If you've watched Everton in the last couple of seasons then you'll recognise the Seamus Coleman of today. Probably the 1st time he's gotten behind to the byline this many times for Ireland. You'll also recognise his crossing style. Hits the 1st man a lot, likes low crosses across the 6 yard box. Seems to be a quantity not quality attitude. Can see him getting an assist by the end of the game.
Was always gonna be the big man!:ball::ball::ball:
But he was offside....

I do ****ing believe it.
FIFA/UEFA can give them 5 million euros if it stays 1 nil
Some of the best football out of them in years. Goal was a mile offside but earned it on the balance of play. Hope they can keep the tempo up and McCarthy and Whelan can avoid a second yellow. Game is made for the pace of long and McLean in the last 20 if the Scots are trying to press.
Agree. 1 up and with a team that can only be improved upon late in the game.
This is where my Irish pessism will come in for me. Shane Long will come on deservedly and can only improve things. If MON brings on Keano or McGeady because of some misplaced loyalty then we could lose shape. McCarthy and Whelan will be on eggshells for 45 mins, that's our biggest danger right now. Broonie will be in their faces.Quote:

I'm a bit worried we haven't enough experience of winning games from these positions. The lads need to keep their heads, believe in themselves and get a bit of luck.
**** **** ****
big sweaty ball sack
Some optimism: they don't have the pressure of a whole 45 minutes in the lead now.
In off the statue.
Unlucky.
We should shift it somewhere safer.
Jocks rolling around doing Busquet impressions is starting to do my nut in.
That's an excellent save from Given
"Watching" this on the plane. Nerves are gone.
Attack the fupping ball Murphy!
McClean on is a good move I think. Maybe time for Long? Come on Ireland!!!
Brady puts in a great cross, after several bad corners, so he has found his form, but the hendrick takes the next corner???
Keane for Hoolahan is a good idea? This remind anyone of the Swiss match at home under Kerr?
Pinned in our own half
Well that was a ****e 2nd half. Never looked like losing but never looked like winning either. 3rd is the best we can hope for.
Early equaliser killed us, and screwed up whatever plan we had for the half - we looked like we didn't have a plan after that.
We never regained the energy and superiority we had in the first. It was fairly level throughout the half - neither team did much.
The last 10 minutes were woeful. When we really needed quick attacking play, we were ponderously passing round the back.
We are out.
Pretty sickening. Good to see some better football but concede a horrible goal and that's that.
I was surprised to see Hoolahan come off - with Keane making his intelligent runs and Long's pace, I thought we could have used him.
Not that we deserved to win but we could have won with a bit of luck. Small margins. Two mediocre teams, Scots appreciated space and the ball better. O'Neill seems to believe that all we have is huff and puff, so all we get is huff and puff. If huff and puff is all we can deliver then I can manage that team. Lads, play hard, show some passion, get the ball in the box. Simple. I'd do it for 100k.
Exactly, but O'Neill had given up on anything other than some kind of flick on or muscular goal by that stage. Spoofer.Quote:
