New thread as the last thread seems to be broken.
It’s surprising we are 40 ranking places above them. They’ve outplayed us home and away so far.
It's just so bad 😭😭😭
The rankings take an age to change to reflect reality unfortunately. They're much better than that.
Chronic "pass" from O'Shea
If, by some strange quirk, we were to get to the World Cup, we would perform worse than Euro 2012.
There’s no point in hoping for another nation to do us a favour.
This is soo poor
I mean, the results of other nations matches directly affect our chances, so we're probably alright to hope for results that skew things our way.
I struggle to see what he brings to the team although he seems a guaranteed starter when fit. What is he particularly good at?
Ferguson again terribly unaware of whats going on.
Kept possession at least.
I really hope we can hold on till half time and then maybe 2nd half we will come out better and score. They really are not great so far Ireland.
Would gladly take the ugliest 1-0 win ever here tonight.
It's not very promising, we're showing nothing in their half
This is grim watching.
I want to know who counts all the passes. Fair play to them.
That was the hope in Armenia but we got worse in the second half
Better last few minutes. There's a few matchups that suit us, we just need to keep hitting them.
Defending
What is even the point of this team any more
But you can see here that we’re not fit to go to a World Cup.
If you want a holiday to America, grand. If you want to go to a tournament as a competitor, it’s better to get there through earning it.
We might hold off yet lol.
Ireland are f…ing dire, it's embarrassing the way they are "playing"
The team look absolutely lost. Defense doesn't know whether to play short or go long, the midfield is nonexistent, Azaz and Ebsolele offering nothing and Evan is drifting aimlessly. And as I type this Collins demonstrates his particular brand of awful defending
Safe to say the FAI fucked this up
Another campaign where it's over
Ferguson offers very little. His movement is so laboured.
Apart from the first 2/3 minutes, Ireland hasnt been up to speed at all. Armenia much sharper.
...........Oh Collins what are you doin?
Massive let off there.
On his own at the back post.
Dont know who is worse; Festy, Collins or Darragh bloody Moloney
That knob of a captain shoulda got booked.
Can't say I understand your point at all - there's no lottos here, no lucky dips, by definition if we get there we'll have earned it. I just don't get the point in revelling in fckin hypothetical misery during a match.
We can worry about our performances if we get there.
Lucky. Coleman having a right go at JOB
I thought that Festy has been the best hope.
