jock strap Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The goal came from a keepers kick ! If that's not long ball then wtf is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 He is a long ball merchant That looks like he'll probably qualify automatically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Fair dues to them. It's not pretty to watch a bit like watching us, but it's effective. They defend much better than we do as well. Another key thing about Ireland and under Trap too. They CAN win away, we cannot. They win in Armenia, Georgia, Macedonia (although we did last campaign), whilst we do not. Credit to the Irish and good luck in the Euros/Playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 No point in blaming him for what he is good at when our own shortcomings are based around a draw being a good result. Bottom line is we are not even good enough to get to a third place finish to secure a play-off place to be one of the top 24 in Europe. Our mentality is in serious need of repair. And has been for the entirety of this century so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briany Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Irish here, but sorry the Scottish couldn't hold on to the win, mainly for reasons related to Ireland's chances, but it wouldn't have hurt to have had the chance for both sets of fans in France.

Rossy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Fair play to Ireland for getting 4 points off Germany, but they're still a shite football team. I desperately hope that Poland beat them and that they get turfed out in the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when we used to qualify we could go to difficult places and grind out points; and we hardly ever got beat at home. We seem to have completely lost the ability to do that now, which is we will be staying at home - again.

Far too much honesty and respect for this board. Please leave All the best if/when you fully qualify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitre Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 As much as I don't like O'Neill at all and his brand of "football" you have to give him and the Irish immense credit For years (even before MO'N) they have fought til the death and played to their strengths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilser Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Absolutely dreadful football team, but they're resilient. They're more likely to score a last minute equaliser than concede one. The thought of that utter cockwomble Martin O'Neill being all over the TV next summer makes me nauseous - having said that, if he's managing a side in the finals he at least can't be a pundit, so on that basis only; C'mon Ireland.

Briany Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Spot on. They are shite and we flattered them in Dublin. Mon the Poles Ireland have matched the Poles on points so far and have conceded the least goals of anyone in the group. Tonight, they have beaten the world champions, and beaten the top seed in their group for the first time in many, many years. For tonight, at least, all of this makes Ireland pretty good.

jock strap Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 We beat Ireland on points and drew with the Poles over the both matches. Pushed Germany in both games ( as per results ) yet failed to get a pint away to Georgia. No blame but ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock strap Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Spot on jock strap. That nightmare result in Tblisi was the stake through the heart of our hopes. Exactly that mate. Typical Scotland, relying on the hopes of others when we should be in their predicament rather than the usual situation we have. Frustrating!

Back to the lesser nations again Surely after your Thierry Henry moral crusade Jon Walters should have admitted he handballed it and was offside for his goal against us? Or even called for the match even to be replayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
