good enough at this level and lets be honest Denmark wont be winning anything either.

GreNoLi

Tin Tin has well and truly done us in.

That fan summing it up

Hendrick should have come off instead of Meyler, he’s done nothing all game.
