    If Kenny really trusts his players why does he wait so long before making substitutions. Especially when losing and nothing is happening

      Good example of the difficulty of Irish position there: Molumby encouraging more players to get forward and enact a defensive press, but when we do France break, should probably score, and Molumby gets booked for a cynical foul.

        I assume he wants to stay in the game as long as possible and then set things up for a rousing last 10-15. It’s not the worst thing in the world against a team as dangerous as France.

        As NFB says, it’s a difficult situation we’re in.
        I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

              Great run by McClean, doubt the shot would have heat the keeper. The chances are there...

                Fantastic entertainment.

                Wonderful effort by ireland and a lot of positives but need goal otherwise counts for nothing except the stereotypical “heroic Irish” effort but fall short

                  Ogbene has been outstanding.

                            Real shame. The point was there if we were just a bit more clinical. There's a good team in this group, but the debate will continue as to whether Kenny is the one to lead them.

                            Wish they would play like this more often. Too much "Heads held high" sentiment.

                              I don’t know what to say. Done fantastically all game, made one mistake and got punished. Deserved something from that. Gutted but also very proud. Players and manager can hold their heads up high after that. Still null points I suppose but that was a strong performance from us.

                                They were fantastic since going 1-0 down.

                                One sloppy error and we got punished.

                                Ogbene & Coleman both excellent,

                                You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
