I think if Ireland get a third nailed on pen denied, they get a free sandwich.
still in with a chance, italians could nick one just to be ****s mind, but it's all there for ireland!
It's been weird seeing Ireland all over Italy - even with all their changes, I thought they'd still batter us.
A few goals from that dominance would have been nice.
No doubt about that for me - definite penalty, even through green-tinged glasses.
Good to see Howard Webb finding work after leaving Man U.
Hoho.
The Italians are sooooo dirty!
First really poor refereeing performance I've seen in the Competition.
The *WHISTLE* prob with this *WHISTLE* ref, is he is not *WHISTLE* letting the game *WHISTLE* flow.
The refereeing has been 'interesting'. Do the Italians actually have to punch somebody? That'd probably be waved away too
This terrible feeling...we lose as Italy score on the break.
Tell you what, I realise they sometimes get praised as "masters" of the cynical game, but it's ****ing annoying being on the receiving end - has the ref shown any yellows to Italy at all? Agbonna looks like he's in an MMA bout with some of his challenges.
If these two games end in a draw, Iceland scoring at the end cost me £300. Ouch.
Anyway, C'MON IRELAND! THINK OF THE SWEEPSTAKE!
YES!
boom! there ye go! well deserved! 🙂
GET IN!!!!
greggs on bongo 🙂
Oh Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
*finds rosary beads and starts praying*
*darcy to the forum, darcy to the forum*
Gooooaaalll! Ireland! Ireland! Goooooaaalll! 😆
I, erm, literally, can't watch.
Blimey, Ireland !!
Cool uh.
My wife went to bed poorly, I think I woke her up.
Laughed that the manager walked off the pitch in disgust after the fluff, then seconds later they scored ?
Well, I can.
who cares about brexit ..we could win the euros:)
No, I can't.
"If it stays like this, the Republic of Ireland will play France, while Wales will take on Northern Ireland."
....according to Barry G on the Guardian liveblog
ITV commentators need to shut up. In danger of jinxing it.
Gonna be a bonkers night in Lille tonight! 😀
And I followed the Mrs Binners philosophy and bet on an Ireland win 😀

Oh ****ing AWESOME!
I'm doing a little cry.
hahaha, I love martin oneill, brilliant! Mon the Irish, well done! 🙂
Have I just seen Keano smile? 😯
Great to see all 4 teams thru. And We get Wales next round!!
We get France. 😆
1 owed!
We get France.
Is that revenge I smell in the air?
And I followed the Mrs Binners philosophy and bet on an Ireland win
Likewise. It was my lowest paying out bet, but happy to get a little bit back and ROI to go through.
Bloody hell, one side of that last 16 looks heavily weighted.
We really are in the harder side of the draw....
Switzerland v [b]Poland[/b]
[b]Croatia[/b] v Portugal
[b]Wales[/b] v Northern Ireland
[b]Hungary[/b] v Belgium
[b]Germany[/b] v Slovakia
[b]Italy[/b] v Spain
[b]France[/b] v Republic of Ireland
England v [b]Iceland[/b] (On pens)
*goes down the bookies*
just concentrate on france! 😆
Revenge...??
No, course not...
EDIT: Image posting fail.
Do the people who interview footballers at the end of matches go on a special course to drill all the good questions out of them?
Very emotional here too Deadlydarcy. Was at the Germany game in October in Aviva but this one was even more emotional.
If we get revenge for the hand of Henri I don't care what happens after that!
Looking at that draw I fancy Croatia to make the final. Maybe win it.
Right, so with all that finished...
The whole 3rd place qualifiers thing has worked out to be quite good hasn't it (and not just because we scraped in). There hasn't really been a meaningless match in the last round has there? Both for the teams playing and the other qualifiers watching. Listening to Portugal v Hungary and Austria v Iceland earlier on the radio, the permutations were multitude. Even tonight's game had a bearing on who Norn Irn and Wales would play.
nah no a fan tbh.
Why not?
Yes good idea. Has been better for the fans keeping the interest alive and also the smaller countries in terms of revenue for their association. The IFA will get around £2m for getting to the 2nd round, some of this will be spent on grassroots development and the rest on the stand we broke at Windsor
