Who sets the prices for these matches? Lots of empty seats tonight. Was going to take the wee fella down for the wales game on tuesday but then I seen it was 70 euro for adult ticket and 20 for an u16 in the lower level and I quickly changed my mind. Ireland are hard to watch at the best of times without being ripped off for the privilege.
We're always quick to bash the gaa but the 5euro ticket for u16s in croke park even up to and including all ireland semis is brilliant value compared to other sports.

Every youngfella who plays the game is told to play to the whistle. Don't stop playing until you hear it. The only thing wrong with what Hendrick did was he wasted a glorious chance.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

In fairness you'd want more money than sense to pay anything to watch this rubbish. No attempt to pass the ball out, no flair, no one touch. And Denmark only slightly better.

That's only true if he didn't realize what was taking place if he did it's a cnuts trick.

Better tonight but still some awful crap being played against an equally poor team

It seems to be asymmetric. If they play OK they can draw but if they don't they get hammered.

No goalscorers. A draw is always the most likely result from ireland.

I do t know, it was woeful. Denmark ball retention is miles ahead of ours, they surely had 70% possession in 2nd half. Even when we pass it we end up going back to the keeper. Robinson added a bit of attacking when he came on. The players aren't there but at the same time they are not being set up to even try and play

A season ticket is the best value for you. €110 to renew for 5 games. Kids price is €45. For the Denmark game they were giving free tickets away to every kids team that they could that were affiliated to FAI in order to get more bums on seats

i was at the game on saturday and by god it was a boring experience. Ive seen many a poor game this past while but that was the worst. we are devoid of any attacking presence at all in the team yet we persist with playing shane long who doesnt look like he will ever score again. Good at holding the ball up but whats the point when the rest of the team are so far off him.
hurl like f**k boi!

Looks like having a shit squad is finally catching up with Michael O'Neill also.

You can only rely on luck for so long.
