Great assist. Zidane like.
Can we please go out and get a young progressive manager...this guys bolt is shot,obvious at Villa and Sunderland and now here
Fair play to Denmark, I'd rather lose to a good team like this than a cheater like Henry.
Ireland should be proud, we did very well to beat Wales and get into the play-off.
Easy now. Hardly Ward's fault he was caught off balance.Quote:

Very shambolic ending here, from that bizarre sub, to the fourth goal to the way the formation has just fallen to pieces. This is the end for MON.
This is pathetic, I know he's just signed a contract but I'd like the FAI to seriously consider O'Neill's future.
This is embarrassing now. We imploded as soon as they scored. Eriksson deserves to be at a World Cup on this showing....
Would of bin a nice gaol
There's still time, the Danes seem to be wilting, the drugs must be wearing off.
He won't get anything like as much space at the World Cup. He'll be up against teams who might actually, heaven forbid, mark him.Quote:

Very much like that Germany game. MON might be kept on I suppose, but he won't live this down. Borrowed time.
Looks like Bob Geldof gave his "freedom of the city of Dublin" to Christian Erickson
Hopefully we can look back on this game in years to come and say that this was the watershed game when the Irish people said enough is enough and demanded an end to hoof ball. And it became the beginning of a brand of proper football.Quote:

Of course they're not fit. They played in a match on Friday where they had 28% possession. You chase the ball for ninety minutes and you will tire out.
Fans leaving before full time when we are losing are not real fans
Really time to invest in young blood,even if they are playing reserve ball or lower division ball...guys with potential and actually have a style of play marrying our physical characteristics with a little bit of organisation,clearly this long ball stuff (poorly executed) does not suit the players we have
Statement from FAI:
In Protest of Russia's obvious meddling in the US election, we have decided our participation in the World Cup this coming summer would be inappropriate. We have chosen to make this clear at this exact time.
Maybe we need another report?
Worst and most embarrassing performance in memory. An absolute shambles. Atrocious all round.:mad:
This is worse than Staunton in Cyprus.
Quite the post-mortem needed. And a lot of change. What a mess.
Sadly I rest my case, I did call this result in an earlier post on here.
Poor Irish team/squad, the likes of Clark, Christie are an embarrassment to international football.
ONeill is clueless tactically and is a spent force.
Totally outclassed and out thought!
Oh for the days of Keane, Duff, Dunne, St Ledger, OShea......
We were favourites to top the group at one stage. What happened?
When Bendtner gets on the scoresheet, you know you deserve to lose.
Puke from start to finish, chronic defending, breezed past in midfield, impotent up front. Truly awful, we'd no business at the World Cup anyway. Really poor qualifying campaign.
The good news anyway is MON and Keane will lead us into the Euro 2020 qualifiers.
Like attempting an autopsy on the guy who was sitting on the bomb
Maybe he'll do the honourable thing...
I thought it was brave at the time but that double sub at half time was an absolute disaster.
Genuinely feel bad for Wales, they would have given a better account of themselves
Totally a different team without Coleman. We just are not deep enough for him to miss significant time. Wales have to be ruing Cardiff. They would have had a much better chance in retrospect. Sorry, Wales!
Felt sorry for McClean there.
Ah here, Dunphy. Denmark are a good side now. They were rubbish on Saturday according to him.
Me too, and although Tony O'D isn't liked much on here, I thought he did well to just let him leave the interview when he did.Quote:

Isn't pundit the easiest job in the world? Talk about all the angles of things in life you would never have the nuts to play yourself or call out before you watched it..Quote:

Ireland, try to learn some lessons from IcelandQuote:

Denmark have spent 15 years under Morten Olsen developing a common system and tactical approach at all levels. They have the same population as us and their players play at a similar level. Some even in the Danish and Norwegian league. But they have a plan. They know how to pass.
We have an FAI with no national development plan and an international team that lurches from one match to the next, relying only on passion and desire.
Everything wrong with Irish football got exposed tonight. We can continue to ignore it, or we can use this as an opportunity to do something about it.
How illuminating. Are we now worse than Malta and Lichtenstein? I knew things were bad but thank you for putting Ireland where they belong in Europe, at the bottom. That really helps me have an overall perspective on this evening's proceedings.Quote:
