We barely beat Gibraltar and only two players fail to get pass marks?

That is truly astonishing mathematical excellence.  40%, is often usually considered a pass mark. The lowest level of performance acceptable. I would be strongly of the opinion that not too many managed that. |

If Matt Doherty or Sean Maguire (for example) individually were the only ones to have bad performances then you could say maybe we need to try something else or someone else in those positions, but the fact is everybody was sh*t, so it points to an overall issue (on the day).
Anybody calling anything at this stage needs to have their head examined.

You really had to be there to believe it. Wind was awful, pitch was a joke, it even failed the UEFA pitch inspection. Shambles of a set up. Should never have been played there

Didn't realise it was a university exam standard were conducting. But if it was then yes not too many would have made it. As it is it isn't a university exam and to me 6 is average and work from there.

Not trying to be smart, but if it failed the pitch inspection, why was the game allowed to go ahead?

Probably UEFA saving face. They're the ones who told Gibraltar they have to XY and Z to get it up to standard. They did. UEFA said go ahead. Then it fails bounce test. UEFA didn't want to do a u-turn at late stage.

Surely six is above average, 5 is average and 4 just below? It is all f**king irrelevant anyway. We know the pitch is terrible and the wind was awful, it excuses nothing. Gibraltar played the conditions far better. We continued to hump the ball into the wind or into the channels, despite everyone being able to see that this was giving them a chance.

Do people think a good LOI side would have won more comfortably last night?

Genuinely astounded to see so many excuses being made for these Irish players. If we played yesterday with 8 players, leaving Duffy, Hendrick and McClean on the bench, there wouldn't have been much difference in our general play. We possibly would have been better as Duffy and Hendrick just kept kicking the ball away.
It cannot be underestimated how bad most of our players were yesterday. A 0/10 mark for Duffy and McClean is fair and also kind to them. Hendrick 1/10 for a lovely finish for the goal but an all round deplorable display is also fair. All the while many are talking about how Doherty Coleman didn't work. A setup given 50 odd minutes to settle. What an absolute cod by McCarthy to hook Doherty and leave the likes of McClean on btw. I was of the opinion before this game that McCarthys tenure is going to be a disaster and pretty grim. I really didn't think that it would effectively be dying a death after 1 game against Gibraltar though. Wasn't Mick brought in to get us back playing some semblance of attacking football? What the game plan yesterday, puc fada competition was it?

Yes. Dundalk would have looked more comfortable and won more comfortably.

Emmet Malone in the Irish Times wrote yesterday that "The pitch here , as it happens, has apparently been the subject of repeated inspections this week by Uefa who obliged the hosts to keep working on it before finally passing it as fit to actually stage the game on Thursday". I did hear something on Newstalk on the bounce test. I presume that Gibraltor will be obliged to play all other home group games there.

You would hope so and would hope the FAI would raise any objections to it if not

Are lads here actually suggesting that the likes of Switzerland and Denmark might drop points away to Gibraltar on that same pitch? I've seen Seamus Coleman mention something similar in an interview after the match. We are well and truly through the looking glass now people.

I certainly am not suggesting they will. However, what I am saying is that if we had to go there and play on that pitch they should too. What I would be seriously annoyed about is if UEFA decided the pitch wasn't up to standard and they had to move to Faro.

Denmark and Switzerland will both beat Gibraltar by at least three goals away from home.
