Scotland vs Ireland, Women's World Cup Play-Off Final, RTE 2, 8pm k.o.

Great result 👏

Fantastic achievement to make the World Cup!

Nice touch to give Tony O'D a jersey

Still trying to figure out if we qualified or not...

Barrett came on 6 minutes before she scored and it was all about parking the bus after that so what the sweet fk do you mean by poor ?

PotM no but poor definitely not.

Well done. Great night.

She took the goal brilliantly but in fairness, she wasnt all that great apart from the actual goal so didnt really deserve player of the match.

Great achievement by the team.

Been nothing but heartache for past 5 years in trying reach tournament's in both codes.

Fair play to Girls for lifting the country. Beautiful to see a Donegal lady get winner after all that is happened. If ya cant be happy for that alone best not watch or hear about it.

Calm down. As the front player she couldn't keep the ball for even a few seconds to take any pressure off the midfield and defense. The ball came to her maybe 4/5 times around 75-85mins and every time her control and touch was non existent, to the point of giving the ball straight back to the Scots.

Not having a go at her, they're just facts. She took her goal brilliantly with, ironically, a superb first touch. Roche's choice of her as POTM was just bizarre.

Fabulous result - and there's some serious hero worship going on this morning from my 11 year old goalkeeper daughter who is telling everyone who will listen (and a few who really don't want to!) that Brosnan should have got PoTM. Her goalkeeper gloves went into school with her today too.

It will be great to see an Irish side in a World Cup again. (I was in Japan in 2002, and I'd be heading to Aus/NZ for this one if the flights weren't so eye-watering).

Absolutely not worth arguing about and as I said I'm not taking anything away from her, brilliant for the goal just lacked in overall play for me. The faux outrage at saying it was just over the top for me. Last I'll be saying on it.

Celtic Symphony

Hardly.

The biggest achievement ever for an Irish team in the women's game and it's got a three page thread on boards.

Despite the huge push the media are now giving the women's soccer team and women's team sport generally, it doesn't seem to be sticking with the public, sadly.

Great win - the song was Celtic symphony - thers always been a close association between Irish soccer team and Celtic , and game was in Glasgow . probably just an emotive reaction, with no harm intended , but no doubt the Daily Mail will be in Brexit outrage mode.

Should have told the gowl from Sky to get f*cked. Won't hear a peep come poppy season or anytime James McClean gets abused about possible education needed.

Of course it will and it's a huge promotion opportunity too - and rightly so. The question is around the hyperbole of the language above: as adored as big Jack was. It won't even come close.

You have threads here for nothing friendlys with a weak men's team at a particularly low ebb that have threads of multiple of the length given to this historic win.

The truth is the team didn't fill Tallaght the last time they played (and that was a big game for them) despite it being talked about as a sell out. The interest isn't that great despite what RTE, the IT and OTB might lead you to believe.

That isn't to besmirch or downplay the massive achievement - it's more of a commentary on the disconnect between media and reality.

what a dreadfiul interviewer , stoking it up . I'd love if she had quite rightly walked of air.

Who said it was their firs thought, stop exaggerating.

Biggest shame is that they needed to apologise for it, no idea why we seem to be embarrassed about our history and culture on this Island.

Fair play girls and fcuk the begrudgers!

Not the brightest bunch
