Good goal but the level of celebrating? It's like when San Marino score.

Beechwoodspark

Lovely

MonkieSocks

Beautiful goal

Mclean's 11th goal for Ireland

DJIMI TRARORE

We scored

Mantis Toboggan

Much better intensity and intent so far about this Irish team

tayto lover

Two great set-ups from Horgan already.

ShamoBuc

Penalty!

3 feet outside the square!!!!!

Horrendous decision.

After all the shiit they've taken it was more relief than anything. Glad to see it.

Oh ffs a penalty.

I think he is caught between a rock and a hard place.

If he experiments and losses, his job could go. Media will have a field day if they lose to Luxembourg then Qatar.

So I think he is simply trying to win the game, to get the monkey off his back.

Ya i can understand that tbf

DJIMI TRARORE

Pen, quatar, FFS 3yards outside box

Free

Devils advocate... they didn't know the Irish team were going to do it?

Its the Chinese theyre after

Agent Coulson

About 3 miles outside the box.

No VAR they officials are waiting for the TV replays.

~Rebel~

Well, that positivity didn't last long!

No way is it a pen though, well outside the box.

Not even sure its a foul.

namloc1980

Way outside the box and didn't even touch him. Farce of a decision.

_Kaiser_

Jaysus. Where was this the other night?

Scorpion Sting

That's a disgraceful decision, has to be overturned.

Faugheen

That isn’t a penalty.

What is Bazunu doing though?

ctrl-alt-delete

Well done linesman.

Horrendous initial decision.

Come on, we haven't scored much and after last saturday I would be too!! I said this felt like a cup final.

Phew just avoided the penalty. good decision ref!

namloc1980

These Qatari lads are a pain in the arse arguing with the referee.

Loafing Oaf

So I guess Bazunu's a naughty boy rather than the messiah then...

I'd say it's more that a well worked set piece move worked, and from looking at the bench I'd say Barry was behind that given the compliments that come his way with Chelsea.

Do we have to find negatives in everything? He scored for his country. Give the guy a break like.

whatawaster81

Still though what was the keeper at there?

tayto lover

Jaysus a referee who changes his mind to give the correct decision.

Harry Palmr

Could have been a red

Cypher_sounds

Do they think this is the wc final?

Serious dive there. Refs are trying to get on the team for the WC too

~Rebel~

Fair play to the officials in fairness, as common sense as it was, you don't actually expect to see those rollbacks made.

Faugheen

What a save

ShamoBuc

Great save although he was offside.

Scorpion Sting

We don't score in games, we complain. We score in games and we also complain. Good grief.

The White Feather

Bazunu seems to have great confidence in himself. Good to see. I know he clipped that guy but at least he was decisive.

Good save there too even tho it was offside

Yeah, in fairness, after typing I figured it was probably more to do with a specific set-piece working out. Probably after a bit of slagging on the training pitch that it wouldn't work!

The White Feather

Come on lads, wind down the clock now :P

Well, I didn't complain when we scored twice against Serbia.

johnnyryan89

Is Long playing as a lone striker with Brady and Horgan playing behind him but in front of the midfield, or is one of them playing up front with him?

ShamoBuc

So close to 2-0, og

Faugheen

Seems to be playing more direct but with a purpose rather than the hoofball days of old.

tayto lover

Malumby can shift. Great speed there.

Have shown more urgency tonight in the opening ten minutes than they did all night against Luxembourg.

_Kaiser_

Anyone else missing the crowd noise effect? You'd think RTE would have that sorted by now

Faugheen

Good little game this. Plenty of energy from both sides.

Panrich

These lads like a dive.

tayto lover

No prisoners being taken,

ShamoBuc

Is it my imagination or are the Qatar players and bench rather loud in their 'outrage' at anything that goes against them.

Ya it's really highlighting how flat they were. The luxembourg game felt like a friendly in comparison to this.

The White Feather

He should have tucked that away for 1-1

Faugheen

Duffy needs to be better there. He’s far too close to Coleman and completely out of position.

Luckily he missed.

This is an accurate recreation of the Lansdowne Rd. crowd on friendly nights
