barryryde Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thought we (& them) looked rusty, the break since the end of the season showed on both team, but a draw was a good result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ireland are long ball hatchet men. This. Absolutely. Ireland are shite. Kept in this group by a combination of set-pieces and utter luck....we're a much. much better team. Let's go on and do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 This. Absolutely. Ireland are shite. Kept in this group by a combination of set-pieces and utter luck....we're a much. much better team. Let's go on and do it. We may still need them to get something in the last game in Poland though I hope and actually believe we can do this ourselves. 3 wins against Georgia, Poland and Gibraltar will likely see us in France. Thats a huge incentive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Leaving Anya out for Ritchie didnt work & Strachan realised it. I felt at times that balls were played into areas that Anya would normally get into if that makes sense. First half was dreadful & Maloney was lucky to come out for 2nd half (glad he did) as he done nothing in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest allyc Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I said Ireland were awful and got shot down for not showing them respect.they are the the Wimbledon of international football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 We were better technically, they were better physically. Playing them in June was to their benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bino's Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ireland were awful today we were the only team that tried to play any real football Ireland were crosses and corners 1980's stuff At least we tried to play football in and around the box, where our goal came from they deserved nothing from the game today O'Neill's a caveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ireland were awful today we were the only team that tried to play any real football Ireland were crosses and corners 1980's stuff At least we tried to play football in and around the box, where our goal came from they deserved nothing from the game today O'Neill's a caveman coincidentally just watched the highlights of euro 88 qualifer game away in dublin (i recall watching live at time was afternoon game - and grim) but liam brady seemed to be playing a more cultured game , and fair bit of on the deck play ; sheedy, houghton etc we were mince then - they beat us 1-0 for the hampden game ; so nice to see we are on the way back bit of concern for georgia game away ; as the home game was tricky , and we haven't done well in this type of fixture typically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Am just so glad this set of fixtures against this shower is over. 4 points out of 6 still in contention, got to be happy with that. I thouhht naisy was horrendous today, lost the plot a fair few times during that game. But I still love the cnt now because you just now he cares so much. Him and fletch were tremendous at our goal celebration, we're still fkin in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailender Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Basically, Gord fecked up his team selection. Looked like he was playing for a draw from the off. Backfired, but at least he changed ti and rescued a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveheartGordon Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Ireland were blood and thunder, long balls and set pieces are their speciality, we coped with 99% of them well, our passing combination leading to Maloney's equalizer was excellent. Thought Martin and Mulgrew were heroic dealing with that bombardment, was always going to be tough to win the match with the situation for Ireland, they faced a similar situation to what we had at Celtic Park. Draw is a decent result, not a great one...but its very difficult to win international games away from home, so to have avoided defeat away to Poland and ROI is not bad at all.

scoobydoo Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I strangely woke up with a few minutes to play (01:30am). Messaged my pal, who was watching at the local casino. He said it was a shite game so I fell asleep again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Interestring they were saying on the radio before no one has won away from home yet out of us Ireland poles and Germany, obviously discounting Georgia/gib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 To go to Dublin and play as badly as we did in the 1st half and still come away with a draw really does show how much we have come on under Strachan. Ireland may be limited, but they are pretty effective at what they do, and will give just about anyone a game. Starting with Ritchie and Forsyth was a mistake, but Strachan did what he had to do and will have learned from the game. He's done little wrong in his spell as manager so far. Happy with the point (and denying them the full three), better teams than us have been beaten at the Aviva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wembley67lisbon Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 First half was brutal. We were utter dross. Fletcher, Ritchie were very poor although fletcher didn't have much to play with. Looked far better with anya on. What the fighting in the Scotland end at half time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazfaebolton Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 thought both left and right backs were pish ireland were there for the taking with right squad selection but overall happy with a draw which keeps the momentum going into the next game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
