Courtney Brosnan saves brilliantly from the penalty spot
Delighted for her.. a bad mistake by Courtney in the game v Ukraine probably cost Ireland a spot in the Euros in England.. hopefully that'll prove decisive by the end

Portugal 3-1 up.. If Ireland win in normal or extra time they go through
Since the penalty Ireland had by far the better chances. Once they started getting McCabe on the ball more they had the Scots in trouble. The long throw is absolutely lethal, just unlucky not to get a slight touch on the one that went in direct.
Mad seeing one of the Irish players letting a ball roll out for a throw, when there was plenty time to take it on and whip a cross into the box..
The long throw is lethal...
Brilliant pass and goal.
What a finish from Barrett. Probably backs to the wall now. Pauw is a very negative coach. Hopefully they can hold on and maybe get another on the break.
Brilliant! Hang on for another 20 or so minutes. What a save right there from Brosnan
Will someone please kick the crap out of Hamiliton.. he thinks a draw here puts Ireland through to a play off.. they still have to wi
But go on Ireland.. nerves shredded here
TBF, she did bring Barrett on when the lazy option would have been to shore up midfield ...Quote:

I think she's been very lucky to have arrived with a crop of players way better than any we've had before. I don't rate her coaching at all. The mess made of the last Euro campaign lingers.Quote:

They've done it!
Bull, the team she inherited were bottom or at best, middle 3rd seed pot in Europe. Now the only team to win away in all the WC playoffs.Quote:

Ditto! We didn't play as well as we can, but we win again. I think that's 7 in 8 now. I hope we are based in Oz for the WC, will definitely get to some of the games.Quote:
