FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

We do it all the time sit back and wait for the inevitable ffs

I was just about to say I hope Georgia score because the Irish are absolutely disgraceful, no ambition whatsoever, they are like Tyrone, they are killing the game of football with negativity.

How can professional players not be able to string five passes in a row?

Dublin would give this crowd a better fight of it, this is absolutely awful to watch.

Ireland doing a Tyrone here...

Serbia strolling in their match all the more important now we win this

Sure it's deja Vu watching this Ireland team.
Every time they score they sit back and try to hang on.
And very time the same thing happens - they concede.
You can't just hoof the ball away & invite the opposition onto you and hope not to concede.
9 times out of 10 a mistake will be made and you'll concede.
That's as true in Sunday league soccer as international.
Ireland don't even attempt to play passing football.
That is down to the manager.
The manager imposes his style of football on a team.
He has to demand that they get on the ball and pass it around.
They never do it so he obviously doesn't have this philosophy.
Look at Wales - they have Bale who is class & Ramsey also very good.
The rest are no better or worse than most of the Ireland team - yet they play attractive football every game.

Absolute dung, very lucky to be level.

The players might not be great but they still play at a high level which makes you wander how the feck they are incapable of passing and holding onto the ball

Before kick off i joked about the performance but alas we are getting are usual bag of nerves sh1te. It really is unwatchable on so many levels.

[Mayo4Sam]

Glenn Whelan and Shane Duffy, they're brutal and just hoof the thing

They are instructed to hoof it and run after it. Not allowed to play. It's the o neill way

[Syferus]

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

[From the Bunker]

I'm so wore out watching that I cannot type anymore.

Well Ireland get themselves in a great qualifying position and then choke. Thst away Austria victory wasted now. They had 30 mins against 10 man Wales. They then deserved to lose to austria at home and lets be honest deserved to lose tonight. They never learn same shit every time. Absolute garbage. Jeez we can only hope for a 0-0 in dublin against the serbs and hopefully wales austria is a drsw tonight. Oneil and the team need a kick up the ass big time for that shite

[mrdeeds]

Worst Irish performance I've ever seen. Send the Dundalk team. At least they pass to each other.

hugely frustrating to watch. It was a flashback to the 80s. Even at that mcgeady had a half chance at the end - would have been daylight robbery though. Need to win on tuesday now but hard to see how that's even possible
