Great finish, used Christie as a shield to perfection.

I certainly was not going to back us at 8/11.
Christie and Keogh see Duffy's mistake and raise him.
Watching on a fairly rubbish stream, thought that was a foul on Meyler but the picture quality ain't great and if it wasn't a foul it was just awful play.
Stephen Quinn must be laughing away to himself. Is Jeff Hendrick even on? Martin O'Neill's job gets easier by the second.
McGeady looks like a player who's never played 11 a side football before and Meyler is just an irrelevance, Hendrick and Gibson have been sloppy too. If Darly Murphy offers more than Kevin Doyle the I give up too.
If only Glenn was there.
Great play by Christie. We're seeing the good and bad of him.
I thought there was a foul in the BLR half prior to the goal but there was probably a foul by Murphy just before it. Shocking 10 minute spell there. Murphy is terrible.
By the way. We get it Tricky, you gamble. Well done.
Any streams?
Our right back is our best attacking player!
Doyle>Murphy
Delaney>Keogh
O'Kane>Gibson
Hayes/Pilkington>McGeady
Referee is dodgy as f*ck.
Kin hell Christie...
More questions than answers tonight.
I was using the bookmakers price as part of a literary construct, ie essential it was not about gambling at all, more of a metaphor.Quote:

OMG Murphy is so dreadful.
Murphy did the exact same thing versus Scotland when he kicked the ball forward anr straight into them.he doesn't have the touch.what is O'Neill at. Doyle is 20 times the player
Dozy Derry donkey.
That could be applied to a few
Which team here is going to the Euros?
One wonders how Padraig Amond would fare in this match.
McGeady, Murphy, Gibson and maybe some others are answering O'Neill's question with a fairly firm no so far...Quote:

McGeady has been utterly anonymous. Feel for Hayes and Pilkington.
Don't like McClean can see him getting worse and worse as the game goes on.its rhe kind of game he will get more frustrated and more frustrating to watch.
Utterly crap touch by McGeady..
I hear you but I worry that they are not the question...Quote:

I hear you. This is abject. But, the players look do disjointed and completely out of sync that it strikes me as down to the occasion rather than something chronic.Quote:

It may also be Cork's fault, still up for debate.
Reality check re: Christie tonight.
Useful going forward but a liability in defense.
Ward has been solid.
Where is Murphy he doesn't seem to be in the box and he doesn't seem to be supporting play
Most of them are jogging around at half pace. Nothing to worry about. This is just about fitness.
Given looks ropey though. I fear he might not be up to this any more.
I think Gibson is doing ok actually best of a bad bunch of midifielders
Gibson linking up the play for Belarus.
I can't defend Murphy anymore. I have been so patient with him but that is as terrible a striker's performance I have seen in a long time.
In fairness, it is his first game in two months.
For those of you who didn't get to see or haven't seen that half I'll try and sum it up for ye in as few words as possible.
****e.
Apologies if this has already been posted, but I haven't seen it yet: Arter is officially out.
Stephen Quinn appears much too sound a guy to feel this way but, you know, in a strictly Euro 2016 POV this is turning into a good night...
Murphy's best moment was when he passed the ball to McClean with his back.
