The only decent cross the whole night was for the offside goal Duffy scored.

Bring back Big Mick.

How can a country that was pretty much razed to the ground still presumably have better footballing structures and produce much technically superior players?

[Fat Angry Motorist]

More shite. O Neill and Keane haven't a clue and the players are brutal - a bad combination

[Itchy]

They tried to play just not as good as Serbia. Problem is why didn't they play like that in games where the didn't face as good a team as Serbia.

Does the country have many playing Gaelic Football?

We were better than Serbia, though. Desperately unlucky not to get a draw. Wales game is pretty much a playoff now.

[T Fearon]

This Ireland has not one single player of decent international calibre

Nailed it why were the previous 3 performances so shit. O'Neill just threw away any hard work/luck gained over the first few matches.

Wales are away to Georgia. That is a sticky game for them before they meet us!

Would be nice to think they'd drop points but even a draw for them there and a draw in Cardiffwould leave them ahead on goal difference, wouldn't it?

Yes we played better than them but they have top quality players around the pitch that can create a bit of magic and they did. We created no clear chance at all.

[Tony Baloney]

Only one team in Ireland.

Either way we will need 6 points to ensure we aren't the 9th best runner up

Just not enough up front to create chances of real merit. The crosses were terrible all night, not beating first man or looking over the last player at the back. The most frustrating thing is the pressing/passing game should have been used against the weaker teams and Wales/Austria at home.
