Mick has had a word...we’ve actually passed the ball on the ground!!

Corner!
Would like to see Hourihane on. If only for his set piece delivery.
Look at us, bossing a game for once. Shame that ball fell to Egan and not Connolly.
Lichsteiner and his antics will get somebody sent off. Particularly with a soft ref like this one.
Jaysus that was close. That would have been curtains.
I know Coleman is captain, but he’s been nearly as big a liability as McClean in this game. Just losing the ball in dangerous positions or giving it away all the time.
Losing Duffy for the Denmark game is huge. Hopefully he can score two in the next twenty five minutes!
Have we lost him?
They said at the start that it was 3 yellows was a ban, and only one Swiss was at risk
The "Misses Next Game" thing flashed?

Penalty.
I remember now why I was delighted to see back of McCarthy last time
Well done Randolph.
This pitch is reminding me of the Heysel Stadium in 97
We're climbing the North face now.
What a save.
Gibraltar 2-2 Georgia.
Maybe Gibraltar and Georgia will save our bacon?
At some point we will have to consider Randolph in the same breath as Bonner and Given, if we aren't already.
Gibraltar have come from 2-0 down against Georgia at home to equalise.
Puts Saturday's performance in perspective a bit
Edit - Georgia 3-2 up now
Are Hendrick and McClean going to get 90minutes in this game? Says it all.
I know Whelan is not the most mobile at the best of times, but he can’t move at all at this stage, surely need a sub.
Time to shove Duffy up front
Hamilton just clarified the graphic was wrong. 3 yellows it is.Quote:

Did anyone see a replay of the penalty incident?
Hogan has done ok since he came on.
Corner!
Mick McCarthy is an idiot?Quote:

You have to wonder what he is watching at times.
Nations League play off it is then....
No actually.Quote:

Thought the defence was outstanding at times. And it's just as well because we'd be shipping some utter hammerings if we couldn't defend
Why did we start and finish that game like we had something to lose? Feels like we waved the white flag as soon as the team was picked, which is a shame cause the Swiss played almost at our level. Fairly pathetic.
Best explanation I can think ofQuote:

The elements of that performance that it was good to see are sadly a day late and a dollar short.
Lost for words,so many players not up to it..Glen Whelan our MOM according to RTE :eek:..How do Hendrick and McClean get away it.
Edit MOM changed to Randolph.
Not nearly as annoyed as Saturday.Least we set out to try to win,Hendrick got on the ball and tried to make things happen but was forced too deep, Stevens was good, Egan, Duffy and Randolph exceptional. McLean was woeful again and it seemed like Coleman was on a mission to get sent off. I dunno, it’s not the worst thing in the world to have one big chance to do one on the Danes, the arrogant so and so’s. The stadium will be hopping and if we play like that we’ll have a shot.
