It’s actually a sickener as we should have won but I suppose that’s a good sign of progress at least.How the feck did we not go through,
Fecking ludicrous.

If we had 1/4 a Robbie Keane we’d have made itGutted. Plenty of positives to take from this though considering how early we are into Kenny's reign. Desperately need one of the young lads to develop into a good goal threat. Some very nice passages of play at times.
Yep desperately lacking a goalscorer. Hopefully one of Obafemi, Idah or Parrott can develop well, preferably all three of them.If we had 1/4 a Robbie Keane we’d have made it
Definitely hope,It's a pity all our good chances fell to Browne.
As @kidbob said we really need some of the young strikers to come good.
We created the best chances though so there are reasons to be optimistic for the future
He did keep us in it with that save in the first half..Not often where you can blame the keeper in a shootout but Randolph was wank. They could've taken 50 penalties and he wouldn't have touched one of them.
Are you serious?Not often where you can blame the keeper in a shootout but Randolph was wank. They could've taken 50 penalties and he wouldn't have touched one of them.
One went under his hand and he couldn't even stop a panenka after staying in the middle.Are you serious?
The other keeper was just diving before the ball was kicked most of the time. He got lucky that Browne's was poor.
Randolph was close to Hamsik's and I think he got a hand to the one after that. He also did a good job of trying to recover when he realised your man had gone for the Panenka.
Not sure why your picking him out when it was too bad penalties that did for us.
Have you ever tried to save a penalty?One went under his hand and he couldn't even stop a panenka after staying in the middle.
It would surprise me if they came out and lied about a back room staff member having covid and them being in close contact if it was, in fact, a registration issue.Rumours that Connolly and Idah didnt start is because someone fecked up putting them through UEFA system.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Not a chance Idah was starting over McGoldrick one way or the other.Rumours that Connolly and Idah didnt start is because someone fecked up putting them through UEFA system.
It wouldn't surprise me.
He was fecked over at the start, with the ref moaning at him twice, guessed right twice and was close. Don't think that's quite fair.Not often where you can blame the keeper in a shootout but Randolph was wank. They could've taken 50 penalties and he wouldn't have touched one of them.
It's ridiculously harsh is what it isHe was fecked over at the start, with the ref moaning at him twice, guessed right twice and was close. Don't think that's quite fair.
I thought he did a good job of psyching the irish players out by the way in his first two penalties he took mad early dives to his left .Are you serious?

Oh Hell. God help you if you are blaming Randolph.Not often where you can blame the keeper in a shootout but Randolph was wank. They could've taken 50 penalties and he wouldn't have touched one of them.
Interesting strategy.I thought he did a good job of psyching the irish players out by the way in his first two penalties he took mad early dives to his left .
Browne was always going to to his right side after that and he got him .
Not sure what game you were watching but Hourihane had 2 great chances to score Browne had 1It's a pity all our good chances fell to Browne.

Never looked like he was going to save one to be honestNot often where you can blame the keeper in a shootout but Randolph was wank. They could've taken 50 penalties and he wouldn't have touched one of them.
That’s BS , they sat next to the official who tested positive . Idah wouldn’t have come off the bench never mind startedRumours that Connolly and Idah didnt start is because someone fecked up putting them through UEFA system.

Browne had the first one he was played in on the right. And then he had the second where he redirected it off the the post from O’Dowda cutting in from the left.Not sure what game you were watching but Houihane had 2 great chances to score Browne had 1
Fair enough but no excuses for that Hourihane miss he even had time to take a touchBrowne had the first one he was played in on the right. And then he had the second where he redirected it off the the post from O’Dowda cutting in from the left.
Oh sorry I thought it was Browne that had the chance after good work from McGoldrickNot sure what game you were watching but Hourihane had 2 great chances to score Browne had 1
That was a great chance. McGoldrick should buried his one too, but it's hard to blame him too much because he was a real bright spark in the team.Oh sorry I thought it was Browne that had the chance after good work from McGoldrick
Either way we've no one who can finish at the moment.
Not sure I've ever read such nonsense in my life, all of their pens were rifled, he nearly got to 2, and also nearly got to a panenka after already starting to dive, which I'm not sure i've ever seen. What an awful take.Not often where you can blame the keeper in a shootout but Randolph was wank. They could've taken 50 penalties and he wouldn't have touched one of them.
It was Browne, he hit it well but keeper saved near post. Browne also hit the post in extra time.Oh sorry I thought it was Browne that had the chance after good work from McGoldrick
Either way we've no one who can finish at the moment.
I hope we can somehow poach Liam Delap from Man City the son of Rory..Definitely a disappointing result but hopefully its the start of something. We played some nice football and were hugely unlucky not to win it in normal time or extra time.
We are short on quality but you'd hope that dual citizenship players might start seeing Ireland as a viable alternative to the overstocked England team and we can convince the next Grealish or Rice to commit to us because we actually play football.
AgreedOh sorry I thought it was Browne that had the chance after good work from McGoldrick
