New thread as the last thread seems to be broken.
At least we gave him a new contract, wha 🫠
Gee.
That’s a shame
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.
It's always a lotto but gutted
We were better in first half and extra time. Cezchs much better in second half.
Azaz completely telegraphed where his penalty was going.
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.
Mod Edit
Warning issued.
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
Denmark will comfortably qualify....
Ireland have a dreadful record in penalty shootouts...worse than the English at this stage...
Had zero confidence there...
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.
If Brady is the alternative then give me Manning any day
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
We'll win the singing and craic competitions though.
I'd rather win matches.
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.
I presume this means we failed to qualify after a brilliant match
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.
Did you see the carry on of some of our guys?
Blinkers should be banned.
Keeper was half way there before Azaz struck the ball
Too much media hype all week. Pundits talking shite now. Didi definitely saw a different game.
I'm genuinely so gutted. I didn't expect us to win but 2 0 up what a golden chance missed
Idah was shocking. And stylistically a bad choice when you're leaving Parrott on too.
At least he scored his penalty well, that at least justifies the sub, but his play was abysmal
No, there’s a 2nd leg on Tuesday. Still a chance
Our traveling fans are celebrated the world over. They were brilliant imo
Great stuff, doesn't mean we weren't too conservative.
It was rotten after we scored the 2nd, and instead of trying to win it, he tried not to lose. Czechs were all over us especially in the second half.
He has the credit in the bank for getting us here in the first place, but it doesn't mean he's not immune from criticism.
Also, judging by the posts here, I see some are channelling their inner England and turning on some of the players.
We had some possession in the 2nd half of ET, but zero quality to do anything about it.
You’ll never beat the Irish all poxy night!!!
As they would have to us too. As we are a very ordinary side
I think v Denmark would have been too difficult. But still stings as should have won tonight . At the same time there are signs of progress.
Robbie Brady was decent, 2 nice corners and took his pen well. I hope Smodics is OK.
