As an aside, I managed to get the rte app on my phone and listened to the second half whilst cycling home. The commentating was top class. Brian Kerr is a fantastic co-commentator. He is knowledgeable, fair and warm, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. The punditry afterwards was good too. It’s a cut above anything the ingerlish have.
Kerr thought a draw was a fair result.

Kerr is a gem

He is the best soccer commentator I have yet heard on radio or TV. Should be used for everything.
The BBC or SKY should be after him big time.

McCarthy was poor…Walters not fit…when we got Wes on the ball we played some lovely stuff…thought subbing him was the wrong decision, we did nothing after that. Played well for 55 or so minutes and a fair result in the end.

McCarthy was poor for the goal, but I don’t think he necessarily had a bad game.

He was harshly criticised on RTE by Dunphy imo.

Wes asked to be taken off

I think Dunphy was correct. What else did they say? Did they question Wes going off?

Really?? How come?

His legs were sore. O’Neill said in interview that he signalled to bench.

Fair enough…I’ve not heard any post match reaction but thought at the time it was a bad call… Sorry MoN, sorry, Roy.

McCarthy shouldn’t play for us again the usual bluster…

I think he put in a decent shift in the first half in particular, got a lot of tackles in. Dunphy was out of order…said he should look for a day job at one stage along etc.

Also mentioned he got his manager sacked at Everton.

The results only started when O’Neill sent Keane to the bench where the assistant should be and he ditched the suit for the tracksuit, so go fuck yourself.

McCarthy has talent…just doesn’t get involved enough for me…but I think he will start again next day.

McCarthy will be kept in the team, we don’t have a option to replace him. Meek and gutless as he is he is still a far better player than Quinn and Meyler.

We don’t have a better option, he puts in a shift and has a better engine then the alternatives.

Was very impressed with Glenn tonight, thought he had a fantastic game. For a limited player athletically, he’s some pro.

A wonderful summation.

He is an awful cunt

I’m feeling far more upbeat this morning, despite a mild hangover. While last night may have been two dropped points, it was a fine performance on the whole from a generally limited group of players. Its a shame we didn’t see it out, but its all to play for in the group and we can be proud of our boys. Great to see the likes of Wes turn it on at as big tournament, what a moment for him.
