Basically like watching us last year. Dreadful to watch. Depressing.

Connolly now playing left side of midfield

They are absolutely dire!

The defence is disconnected from the forwards but the long balls forward are all aimless.

Corners & free kicks are their only hope of getting anything tonight

Welcome to the world of Irsh international soccer - they only players that they have who can pass the ball are Conor Hourihane and Robbie Brady - neither of whom are on the pitch tonight.

Two of the Irish midfielders play in the Championship and one plays in Scotland.

They better not **** up his confidence, this is league one at best

Connolly is down - looks like he hurt his knee

Nope - up and running again - but a bit helter skelter from him.

Ronnie Whelan who is commentating is saying Connolly is lost on the wing

 

[portslade seagull]

Noooo is he injured

Schmeichel called Ireland terrible after Satdi and predicted Swiss would beat them. It was widely thought Mick Mc would pin that to the dressing room wall for inspiration but Ireland clearly believe it at the moment

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Just as he said it - Connolly is in centre forward and Collins is out on the wing.

School of Pulis high aimless balls at the moment

You only need to look at their manager to know how they will play.

This game is far from over - Ireland graft and could well get a goal.

Sub him off!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Eeyore]

A rotten pitch and hoofball doesn't suite our lad.

Many of McCarthy's teams have played passing football - including the Irish team during his first stiint as manager.

McCarthy is actually screaming at the Irish players to pass the ball

 

[Driver8]

Duffy finds the keeper again!

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Sub him off!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Connolly taken off at half-time

 

[Mancgull]

Ireland just can't keep the ball. Midfield is awful.

 

[Hampster Gull]

They’re killing out there, and the Swiss are kicking him

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Connolly down again - he is diving in too much - a bit like a headless chicken tonight

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Awful football
