FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

Ireland are the one team anyone with a serious heart condition can watch safely, there's no danger of any excitement.

Quite the opposite the stress of watching Ireland play so badly is almost certainly bad for your health.

Stress? It was basically two sides hoofing the ball up the field like five year-olds in the second half. It was amusing more than stressful.

It'd have taken either side having a player with skill to change the seemingly inevitable draw. First half we were brutal but we returned to our roots in the second half and channeled Big Jack and had the keeper and center backs lump the ball up to the centre forward and they were to made look as ordinary as we are.

Oh Christ. Tony and Martin have just went full Marty-Cody..

Your lucky you can take it in your stride. I reckon I age a few years with every match surprised the neighbours hadnt called the police after 90 mins of constant swearing at the TV. Bring back Trap all is forgiven lol

Jaysus harsh on Georgia to say they were hoofing it in fairness.
Christ of almighty, I have been to and watched, some awful tripe but that was the worst. Was there a single pass or an attempt to keep the ball for more than ten seconds?!

Whelan was there as a shield and yet their midfielders seemed to never be under pressure and had time on the ball.
People slating Harry Arter when the lad can keep the ball as long as the others actually slide it five yards to him and don't just lump it up. Brady also seemed to be bypassed so what can they do.
Long was given nothing. I am not saying we are Brazil 1970 but we can surely play a few sideways balls and settle before we lump it.

Don't know how Austria haven't scored yet

[T Fearon]

Brutal but what do you expect with the Burnley side mainly

Burnley would stuff georgia. Its the mentality with the irish team. Even Arter who can play cant pass in a green shirt. Wales now 1 up so bad day just got worse

I can definitely see us throwing away the play off spot at this stage. We could easily get beat on Tuesday night. The Welsh look like they're on a mission tonight and they play Moldova next. If we lose v Serbia and the Welsh beat Moldova they'll be on 14 points and we'll be on 13. They play Georgia away the night we play Moldova at home before our final game in Wales.

After that dung today I'd only be confident of picking up points v Moldova.

Not good at all and basically our only good result against austria has been matched by serbia and wales. Austria are out so will likely roll over for serbia. Today could be the beginning of the end for O'Neill. We have done a Scotland

[T Fearon]

Wales set for maximum points away to Moldova,Georgia and home against Ireland,which will guarantee at least second place.

[omagh_gael]

The tactics today were utterly baffling, complete bollix. The Welsh looked deadly against Austria and should have put 4 past them. We bagged a jammy draw against them in Dublin.

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Just to add second in the group might not even get us into the playoffs.

Shame the welsh game wasnt on  before our game to show the irish players how to play. Austria were good in the first half and wales were fantastc in the second. We were great for the first 3 minutes lol
