Good man Connolly.

tayto lover

Ffs Coleman. That’s terrible.

Strumms

Fûck sake, we have one on one and can’t even find a pass, nowhere fûcking near we are brutal.

Noveight

Jaysus that pitch is in some state.

irishguitarlad

John Egan has twice now booted It down the line to no one, what's he at. Or was It Coleman, anyways It was ****e.

Strumms

Crap, what was that ?

Father Hernandez

Hourihane needed to take that corner

Strumms

Swiss are getting a fair bit of joy down the right

Mr.Nice Guy

That was Ronnie Whelan's fault.

ERG89

F**k it

sligeach

$h1t€ in a bucket!

Osmosis Jones

7 lads standing around him

TheRiverman

The pitch was Pairc Ui Chaoimh in a previous life

DDC1990

Yeah, we're doing alright actually... 10 seconds later 1-0.

topmanamillion

Good strike. Been coming and likely to be more on the way.

Agent Coulson

The curse of George Hamilton strikes again.

Noveight

Nice finish, that.

Can wave goodbye to that point McCarthy was settling for.

dirkmeister

Was it McClean kicked the free straight out over the line in the run up to that?

Father Hernandez

How the fúck did we go from Connolly winning a free kick to McClean booting the ball out for a throw

Shambles

Gave them possession right away, christ

Typical commentators curse

lawred2

Nice finish but pile of lads ball watching

Esse85

We sure as hell won't be scoring twice tonight.

Whelan needs to be stronger in that aerial challenge.

Strumms

Looked like a foul on Whelan in the build up yes, good finish though..

And ANOTHER shîte final ball. Ffs

sonic85

Floodgates could open now. Swiss are looking good on the ball

Osmosis Jones

Connolly lashes it across the goal and there's no other Irish player within about 40 yards.

Father Hernandez

Swiss love a dive, jaysus

This has all the makings of a 4-3. Hopefully to us.

After a decent enough first 5 we are second now all over the park...

Any team with Glen Whelan in the team won't win jack, how he was ever a pro footballer I'll never know

I was always a critic of his but for the last few games I have seen he has been one of our better players.....

Doctor Jimbob

Whelan was never great, but he could do a job in his prime.

He's now 35 and playing for an atrocious hearts side. Surely there's a better option.

Strumms

AND AGAIN !!!! Simple pass, ****èd up

lawred2

McClean had lost control of that ball but that was definitely a push

Oh shut up.


On a side note were way too open.

Who's a better defensive midfielder in the squad?

siblers

Won't be getting much off the ref tonight

Thepoet85

Jaysus, how was that not a foul.

sligeach

Should have been a free to McClean.

Utopia Parkway

Ref must think it’s Gaelic football.

He used his shoulder alright

But into McClean's back

sonic85

Theres passes going astray all over the place. How the hell can we hope to get something from this game if we cant complete 5 or 10 yard passes

Osmosis Jones

That's what, the third simple pass that's been kicked right out for a throw in already?

lawred2

Then he gives a foul for that?

Strumms

Pure dive, ref five feet away.

Looked to me like the Swiss player had more desire to win the header.

This Swiss team are not unbeatable. We have it in us to come back.

lawred2

The three in the middle are being dragged all over the place
