I saw Ampadu mouthing to McClean after he nicked Roberts on the heel. He left off some roar there too.
I love McClean, but that should be a ten match ban. Shocking tackle. The flicking of the finger into the guy's ear afterwards was embarrassing.

McClean is a moron plain and simple
What? That's nonsense. He was a bit loose, sure, but he pulled out of it and barely made contact. The first yellow was nonsense, the second was harsh, and the idea of a ten match ban is just bizarre tbhOriginally Posted by Colbert Report
It looked bad in real time, but on replay it wasn't even a yellow
What was up with flicking his finger in the guy's ear when he was lying prone on the ground? That's assault, no place in the game for that. What is he, ten years old?
Cullen in now. This must be very frustrating for Byrne. Its not as if Hendrick or Hourihane are playing too well to be withdrawn.
McClean shouldn't be lunging in for a ball like that when already on a card
Ah assault me hole. Silly maybe, but the Welsh fella's a big boy.
Maybe he's looked crap in training
Maybe a half yellow.
will we ever score a goal again?
Same thing sprung to mind for me. Must have been really crap.
If someone did that to me in a pub league, I'd tell them to cop themselves on. This guy is supposed to be a professional football player. There is no excuse for behavior like that.
Welsh Irish fella in fact. And he screamed loud enough to be heard in Derry. Sickening.
No sign of Byrne?
Him and two keepers left on bench?
That was one of the worst matches I've seen in years. We could have played all day without scoring a goal.
Positives We didn't concede.
Negatives: Very little creativity,
no real bite or spark,
very little intensity,
poor set pieces
poor crosses until Long went off(bar that 1 chance which he should have scored)
Too many passengers
Another game and no goal.
390 mins and only one goal(from a Duffy set piece).
Mick and Danny on the commentary called out the passing and not trying to be more quick with getting the ball forward. playing players that suit a system but not adapting the system. Playing a game that suits the players when certain players are gone off. Looked good when we tried to hit longer balls taking out one line of their midfield.
We seem to have removed any scoring ability from set pieces or crosses like we did under previous regimes, we seem to have spent all the time focusing on passing and possession, mainly in our own half, for some false aspirations of playing a brand of football that probably wont make a massive difference to our overall chances of qualifications. We've thrown everything into this one thing and neglected the bigger picture. We're too small a nation to throw away chances of qualifications, we should always remember that. WCq is more difficult than ever, it will require a massive slice of luck, a very good draw, and then probably some, unless we managed to unearth 5 class players in the next few years of course...
I feel a bit deflated first time after the start of a managers reign to be honest. But its ok, because we have loads of possession though! Doesnt matter if its in our own half, of course, thats not relevant.

That's fair. So why are you saying he should get a ten match ban instead?
2 - Bulgaria and Finland.
It's very hard to evaluate these games with 7 players out due to covid and no crowds at the game
