A win is all we needed. Well done to the Irish team and bad luck to all the begrudgers. So many hateful people on here.

Margaret whilst your comment is well meaning, it smacks of someone who doesn’t understand or even watch football. This is possibly the worst performance from an Ireland team I’ve ever seen. It’s just embarrassing to watch.

Kevin, it smacks of amateur trolling is what it does…

Stephen it WAS a total disaster!!

Margaret this is a squad of very well paid full time professional footballers playing against a country ranked 142st on the planet.
Really bad ‘performance’.

Who ranked England 3rd?

I could not agree more with this comment. For the first time in 30 years I didn’t bother to watch Ireland because they are so dull. Actually I think ducks is too good. I would rather get a big auld bucket of paint, fxxk it against a wall and watch it dry.

Hi Irish Red,

We did a separate story on that. Here’s the link: http://jrnl.ie/588588

Thanks Paul

my thoughts exactly

Well he’s definitely a Trap man.

Man of the match was the ref for blowing his whistle to end that nightmare

Whelan should have picked McClean as man of the match, I would have. Fair play to Sadlier he is not afraid to speak the truth and challenge the “senior analysts”

I think you fail to understand why people sung at the Euro’s. It was out of love for Ireland, not because of the performance of the team. They weren’t singing “you’ll never beat the Irish”, they sung a song about heart break at facing a hopeless situation, pretty fitting if you ask me.

As for tonight, terrible. The fact that we won is immaterial considering the performance. I can hear people calling for Traps head and I can say nothing to them tonight after that performance AND strategy

It’s a song about a petty thief from Galway.

Chris, would you steal a bit of corn from a wealthy landlord planted by an occupying nation in order to feed your starving family?

Ian I understand perfectly you just have a different opinion as to why the Irish sang when the national team were being played off the pitch…it was idiotic to me and please don’t give me the love of Ireland drivel…I’ve been to plenty of Irish away matches but the supporters at the euros we’re bandwagon idiots that switched away from Santa ponsa for a Year

were you in Poland ?

Anyone I was there with sang in recognition of the fans, it had zero to do with the team and the fans were angry with both the team and manager.

Just cause someone on tv said we were showing our support to the players doesn’t make it the case

Slight problem in that Dunne ha retired.

Dunne did not retire, duff and given did dunne is injured

Rubbish rubbish rubbish that’s what your comment and how the team played last night is, there has been very little change since duff and given retired instead of using James McLean he puts Simon cox on the wing what the hell is he playing at, it’s a joke there is so many young players like Greg cunningham seamus Coleman robbie Brady who should be starting never mind being in the squad, I’ve supported trap up til last night but now he has to go we would be better off with Richie saidler in charge
