Duff

Taking our best player off for..Brady. What?

mzungu

Robinson off?

He was our best player out there.

Hendrick has been dire the past 2 games. Hogan useless, Mcclean useless. I genuinely think Coleman is our only decent player.

This is sad viewing.

edgecutter

Mick needs to blood some of the others. McClean should be off at this stage, offered very little over the two game.

Circa 36k at this. Meh

Atmosphere really lacking but can’t blame them=![/quote]

Not a chance there’s 36k at the game. FAI creative accounting again. It’s hilarious

Robinson has been excellent tonight, only real bright spark

Omackeral

Honest question, would a 0-1 be seen as a success of sorts for Gibraltar?

lawred2

McClean pointing pointing pointing

and then stops running

He's an actual dope

Mantis Toboggan

In fairness mick will be happy with the 1 nil.

Robinson must feel frustrated getting hauled off for Brady there, he has easily been the best player on the pitch (not saying much i know).

Kristopherus

Danes 4-1 up on Georgia.

Danes are boosting their goal difference, whilst we... are not.

I know H2H takes precedence, but it still feels like the kind of group where GD could come into play

Still no Doherty. It's becoming a travesty.

If he doesn’t come on at all, questions need to be asked

Bizarre imo

Would love to know what he has done... McCarthy hung him out to dry after the game over there. He was under pressure from the media to play both in the lead up to it and jumped at the opportunity to make a statement when it didn't work.

Mick after
"Couldn't give a fook"
"Top of de group ta fook"
"Robbo great fuking game lad "
"And keeper can't kick ta fook"

Given the rankings differential, I would have thought so.

Agent Coulson

I love Mick but he got it badly wrong tonight.

Oat23

Shame the pesky wind couldn't have shown up to give them an excuse for playing sh*te against Gibraltar. Again.

This is it

Keeper .. again..

Yeah, he'll say it's ten points from four games. Shocking game so far. Lucky for you Gibraltar have nothing up front.

Coleman and Robinson are about the only two making anything happen.

Diabolical?

Jesus wept

How many opportunities has he had, when round the back, to put in a decent cross? How many has he actually put in? It’s one thing getting into the position to cross it but it’s no use if there’s no end product

The White Feather

This is an embarrassing performance. And that's saying something when their goalkeeper just keeps kicking the ball straight out.


He takes off Robinson who looked good and leaves Doherty out completely.

He blamed the wind over there, what will he blame tonight?

antodeco

This really is dire!

That reads like Yeats or Heaney.

simongurnick

quote from Mick from the pre match presser: “If it ends in a scrappy 1-0 win, off somebody’s backside, I am not bothered, I will take the win.”

Step aside, Conor McGregor, we have a new Mystic Mac

Lucky for us we got that deflection because we've nothing up front either.
This has been deplorable watching.

TheCitizen

This is shít. O’Donoghue better drop the honeymoon routine after this. McCarthy needs to explain why Doherty is being left on the bench when the team is performing so poorly against a pub team. A desperately disappointing performance starting from a poor unimaginative team selection from McCarthy.

Bertser

This is like watching United under Moyes

osarusan

It's much better to watch if you pretend Gibraltar are Spain.

Yeah, they usually concede far more. Georgia hit them for three and North Macedonia scored four against them recently. Armenia scored six against them not so long ago.

Brady at right wing with Doherty left on the bench, is this a joke from McCarthy?

DJIMI TRARORE

As bad a performance as u will ever see,Trap,Mon,Mick no difference in them. Not one goal from 4 strikers against this lot,Gib might even equalise from their only attack in the 95th min. We seem to be waiting for a mistake rather than creating anything

Gonad

Gibraltar are to us what we are the Denmark .

And that's all that matters really, going into the summer top of the group.

Father Hernandez

This game was perfect for taking a bit of a risk. Leaving the usual older lads out, going with O Dowda, Doherty, Cullen, etc and yet we’re still stuck in the same rut

Questions need to be asked alright. 10 points is brilliant but tonight was fookin shyte

Omackeral

Screw it, bring on Rhodri Giggs for the last 10 mins

What do Irish managers have against Doherty? Wasn't selected by MON either. One of the first names on the team sheet for Wolves.

whiskeyman

Great to see a rag-tag bunch of journeymen, from a small rocky outcrop putting on such a spirited performance...











And Gibraltar aren't playing too bad either!

Hammer Archer

Is Doherty going to be McCarthy's Andy Reid/Wes Hoolahan?

Doherty had to have said something or done something to pi$$ Mick off. It's the only explanation.

I actually thought wed improve as the game wore on but no dice. It's been unbelievably bad

Duff

Keeper is definitely taking the piss now.

tayto lover

There’ll be loads of young players in England with Irish grannies queueing up to sign for us after watching this.

Even Liechtenstein managed to score 2 against them at home FFS.

Pity is has been nothing to write home about.

Looks like theres a decent crowd at the Aviva for a less than marquee game.

Some betting scam I wonder?

We need another because Gibraltar will get a fluke goal otherwise
