Fuck it
That’s a moral 1-1 victory. Spock in, at least until we only draw against Gibraltar.
Fuck.
It.
Encouraging performance but we need that against teams that are more at our level and we could start going places
Can’t believe that fucking save.
Collins is just walking around mouthing…how the fuck did he save that?
Maloney & Kelly need to fuck off too. Two painful dickheads.

He does not have the gravitas to be commentating on competitive Irish fixtures.
Maloney has always had that spiel, that Kelly is an awful pleb alright
Good of most of the crowd to stay in the stadium five seconds after the final whistle of a humdinger… wtf Maloney.

France have a brilliant squad.
Thats a very honourable performance from Ireland.

Great effort there. These games have never really been a problem though. The more important games are on the way

We’ve been here tho. Away v Portugal… We need to turn it back to front quicker and put em under pressure. Slow build up from the back will never suit us.
You got the feeling France were going through the motions there also.

France have been vulnerable all night, going through the motions, and we’ve not been good enough to take advantage.
Bottom line is it’s yet another home defeat after a calamatious defensive clanger.
Now we’ll have to put up with the hyperbole about how we were brilliant, we’re on the right path etc. We’re not, bar a helter skelter last few mins - and an admittedly great save - we offered practically nothing as an attacking threat, bar Ogbene’s pace.

The acid test will be the Greek and Dutch games. Spock has been here before (Portugal game for example)
Bang on.

In truth, effort & performance is generally good against high quality opposition.
It’s the performances against weaker or similar standard sides that would make you ill
