Slovakia v Republic of Ireland - 8th October 2020 - Euro 2020 Playoff Semi Final

[swinfordfc]

Ireland actually trying to win in extra time ....

[youngirish]

So, yes, we can play if indeed we want to. And yes, it has been our previous managers...

Its 0-0 playing a Slovakian team whose 2 best players are missing because of Covid. Hold your horses.

Not much use if we can't score.

If someone had manufactured these messages, fair play. 50/50 at this stage.

That sounds suspect at best. Why would the squad be declared in alphabetical order? And why would it be found out so late in the day?

The suggestion isn't that we can play football against poor opposition, its that's we can play football.
No, we aren't Barcelona, but tonight's performance has been a small step in a better direction. One swallow and all that, but this has been a lot easier to watch than the majority of games in the last decade.

You'd have to imagine Randolph would be good on penos.

[BonnieShels]

Jesus Darren!

[BonnieShels]

Here we go

[seanfhear]

Penalty shootout will end 1-0 the way it’s going!

More like 0-0

[NeverFeltBetter]

About to throw up. Randolph the better keeper I think. I hope.

Dan McDonnell on Twitter saying this is nonsense btw

Anyway, to penos!

[youngirish]

Randolph has been s***e here.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Hate to say it, but Randolph disappointed. Let himself down badly with the last Slovakian kick. Gutted.

I suspect Slovakia were practising penalties.

[BonnieShels]

The fury.

[passinginterest]

That’s so disappointing. Just lacked a cutting edge the entire time and it carried into the pens. Long term, might be no harm for Kenny not to have a major championships so soon in his reign.

[osarusan]

Ah boll!x.

Ah that's harsh. It was a proper Panenka that he had to completely readjust to and nearly got to.

The worst of it is the North just won in Bosnia...

[centre mid]

Had the chances to win it in 90 and 120. Pens are a lottery no shame in losing ot.

Doherty not convincing again. Time to ring the changes now, blood as many if the 21's as he thinks can step up and start afresh.

[Trequartista20]

Bitterly disappointing.

We need serious change now.

No holding back the younger lads.

Really promising signs with that performance, compared to the preceding 20 plus years of rubbish I’ve had to sit through. Augurs well for the future
