World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

Ugly and effective, the Tony Pulis era Stoke of international football. :wenger:
I'm firmly of the opinion that Ireland should be given an automatic spot for every big international tournament because the fans are a delight
 
What the hell is wrong with the ref. Finnish player tries to break a leg and gets a yellow card.
 
Ireland taking a leaf out of the Manchester United circa 2014-2017 playbook - go a goal up and then sit back allowing your opponent all the ball and territory they like until they equalise.
 
He was right in front of the incident too, shocking decision.
I'm honestly shocked. The only rational reason for it is that he didn't see it but made a call based on reaction but that's really bad refereeing.

Now our player gets fouled, fouls back but is carded when he should have gotten a free kick.
 
Queen hater missed a sitter?

Well, I loved their earlier albums particularly 'Sheer Heart Attack,' up to 'Night At The Opera.' Granted they went of the boil a bit but still a great live act.

Hate, is strong word though
 
Ref's in these NT qualifiers are really really poor at doing their job, no wonder so many of them players end up picking up an injury from these games.
 
We're a shambles. Halftime can't arrive quickly enough.
 
We must think we're playing Real Madrid here with the white jerseys, we're making them look that good anyway.
 
This is one of the worst Irish performances I can ever remember.

Incredible how bad this is.
Tbf Georgia at home is not so easy as it looks, not even to the best teams in Europe imo.
 
This is a shambles of a performance. Wish I could say it's one of the worst in a while but this is just normality for Ireland. Horrendous.

That's no excuse not to even pretend to try and play football.

If we'd attempted to string two consecutive passes together and were being outplayed by them it would be one thing. But just lumping the ball back to them like frightened schoolgirls every time we get near it is pathetic.
 
By Christ I would not like to be in the dressing room at half time. Keano will have something to say.
What's the management doing having them play like this. Still completely bypassing midfield at every opportunity. Crazy.
 
Artur can't pass the ball. Ireland are three sheets to the wind. We also have to endure yourman Hamilton the commentator who can't resist giving his opinions. God but England were dreadful last night but this is another level of awfulness. Awfulness avec commitment you might say. Weirdly though I think we will win this. The Georgians are defeatists.

It's really not.

We're not a great side but we're usually well organised and play to our strengths.

We're not sat on top of the group, unbeaten in 6 having played like this in every game.

I'm not saying we should winning or dominating. The gameplan is literally (no exaggeration) to boot the ball as far away as possible from our goal. No passing allowed.

It's pathetic and to be honest, I want O'Neill gone after watching this.
