Have to say that was one of the most stupid calls from a ref I have ever seen, given it is mm in the replay and screen grabs, how could a ref make the call in real time. Absolutely mind boggling stupid. Young lad did well not to box him in the jaw.

Getting spanked on the pitch

Shite performance - albeit with a skeleton squad. France never got out of 1st gear really - i'm sure they are disappointed today.

Highlight of the night was Declan Rice attempting to belt out Amhrán na bhFiann. Keep your eye on him at the USA friendly.

Ireland are so poor and little top players coming through from the top leagues. MON appears to be happy to sit back and hold teams and try to score the odd goal on the break.

Final appearance tonight for John O'Shea, he was a goodun...

Not perfect but great to see Ireland pass the ball around. Rice and o dowda are nice footballers.

Didn't see it. When was the last time a League of Ireland player scored for Ireland?

Shamrock Rovers' Ray Treacy in 1978 according to Twitter.

What was the deal with the rainbow coloured numbers on the shirts? Has George or Bungle passed away?

If i was lenihan i would be raging. The guy stole his goal. It reminded me of David Nugent when like a twat he poked in jermain defoes effort as it was about to cross the line. Its also risky because nani did something similar to Ronaldo a few years back. Ronaldo chips the keeper for what would be a sublime goal only for nani to steal it and then for the goal to be disallowed because nani was offside

Think that's very harsh. Ball was coming at him quickly, instinct took over. Also he may not be fully aware of where he was standing relative to the goals. I thought he played quite well too for a bit making a big step up. It was great to see arter, Rice, o dowda trying some passes and flair in the last 15 mins instead of hoofing it. More chances came from that than in the 1st half where the bombed ball at walters
