Republic of Ireland V Gibraltar - Saturday, 11th October 2014 - Euro 2016 Qualifier

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Remember the time the Man Utd players wanted Forlan to take a penalty but Roy Keane insisted on Van Nistelrooy? Well Roy is present again. It's more important for Robbie to keep knocking them in than Hoolahan anyway. You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this kind of nonsense.

Calm down. I said it was a minor gripe. It's a farce of a match. He's going to get a hat-trick anyway. It's just as important for other players on the pitch to get goals any way they come, seeing as there is a big issue being made about the spread of goals being at a premium. It's not like either will be playing against Germany (assuming logic) so I don't see why it's hugely important whether Robbie nets 2 goals.. 4 goals.. 6 goals.

Agree Hoolahan and McClean excellent. Hopefully one of them get the goal they deserve by FT.

They seem to be worse than Andorra and San Marino. Their first touch is possibly worse than mine, and are totally naive tactically. Ireland is whether playing terribly or not giving a **** anymore, otherwise would easily have been 10+

[NeverFeltBetter]

I suppose that's just because they haven't had proper competitive football before. Nice easy target though, getting to the same level as Andorra.

I heard commentary team bust out the "Lowest seeds should have another competition" idea, which is practically an old chestnut by now. I don't even know how you could make that work within UEFA qualifying, although maybe the Nations League idea will basically do for that.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Jeez, you'd think they could have held their shape for more than 40 seconds.

[DeLorean]

Unselfish by Robbie, it's all about doing the right thing at the right time.

[NeverFeltBetter]

This is comical stuff altogether.

[tricky_colour]

Ha ha the keeper is more effective than 3 of our strikers combined.

[NeverFeltBetter]

I would never dream of suggesting Ireland should let up, but this is getting very sad.

[tricky_colour]

McClean on a hatrick will be his best chance ever of getting one

[BonnieShels]

We need 7 at least. Then let up.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Come on bring Stokes & Murphy off the bench. They'll never have a better chance to open their Intl. accounts.

[BonnieShels]

There's Hoolahans goal TOWK.

[DeLorean]

Let up my arse, I've never seen us score more than five so I've no morals whatsoever... More, more, more.

The killer third quarter seems to be the Gibraltarian's Achilles' heel

[tricky_colour]

Nice goal pick of the bunch

[NeverFeltBetter]

Gibraltar keeper just cannot take a ball first time.

Nice goal pick of the bunch


We could be on for double figurers, if Mcgeady sharpens up.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Great reactions by Forde in fairness, especially considering he had literally nothing else to prepare him for it over the course of the match.

[NeverFeltBetter]

David Forde saves with his face to spare Irish defence some blushes.

This....

35'123 in attendance say FAI. Way more than I thought.
