COYBIG! (COYGIG!)

Where the fuck is VAR there? That's a stonewall penalty

First thing McGeady has done well all night.

A goalfest by our usual standards.

Grim but gripping.

Grim but gripping.

Not quite Kilkenny Vs Galway my mate.......but it's something to watch this wet and wintry evening.

 

[Dougal]

Grim but gripping.

That’s most nights for you isn’t it?

McClean is shite. So heroic in his play, yet achieves absolutely nothing.

They’re really frustrating to watch at the moment.

Looking forward to a Xhaka shocker.

 

[taidgh]

The expected amount of quality on display in this one!

 

[werty]

We're a bit better after going to a back five after 30ish minutes. We were taking on water before that.

 

[taidgh]

Under serious pressure in the 2nd half. No idea how we haven't conceded.

 

[taidgh]

aaand there it is.

 

[taidgh]

Good point considering how shit we were!

 

[werty]

Stole that point. Don't understand why we went back to the back four in the second half when the back five towards the end of first half was working.

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

Could be a huge point...COYBIG

 

[Dougal]

Would have taken that before the game.

 

[TheChosenOne]

aaand there it is.

Was watching on the RTE player and of course it conked out for three minutes during which the Swiss goal was scored. Fackin useless articles.

Think that's all they were after from the start.

Only way we could've been more inviting is for a red carpet to be laid out. And maybe some confetti.
