    Bit of a boring narrative at this stage. We always went into this tournament as fans with little more then hope. We know how limited our squad is compared to Belgium and Italy our only hope was always beating Sweden. We didn't.

    So given that do you expect fans who have paid good money travel to France to sit in their hotel rooms watching TV or go out have a few pints and drown their sorrows.. bit of a sing song whatever. We are all dissapointed to say otherwise is rubbish.
    I don't think all of us are disappointed tbf. Some people seem to revel in misery

    Pathetic the amount of fair weather fans in this thread. As soon as the team has a bad day they crawl out of the woodwork to spew their bitterness.

    McCarthy utterly hopeless today and really let himself down for the second goal. He's three-yards ahead of Witsel all the way but suddenly stops paying attention to him as soon as the cross is hit.

    Should we pull a load of barca players from our arse?

    Go back to moaning about the fans. It's all you have

    We need to look for more plastics, from all over Europe, and not just the UK

    Its pathetic to see. O'Neill is the most negative manager Ive seen, time wasting 10 minutes in. Northern Ireland are a better side despite the difference in resources. He has no clue, and already has a new contract

    I don't think we're a better side but we have a better manager.

    Martin O'Neill is yesterday's man. He will struggle to land a job at a high level after his current gig.

    The singing just annoys me, it's not being great fans, it's "better living through denial".

    The best fans in the world will burst their guts singing now, and show no signs of disappointment whatsover. It's baffling

    And the envy of virtually every other country there.

    Don't let inadequacy on the pitch detract from Irish soccer's biggest positive-the fans.

    You won't win much with championship and fringe premiership players

    No, and most wern't expecting us to either. It's those who support big clubs, clubs that have the big players, that dominate games, that challenge for titles etc that can't adjust to following a side that don't.

    Getting hammered is part of life when you're an Ireland fan. Deal with it

    If his name was O'Benteke he would the first name on the Irish teamsheet without fail. Meanwhile hes a squad player for Belgium because they have even better players ahead of him.

    We should be regretting it. The problem with Ireland is our lack of winning mentality.

    Yea, who needs fans singing at a game when they should be getting angry behind a key board like yourself.

    I'm surprised Hyundai haven't been around to you to feature in their next "Football is nothing without fans" ad

    I wonder if there's a Pavlovian reponse from the players; as soon as they here The Fields of Athenry they just give up.
