New thread as the last thread seems to be broken.
Gutted. But surely we can build on the confidence of the end of the campaign and kick on for the Euros.
Lack of game management cost us in the end. Can't be giving away a cheap pen when you're two up like that.
I presume this means we failed to qualify after a brilliant match
Always felt that act of madness would make the difference in the end. Really angry at that. We had them, we were well on our way and to let them back in in that way is ridiculous.
In the end though we are a very limited team and I don't think anyone can argue with the result. We were spectators for most of the game, again.
We'll win the singing and craic competitions though.
I'd rather win matches.
You will and you will support him
Penalties are a horrible way to go out but why didn't one of the other players stand up.
Browne shouldn't be anywhere the first 5
Anyhow, sick but maybe we are beginning to see a few more of these nights with us becoming more competitive
And that's very much appreciated a positive
If Brady is the alternative then give me Manning any day
They're a bad side.
We're just worse.
We're just lucky football is set piece city now, so we can run around and be big. Seems to be enough for most teams, so we've found a way to get results recently.
But we're a poor footballing side in every sense.
Denmark will comfortably qualify....
Ireland have a dreadful record in penalty shootouts...worse than the English at this stage...
Had zero confidence there...
I don’t want to see the foul for their second as I thought it was not a foul and I’m raging we lost this.
There’s alot for manager to build on here. When you think where we were a year ago
Mod Edit
Warning issued.
Only Ireland can go 2 up in a game, and be 1 penalty up with 2 to go and still lose. Losers mentality all week in the media now.
We were better in first half and extra time. Cezchs much better in second half.
Azaz completely telegraphed where his penalty was going.
It's always a lotto but gutted
That'll go down as an all time worst performance. Bad management leaving him on penos after showing how nervous he was in general play. His head wasn't connected to his body.
Typical Ireland though. We pull off miracles to get to to this stage and as soon as we find ourselves in a dominant position we implode starting with Manning's pull.
That’s a shame
Gee.
At least we gave him a new contract, wha 🫠
what use is that now really..
What might have been
Last two pens were poor.
Feel sorry for the players, they put on a decent performance tonight.
Give over! We played the same way tonight that we've played every game under HH
Sad.
Well feck life
Haha we have to play North Macedonia on Tues
Great energy and attitude……up to about the 40th minute
Czechs found their gut and we gratefully helped them along. Really disappointing performance after that initial period.
Can't slate losing in pens, but our confidence was really on the floor after that second half for all RTE's bluster
Denmark will beat them. They are a very ordinary side
ah grow up ffs
and by the way, without his corner we don't get our second either.
Threw the game away. Braindead from Manning to give away a peno when we were cruising. The subs were completely useless when they came on.
They always say you shouldn't have a go at someone willing to take a penalty.
But that Alan Browne choice was mental.
And took a **** pen when we lost to Slovakia. I put my head into my hands and didn't look once his name was mentioned
