You can support while being critical where warranted. So far, it’s been warranted. It’s a match thread not ‘support Ireland’ thread.

Aye, but plenty of teams generally have "tactics" that aren't head down and hammer it as far away from you as you can.

Feck. We concede an early goal. Lawrence the scorer.

no one picking up Joe Allen ffs...

we just going for long ball each time.... Wales are putting the ball down on the ground and playing like Brazil Georgia

The Talking Bread

If we are going to lose, I hope we lose handsomely. First time I have EVER said this. But at least then we won't be left exposed to more excuses and passive aggressive responses by O'Neill when anyone dares question his "tactics".

We don't have the players but who we do have are going nowhere under Martin "coasting" O'Neill and his gopher Roy

Strumms

We are sitting way too deep, giving them far too much space, time and possession.

ERG89

Wales discovering they are playing the Danish national team on Sunday just before kick off might have been a bad omen. Wales look dangerous on the ball we look ponderous only clipping balls forward with no rhyme or reason.

2-0

Mr.Nice Guy

Bale screamer makes it 2-0.

major bill

Cracking goal! This could be a slaughter

Kermit.de.frog

No one can be surprised. Our team, in terms of standard of players, has been on the slow downhill trend for 15 years.

This is the worst Irish team for a competitive in generations.

BUT I absolutely don't blame the players.

They always do their best.

spock.

World class from Ben Davies there

artanevilla

Oh well.

Going to be a long night

Lovely finish. Ireland offering nothing though.

GLaDOS

We're gonna get thumped

corny

A bit like Robben you always wonder why the defender doesn't close down his left foot. Great strike though.

lertsnim

Utter ****. Get Delaney and O' Neill/Keane away from any of it.

Sanity_Saviour

Why are we playing our futsal team?

ThunbergsAreGo

ONeill is a victim of his own success results wise

mada999

this 3 at the back is not working... they spreading the ball wide and getting good results...

Duff

Walters may just jog off to the bench and have a round 2 with Keane.

artanevilla

O'Neill apologists, back in your box.

Nerdlingr

Even before they kicked off, we had two men on the left hand side ready to run forward for the big lump up from the centre back. Sure enough , kick off, ball played back to Duffy and he gets closed down, yet he tried to lump it anyway, but it gets blocked.
Brain dead stuff straight from the off.

duffman13

Bale gets the ball on the right, I wonder what he'll try do here! Shocking defending tbh

Close the browser, raise up your scarf, and cheer away so. But your surely can't expect many to be positive watching this gowl.

If you dont like it turn it off whereas i will continue to support and cheer on my country with or without my scarf.

We all know we dont have the greatest players in the world, we all know we dont have a progressive manager but ffs ye all comment as if ye would do better out there. Can you remind me are you professional manager or player or did you ever even play the game??? Maybe you should apply for the job, you should have full support here.

Bales goal....what a cracker. That wasnt because you think we are **** tho. For what its worth I dont agree with MON staying on but he is so instead of giving out ill show support even during times like this.

mada999

Wales are short passing it around easy peasy.... and it's not just their marquee players that are doing it..
the same drivel will come from O'Neill... they aren't technical enough to pass it 10 yards

question is ..................why aren't we.

Joking. I actually think that isn't as bad of a team as people think.

But that midfield of Wales (Allen, Bale and Ramsey) are on another level, experience wise

Strumms

While the talent pool isn’t there, I think it’s clear that the resources we have ought to be showing more. The performances of late stink of stale, maybe time for not only an influx of fresh faces on the team sheet but calling the shots and making decisions too.

This is about the worst take in the history of takes.

That's your choice but people will still complain about him and rightfully so imo.

Who is suggesting they'd do better out there themselves or do better managing themselves? That's an absolutely ridiculous statement. Laughable.

weldoninhio

And another pointless ball played aimlessly out of play. Bravo Martin.

It's a sentiment that gets brought up fairly often that "if you can't do any better then you can't criticise them" it doesn't make any sense, it's like telling me that I can't tell when someone's bad at playing the guitar because I'm no better at it.

unlucky from Christie there.. finally we didnt use the long ball and nearly got through

The Talking Bread

Newstalk Commentary just called Walters "Bale"........................oh, if only!

Then again, can Bale hold the ball up in the corner using his big arse at 90 minutes like Walters?

tayto lover

Duffy very stupid there.

mada999

if Dundalk can put the ball down and pass the ball and get results in Europe with "poor" players then the Irish team can put the ball down and try also imo..

Mr.Nice Guy

The painful reality is our woes go deeper than the management. Bale's goal came from Hendrick attempting to play it on the deck and giving the ball away cheaply.

If/when MON and Roy go, we're still left with the problem of having a talent pool big in heart, but shockingly low in quality.

Bad enough for you to bother replying to it??? Thanks i feel honoured.

Kermit.de.frog

I'm not even watching the game. I don't have to. I know they are playing the same embarrassing caveman "football" we are use to.

I'm sparing myself. Trust me, it's easier.

Kenny would puck the head off O'Neill, too.

You don't think Hendrick misplacing a pass has anything to do with the coaching, and he's just naturally not a good passer? Plenty of teams better than us have a worse selection of players.

And yet amazingly Hendrick can pass the ball with Burnley.

Strumms

We dominated possession and territory but nothing, no imagination or ingenuity and pours as fûck every time Wales get possession from midfield on.
