New thread as the last thread seems to be broken.
This had the feel of the Estonia playoff for 2012(?) until manning took leave of his senses. We’ve hardly been in the game since
Sure it is what it is, we'd be losing now if not for one of their lads throwing a stupid unnecessary foot up high in the box, and of course an especially stupidly defended own goal (from a Manning corner!) - football's built on mistakes.
Still time to get something here.
Our pen award was jammy. As was our og.
We did well in first 45mins. But they've been better since.
They are not a good team. We actually have better footballers. But we sat deep all half and invited this. Even then, it's basic corner technique to have cover at the post. Not sure we have the energy for 30 mins extra. Going to be nervy.
Finally, a yellow for them.
Sat back for most of the 2nd half. What does anyone expect...we should have been pressing far higher up the pitch. They have been the better team in 2nd half
The ref has been shite. He also gave us the softest penalty you’ll ever see. We’d be fuming if that was the other way round
Awful goal to concede, **** defending.
He found his cards for them.
Don’t think I want to see what the free was given for their 2nd as will be raging if it wasn’t a foul
I think we've shot our shot in attack, certainly from open play anyways. Gonna be relying on a set piece from here on in I think
90 minutes for the first Czech yellow card.
All it takes is one lucky flick and we win, come on!
Kelleher has been poor
Idiotic from O’Brien giving them a chance to load the box here. And it nearly cost us the game
This second half has been a disaster
Energy sapping. Big time.
ET
We are shattered. Lack of game time really showing for quite a few of us
blessed
getting messy
We need fresh legs in extra time.
He went down in the Leeds match at the weekend but everyone thought he was just wasting time.
We wont beat Denmark anyway so its better we lose tonight.
Need fresh legs and quickly.
No football played by Ireland. Joke
Gonna have to do something to get some energy into that lads
Vale for Cheo perhaps.
nothing left in the tank, can’t see us getting back into this. Coleman, Ogbene have hardly kicked a ball in months
Fcuk off
Hard to see this finishing with a win. Think we are spent , hope I’m wrong
We still have 3 subs.need to use them
It's been exactly the way one would expect with that game state, hanging onto a lead away from home. Us hanging in there, with moments on the break (like hitting the post).
All in all its still be a very good performance under very tough circumstances.
