Dreadful game ā¦ Matched only by the commentary. Ward wouldnāt get a game for Moldova. Whelan, Walters, McCarthy
& McLean all terribly poor. And for all Wes gives he turns over some amount of possession too.
That sport is dreadfully boring after the excitement of the last few weeks.
Decent 3 points and a great start to the qualifying campaign.
Regardless of the opposition they are getting the job done. At least a point the next day and it will have been an excellent year with a limited bunch.
Weāre not pretty to watch but getting the results.
Limited is being kind.
Quiet in here , annyyywayyy. Some result tonight . Most enjoyable Irish game I watched in a long time from standpoint that we didnāt sit back after scoring . And what a goal from James , classy buildup too . Couldnāt ask for anymore , thanks MON & Keano 
Great result, McClean was superb. Our experience & ability to get results really showing now. Oesterreich were poor on the night, despite probably better players than us overall, and being at home, with a terrible attitude.
In the past, in my experience, even when we had better players, we lost or drew away games like this always, against decent oppo. Our higher standards of game management and expectation, and better coaches are really showing. The experience of the Euros has brought the players/squad on alot too.
We are trying more and more not to turn over ball too easy and to get up the pitch more when defending a lead or result. We got some luck but could easily have got a 2nd goal with some luck. Their last attack was a freak series of things including a slip, a deflected pass, and started with what could have been a free, as well as some mistakes by us and a really jammy break of the ball to Jancker, so I suppose āit all works outā!
Book your hotel in St Petersburg nowā¦
Dunphy was eulogising after. If the Austrian guy equalised at the death heād have been scathing about the exact same performance.
Yep, theres a bounce of a ball between glowing reports v getting panned in soccer more then any other sport.

Great win. Hoolihanās pass from the centre circle to McClean was magnificent -split three defenders.
Pin point.
When he stroked it I lept in the air.
Now I sound like the quare oneā¦

Heās full of shit, a total contrarian for the sake of it. Sport analysis has moved on from what some guy thinks, we now want to know whatās happening and how and why.
RTE were correct to get rid of Giles, Dunphy should be next.
For a second there I thought you were talking about this place ā¦
