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

This is Gibraltar they’re playing against, its going into the last 5 minutes and they only need a goal to equalize. If you’re not seeing warning signs here you’re deluding yourself

In fairness MON would have been crucified for this. And I was not a fan of his.

Gonad · 10-06-2019 9:30pm

We desperately need a midfielder to come along who can take the ball with his back to goal and get turned and makes things happen . There is so much space just in front of the Gibraltar back 8 and a decent baller would be dropping in there and making havoc

Zero creativity

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

Mick wasn't brought in to take risks and didn't have friendlies or a nation's league to try different options out. There's gonna be no big changes made to the team until Kenny comes in long term.

citytillidie · 10-06-2019 9:31pm

At least try a different corner taker

Nerdlingr · 10-06-2019 9:31pm

Definite penalty there

Dubh Geannain · 10-06-2019 9:32pm

Thread isn't even entertaining this evening.

Life has been sooked out of it.

FixdePitchmark · 10-06-2019 9:32pm

Is this our worst home performance ever ?

simongurnick · 10-06-2019 9:32pm

Keogh doing a Sergio Ramos impression

Keeper is definitely taking the piss now.

Been doing if since the 1st goal kick they had

nice_guy80 · 10-06-2019 9:32pm

Was there a need for 4 at the back in this game?

keano25 · 10-06-2019 9:32pm

Where's VAR?

Wes made mincemeat of this lot last time we played in the Aviva. We've nobody close atm.

Strumms · 10-06-2019 9:33pm

Where we are at : playing a side at home, who are by my maths 166 places below us in the FIFA rankings. A team of part timers, who we have managed over 87 minutes to manage about...

2 attempts in total on target
1 goal (an og)

Nice...at home, against.. non professional part time footballers.

FixdePitchmark · 10-06-2019 9:33pm

What the ****

Robinson by a mile

Dubh Geannain · 10-06-2019 9:33pm

MotM Robinson surely.

Father Hernandez · 10-06-2019 9:33pm

McGoldrick given MOTM

Should’ve been Robinson

whiskeyman · 10-06-2019 9:33pm

Man of the Match should go to one of the school kids at the half time entertainment...

Nerdlingr · 10-06-2019 9:33pm

Honestly. McClean. Five yard pass.

Jesus that's bad.

Some betting scam I wonder?

You thinking the Irish lads are playing like this on purpose?

~Rebel~ · 10-06-2019 9:34pm

This match has made me so, so tired.

alta stare · 10-06-2019 9:34pm

There is no way the manager or players can defend this. There is no way they can come out say the usual tripe. Embarrassing.

lawred2 · 10-06-2019 9:34pm

McGoldrick motm

Pmsl

ShagNastii · 10-06-2019 9:34pm

You wouldn't mind the scoreline if GIB had played well defensively but they have been crap.

sonic85 · 10-06-2019 9:34pm

I never had much of an opinion on the likes of Dan Crowley but we need to get the likes of him and Jack Byrne into the squad as regulars and see if they can be creative influences. There's not one shred of flair in this team.

McGoldrick getting MOTM is a joke. Robinson has been head and shoulders the best Irish player on the field

Harry Palmr · 10-06-2019 9:35pm

Senility level through the roof not picking Robinson.

simongurnick · 10-06-2019 9:35pm

blow it up ref, my eyes are burning

Judge could have been that player if he didn't get injured against Denmark .He's good with the ball at his feet and has a good delivery of the ball.

We might as well have just named the Gibraltar lad's shin MotM.

TheRiverman · 10-06-2019 9:35pm

How can a Man Of The Match be awarded,there wasn't one ?????

I'm afraid to criticise him for obvious reasons but he's an incredibly limited player and ridiculously predictable. An LoI player would offer more than him.

edgecutter · 10-06-2019 9:35pm

How many shots have we had that are on target? Pathetic performance and pathetic team selection. Too many guys living on past reputations still playing.
