Fecking hell lads. Could see us dropping this now after playing so well for 70 minutes.

Oh ffs... Total collapse against these useless feckers.
Collapse
Sort it out. We should still be winning this easily.
Jesus completely out of nowhere. First 3 shots of the game and 2 goals all in 3 minutes.
Dreadful penalties as well. Turning into a bad night all round with the seniors throwing this away
Aye, terrible. Should have done much better in the first leg tbh!
Ok cheers. He was brilliant for them last season. Always been question marks around his mentality, though.
Give us the pen... Go on
That's a pen
This is lunacy!!
Wild end to the match 
Why didn't the second bloke shut it after the first bloke got the second yellow?

We deserved that bit of luck.
Thank feck for that. Would have been an absolute pain to not win this game after dominating except for that terrible 5 minutes.
I know some people disregard the nation's league, but they certainly have a better intensity about the games than normal friendlies.
Case in point tonight!

Hourihan and Hendrick should not be selected again, both very poor.
Eventually the results will get better I think because the performances have mostly been really solid the last few games.
That was all a bit shambolic. Even vs 9 men we still looked nervous as feck.
Overall performance quite good but still not creating enough decent chances. We can’t keep relying on set-pieces.
Christ on a bike. It's a hard station, being an Ireland fan.
Liam Brady is clearly freezing, let the poor bastard go home!
Shay Given questioning the penalty
Mental night. Great goal by Obafemi
Hourihan had a few useful moments but what a ridiculous pass to give away a goal change; Hendrick was pretty good, I thought if a little sluggish.
Pity about the U21’s. Did well to hold out into extra time but poor penalties
I was at the game. Mental ending and we got out of jail.
Some observations.
Parrot gave us nothing. Not ready for international football.
Hendrick was half a yard off the pace
Obafemi while he got a very good goal was isolated most of the game.
We are playing some decent ball but lack a cutting edge.

Could Bazunu have done better for the second goal? Looked like he dived over the ball. It certainly wasn’t in the corner.
Yes looks like it. His shot stopping this season hasn't been very impressive.

Evan Ferguson > Haaland.
Would love to see him given a chance in the senior team against Norway next month, considering there's nothing riding on it.
Think it's still too early for him. He's a big lad but he's still finding his feet for the International 21s and is no way dominating at that level. Have lots of hope for this guy and wouldn't want to damage his confidence too early.
Why not join the lively conversation in this thread?
Even for a young lad like @Zebs that thread is a bit hectic.
Is there any way Kenny can survive this draw? For me yes, but I don't imagine the general patience will survive a few pastings.
Or will the obvious underdog role play well for us?

Nightmare draw to be fair
Unfortunately I think not. I’ve been enjoying us under Kenny, first time really being excited by Ireland in a long time. Our squad is a bit shit, but we’ve got some good young players that I’ve enjoyed watching coming through. Think this may be a bridge too far though, no chance we get through the bridge and possible that a couple of pastings by the big teams will damage morale and lead to Kenny’s exit.
Does Top 3 qualify? Or is it 2? Either way we are probably fecked.
I wonder who will be brought in to replace Kenny though? Lennon?
Chrisht.

How many starting elevens could France field that would comfortably beat the strongest Irish starting eleven currently?
This is a discussion currently being had at work, guesses vary from five to fifteen.
