Yes, this is clearly the turning point in Irish football history.
The fact is that neither Rico with his selection nor the players with their performance did themselves an awful lot of justice.
Can't believe he even contemplated making Madden the lone frontman - he was physically dominated the whole night, while Sheppard caused them problems the whole time he was on.
Too many silly errors, trying to overplay when a simple pass was on (2 goals) and no marking on a corner (1). Couldn't do much about the goals on the break as at least we were being positive, but overall I think a lot of the players will be kicking themselves.
Mulcahy's goal was fantastic though. The man is a machine.
