Cut to pieces, shredded into tiny bits.

Game over.

I really hate the Swiss, our biggest bogey team ever.

Noveight

Decent finish from a CB in fairness.

TheRiverman

Deserved goal.

Vital Transformation

Great passing and strike.

Danger here...

A well taken goal to be fair.

J. Marston

Hamilton and his big mouth strikes again.

Gonad

George Hamilton jinx again

It was coming

Mr.Nice Guy

Need some creativity so get O'Dowda on. Not sure I can take both McClean and Judge firing crosses out of play.

More luck to them. We are pretty dire

Suppose we might as well go expansive now.

Fromvert

Hendrick just stopped and let him run

Hard to see where we will get the points to get to the euros now. A draw would have been **** all use anyway.

Glen whelan.

Quazzie

Looking at some of the players here you'd wonder who they go back to playing for their respective clubs and actually have to play some football. We've been hanging on from the first minute.

nullzero

Switzerland will go into the finals and bore the socks off of everyone as usual.

Most of our players are accidents waiting to happen, let's be honest.

Enda stevens.

edgecutter

Poor, but ireland have offered nothing this half to warrant anything from this game. Need to have a go now.

smelly sock

Have we had a shot on target?

Porthallian

Watching on Sky Sports. What did Hamilton say?

BorneTobyWilde

It's embarearsing, should just stop competing , better off with a bobsleigh team.

Actually Hendrick was following him and then just let him go into box so easily.

Good shout for a penalty there. Hendrick was definately nudged in the back

smelly sock

Its starting to hit home now. Trap, oneil and mccarthy.

The players we have are not good enough.

You are fighting a losing battle there. He's obsessed.

If you were having dinner with this team and you asked them to pass the salt, the salt would end up out the window.

Mantis Toboggan

Bring back MON all is forgiven..

To be fair if they were any good they'd be 4-0 up against this Irish side.

Ultimately this has been a poor game notable for terrible wasted opportunities on both sides.

The less crap side are going to win, not much to celebrate if you're a Swiss fan.

we haven't had a striker in years, none to bring on.

This has been awful. I forget how rotten we are and actually look forward to these games

But we are chasing a goal. Why would you remove an attacking player instead of a defensive one?

BullBauld

It's pretty sad when according to the commentary our only hope of scoring seems to rest with a centre back.

Agent Coulson

George Hamilton is 69 how has he not been forced to retired by RTE since it is a State funded company and the retirement age for state employees is 65?

Mr.Nice Guy

Why is he taking off Hourihane?!

That’s definitely why they scored.

Kermit.de.frog

It's the hope that hurts

I would have thought it was hit home by the fact that McClean seems to be the first name on the team-sheet despite not actually been able to control a football. But he runs around a bit so its all good.

TheRiverman

Whelan should have had a shot there just f...ing try it.

smelly sock

Hogan on.

So still no merit in Long being part of the squad.

I call bollix on this.

Irish football simply hasn't evolved. Every side no matter what their level comes to Dublin and largely dominates possession.

We know nothing other than getting to the byline and a hit and hope cross which has about single figure success rate. It's nothing but a waste of possession.

Standards are just so low. Beglin was carrying on if we had seen something equivalent to 1970s Brazil when the Swiss scored.. it was a couple of handy one twos against stationary Irish traffic cones.. yet such a bit of basic forward passing in the middle is so far beyond is it's depressing.

Crossing as your only form of attack is from the nineties.
