Never a penalty in the first place, the var replay got stuck in some irrelevant loop.
When was our last penalty save in competition, V Cyprus decades ago?

Penalties to Shay Given were like Cross’s to Vampires ! !

Portugal have been a little frantic since the drama, long may that continue. The longer they go without scoring the more frustrated they are liable to get.

Can Connolly hold onto the ball at all

**the 12 th man** · 01/09/2021, 7:08 PM

Reckless tackle by JH but never a peno.

**geysir** · 01/09/2021, 7:08 PM

Connolly will eventually put Pepe on his backside.

If it was at the other end it would have been ruled out. Cracking save though. Well done Bazunu.

That was one of the most frustrating attacks I've ever watched Ireland undertake. It was like Portugal were playing bad deliberately to help us out, and we messed it up spectacularly anyway.

He didn't have much of a choice, was put into a hopeless situation

**brine3** · 01/09/2021, 7:17 PM

O'Shea looks crocked. Could be a bad injury...

**paul_oshea** · 01/09/2021, 7:17 PM

Ciaran Clark would be good on the bench now

**brine3** · 01/09/2021, 7:21 PM

Replay on O'Shea tackle was stomach turning

**Northsider** · 01/09/2021, 7:22 PM

Thankfully that O'Shea doesn't look as bad as it could have been. Bazunu has been outstanding.

Ireland playing with 9 men and the embarrassment that is Hendrick.
Great save from Gav, but it's what you expect from him. Coleman is a quiet leader but he's a leader nonetheless

Hendrick has been alright
