    Hope this is the end for MO’N. Hammered in our last 2 competitive games and look clueless with the ball.

    Each time we create a decent chance they just go up the other end and produce a clinical finish.

    This is shocking,and will probably get worse. The positioning is just dreadful, getting pulled all over the place so easily.

    From the very start, the team looked like they just expected to get beaten.

    Ward needs to learn how to close down. It’s a useful skill if you are a defender.

    It's a bit like watching an 11 a side Astro league team, a load of lads who don't really know each other but are willing to run around and give it a go, no shape and when it starts going wrong nobody really has a clue how to fix it.

    It's only a mickey mouse competition anyway, I am surprised Wales are taking it seriously.

    It's disappointing to see them get punished so badly but in a way it may be for the best. Some said the Denmark result was a freak but really something needs to change for sure. I remember years ago players saying Martin was not good on tactics but more of a motivator. With the players we have we definitely now need a tactical genius . .

    Ps. Good hustle for the goal

    These are the cracks that have been papered over for three last few years.

    I fear this is the new normal now

    The good news is our next game is against amateurs and futsal players. Which should help us keep the score down a bit.
    Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.

    I.dont think it has to be. It's a new team I think it's time for a new manager. I definitely believe these guys are capable of better than this. I don't think we would suddenly thrash Wales but there's a lot of middle ground here.

    It doesn't have to be, sure

    And there's injuries.

    But this - and the Denmark game - are results which were long overdue. I think they'll be more common now too.

    We're really poor

    I imagine there is going to world war 3 in the Irish press over the next 72 hours but at the end of the day Wales are able to field players who earn their wages at clubs like Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs. Unless something drastic happens at grassroots level this is going to be the norm.

    Let’s be honest this is a PL team against a Championship side. The only way we could have nicked a point was how we played last year against them.

    The players are trying to play. It hasn’t been hoofball tonight and some passages have been decent. Robinson could have had 2 goals (like what I’ve seen) and Wales have scored 4 quality goals. Not playing a holding midfielder has not helped matters. Centre mid has been garbage.

    youve been saying this for as long as i remember.... bound to be right eventually given our playing resources. during the 3 yrs you refer to we have had impressive wins against italy, germany, bosnia, wales and austria...... we'll be back
