"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
0-0 good result but goin by the vidiprinter the players would be right to feel a wee bit disappointed not to have snatched it. Sounded like we created a few chances. But 0-0 away to France ye would have taken that result before the game.
Excellent result, as good as any we have ever achieved away from home. With the Swiss and Israelis also dropping points it is very even with our 2 most difficult matches over with. The boys rose to the occassion and did the business - it really helped that both Keanes & DUff were fully match fit this time around.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I like your quote,it's all true!
Should have won it, but great performance. Sets us up nicely for the remainder. A good win over the Faroes on wednesday to boost our goal diff will do the world of good.
Ratings:
Given: 2 great saves. didnt have much to do, but did what he had to do well 8
O Shea: Out of position for most of the match. Very poor. Unlucky with his chance. I reckon he didnt think it would come to him. 5
O Brien : Partnership with Cunningham developing nicely. Did nada wrong. 7
Cunningham: Marshalled his defence very well 7
Carr: Excellent performance both defensively and attacking. Certainly made amends for his poor showing against the Swiss 8
Duff: Did well, but had to cover for O Shea too often. Didnt do anything wrong though 7
Keane: Quiet but effective 6
Kilbane: Not international class my hole. Absolutely outstanding this evening. Tacking and distribution top class. MOTM 9
Finnan: best game yet for ireland. 2nd best irish player tonight 8
Keane: No service, but didnt forrage enough. By his standards - poor 5
Morrison: Seemed to frighten the life out of that french Centre Half (Givet?). Ireland felt his loss 7
Sub:
Reid: Great display, as he was in an unusual role. 7
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
Did I watch a different O`Shea tonight or something?
His best performance in an Ireland shirt by a distance.

I thought O Shea played a lot better as well. The programmes sandwhiches either side of the game were brilliant.
I reckon Kerr is a great manager
