Weird being an irish fan watching this knowing we have some very promising young players coming through with a manager like Stephen Kenny who should get the best out of them and have the team playing good football yet we have to wait to McCarthy gets his final little fling out of his squad out of the way first
Internationals November (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
1-0 for Ireland and they would be qualified.
Assuming the Swiss win.
2-0 gets us through regardless of Swiss result. And yes, I know, the Swiss are going to win. But still.
Well lads, exactly how shit are Ireland tonight so far then?
1-0 for Ireland and they would be qualified.
1-0 to Ireland and a draw for the Swiss would mean Ireland finish 3rd I think.
Danish centre backs all over McGoldrick every time. Ref needs to wake up.
For a change, we have played well and tried to play football
Yeah we've been on top. Danes are playing within themselves a bit I think. Think they'll step it up if Ireland score.
Although with two Danes gone off injured already there could be late drama when they tire.
Yeah but the Swiss aren't drawing with Gibraltar
They're 1-0 up at half time. Stranger things have happened.
Ireland's sole tactic is to get it into Shane Duffy's forehead.
Including tonight's match Italy would have won all their matches.
Ireland are playing well so far
Should we be playing to the strengths of our 5 goal a season striker instead? Some of you guys really don't understand that all nations don't have an abundance of incredible players. We couldn't play "good" football even if we wanted to.
Edit: I'm pretty sure our front men have a combined total of less than 10 international goals.
It'd be just like Ireland to beat the Danes at home only to miss out on qualification cos the Swiss sh*t the bed against Gibraltar
That Italian midfield - I'd love for United to go for Tonali or Barella. Or both!
Calm down lads, we'll win this for sure. Should be 3:0 up already. And with Gibraltar tiring during second half i can't see our team bottle it.
But Georgia are blessed with such talent? It's complete non-sense as usual. You don't need Messi to attempt something at least resembling football.
Mick playing it safe as usual
1-1 Aguero
We have a squad of players who play in teams that don't promote good football and have a dinosaur of a manager who played this type of football when we had a far better team in 00-02. Not saying we shouldn't try just pointing out it's silly to expect anything else right now. Hopefully that will change under Kenny but it'll have to be witht he likes of McClean out of the squad. This is who we are at this moment in time and there's no point in being pissed off about it.
Yep. We have scored 16 goals total since the Swiss battered us 2 years ago, and none of those scorers have scored more than once.
We are doing well so far. Possibly lucky that Denmark are also crap.
Both our games against them were slim leads during the first half, but then we destroyed them in the second, I am sure they will capitulate
We've done well today. I'll expect more under Kenny football wise but right now it's nice to see us be competitive.
1-2 Suarez
Bingo.
Anybody watching Sweden?? Flashscore says that Lindelöf has got an yellow sitting on the bench?!?
The guy is utter shite isn’t he.
James McClean how in the name of god is he a professional footballer!? 
We looked pretty good there, til it got to McClean. Twice.
Guarantee RTE will still give him man of the match they have a real blind spot for him
Denmark are terrible.
Only if he bangs one in or gets an assist.
The lads in the studio don't rate his ability at all.
Faroe Island have some top hecklers so he lost it...
They're clearly playing for a draw. Hope it bites them in the ass.
pen incident - 2:2 Messi
Heard the stadium explode from my house so I checked LiveScore and see Glenn Whelan’s got booked. Standard.
