Brilliant skill by Hoolahan to put him through again, awful by Walters again.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 12/11/2016, 5:05 PM

Oh hell yes. Proper smashed it home, and after the ref finally stopped buying what the Austrians were selling.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 12/11/2016, 5:06 PM

Fantastic by Meyler, Hoolahan and McClean.

Hoolahan has been immense in this game. What an impact in this half alone already.

Get in! Super goal! Ref finally made a good call on a dive by the Austrian. Push on or try hold?

**SkStu** · 12/11/2016, 5:06 PM

Woo hoo!!!!

What was it like?

**tricky_colour** · 12/11/2016, 5:06 PM

Goal!!!!!

**Colbert Report** · 12/11/2016, 5:08 PM

Great goal Stu. Meyler took possession in the left-back area, caught Austria on the break because they were looking for a free kick. He kicked it up to Hoolahan in the centre circle, who didn't dilly dally at all and hit McClean in full stride who dribbled up the right wing and tucked it away, great finish.

**Colbert Report** · 12/11/2016, 5:08 PM

Now to sit back and defend before conceding a late equaliser....

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 12/11/2016, 5:08 PM

Feic.

**passinginterest** · 12/11/2016, 5:09 PM

Ooh denied a second by the flag. This is really there to be won now.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 12/11/2016, 5:09 PM

So Hoolahan has now played a part in our last four goals and yet people still find things to complain about.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 12/11/2016, 5:13 PM

Duffy eats sh*t like Janko for breakfast.

He eats sh*t for breakfast?

**NeverFeltBetter** · 12/11/2016, 5:13 PM

Some great play this half, but just little mistakes messing it up: Walters offside, McClean not shooting first, Hoolahan losing the ball on the breakaway just now. The Austrians have looked rocked for the last few minutes and we haven't taken advantage. The team clearly isn't used to being in this position.

**passinginterest** · 12/11/2016, 5:14 PM

Meyler doing well, lovely ball over the top for that last chance. Really hope they can get a second and it's not the traditional late equaliser after sitting deeper and deeper for the last 15.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 12/11/2016, 5:16 PM

I think we are passing it out of defence too much. I never thought I'd say that, but that Hoolahan concession shows we just need to clear it sometimes.
