You did in me ******
A real sickener.
Of course.
Ah... :(
**** off ref
All that effort, and nothing. I hate this ****ing game sometimes.
Sick. Sick. Sick. Like the good old days!!
**** **** ****
Ronaldo’s head is not gone !
So unlucky.
Kenny's cursed. He really is. They play like that and get nothing.
He did the same trick in the first half. Five minutes added time became six.
obvio que el arbitro iba a robar ....desastre ese arbitro .....kenny la unica falla ,,,mete a los cambios muy tarde...
I did but I was wrong.Quote:

Ah jaysus...I had just reconciled myself to the fact that despite the late equaliser it was still an excellent result...
This is why Ronaldo is the best of his generation, arguably. He was rubbish for 88 minutes, and scores two goals to rescue the team.
We're back to "positives", but this is a devastating last minute reverse and it's going to gut those players for the next few games.
Don't want to hear whinging about the injury time either, there was a pause for a VAR check and he was hardly going to blow with Portugal on the ball next to the Irish box.
Disgusting performance from the officials - terrific performance from Ireland. Shouldnt be hard to motivate the players for the next 2
te dije a vos que el arbitro era un delincuente.. shame on uefaQuote:

Let's see how the Azeri game goes now. That was always the key of the three. They lost to Luxembourg tonight; we need to build on this
The reality is we had 30% possession we looked like scoring when we countered them but we sat in and hope to defend and well everyone knows what Ronaldo can do.
The performance means nothing if they don't get 6 points from the next two regardless.
Idah was very good tonight most of the players were. Surely someone should have learnt to man mark Ronaldo in the box after the first one
Too many mistakes made late on when legs were gone.
Never seen a ref so happy to see a team win. Disgusting
Could Kenny have made more changes sooner to protect tired legs ?
Sorry, but you make your own luck in this game. Kenny as a manager is just not convincing on the sidelines.
Doherty was gone from about 60 mins but nothing was done. Hendrick did little or nothing. No idea why McCLean was brought on. He is finished.
Team played really by the way and did not deserve to lose.
His subs were poor I think and seemed too late.Quote:

si, hermano, Kenny hizo los cambios very very lateQuote:
