Switzerland vs Ireland [Match Thread]

Mr.Nice Guy

This is much better from us.

artanevilla

Ground suiting Swiss better it seems.

Scorpion Sting

A good passage of play for us at least.

micar

Much much better.

Neeson

We are playing stuff now that would get your blood going

lawred2

Didn't see anything in that

Jesus lads are this Swiss team particularly bad at falling over or is this the norm now?

is_that_so

Jesus the Swiss are sly.

noodler

That looked a nothing challenge and yet a yellow.

Another yellow

Mr.Nice Guy

This ref will send one of our players off.

pm1977x

No harm to stick one on Embolo, he's beasting us!

sligeach

Anyone else hoping Hendrick would miss the next match with that yellow card?

mada999

wow suddenly out technical ability has improved out of the blue...... wonder did Mick let the lads off the leash?

wonga77

There was feck all in that. Whelan is torture to listen to

I hope Ming Flanagan isn't watching, he'd be distressed seeing peat bogland being trampled on.

tayto lover

If we do manage a goal this ref will give them a soft penalty. He’s a homer for sure.

Mr.Nice Guy

The Swiss have been criticized in their media for throwing away leads, so hopefully that plays on their mind a bit as the game goes on. Have to make sure we don't concede a second goal or then it's over.

Scorpion Sting

McClean :mad:

He's like that contrary ****er in the pub.

mada999

it's a pity our lads are too Green to go down when they feel a touch also ....

Osmosis Jones

McClean doesn't look like he wants to even try running down the wing, as soon as he comes up against a defender he just kicks it away

tayto lover

Yet another give away from Mc Clean. Awful player.

irishguitarlad

Nice bit of play and the McClean just boots It, a headless chicken.

Maddening we have to wait to go a goal down to play some football

Strumms

Had to hit the target, instead a weak and wide back pass again..

irishguitarlad

But then he wins a corner

TheRiverman

Connolly made a nice darting run hoping to get the ball laid on to him,but McClean just f...ing boots it as usual.

Francie Barrett

At least we aren't going down without a fight.

Osmosis Jones

Coleman is genuinely trying to get himself sent off.

Think its more change of shape and tactics, going back to 4-3-3 with O'Dowda has helped the midfield out massively

we are always set up to conservatively....... always... Mick set us up for the 0-0

passremarkable

Doherty on for Coleman please

lawred2

Was that strength or just plain old obstruction?

Corholio

Madness from Coleman there to come inside.

mzungu

Randolf for man of the match.

Noveight

Beat 3 men to that.

noodler

Get Coleman off. This is not Captain behaviour

facehugger99

I think Coleman is having some sort of midlife crisis.

crushproof

Coleman has got to begin to realise he isn't the player he was

Mantis Toboggan

Nice bit of urgency being shown here.

It's happened for Everton recently too.

The Mig

George Hamilton easily makes 15 mistakes a match the blind shíte

Mr.Nice Guy

Coleman too busy trying to grapple with Embolo who is about twice his size. He's been disappointing tonight.

LuckyLloyd

Coleman terrible
Hendricks poor

topmanamillion

Coleman has offered sweet FA tonight. Time to hook him now.

lawred2

For a team so dependent on getting the ball into the box for a header.. we really are poor at crossing

Osmosis Jones

Ah fcuk off a yellow for going for a header.

noodler

This ref is a coward.

LuckyLloyd

Swiss lads an awful bunch of divers

Strumms

First time we get four attackers in their box and we can’t beat their first man with the cross
