They are absolutely dire!

The defence is disconnected from the forwards but the long balls forward are all aimless.

Corners & free kicks are their only hope of getting anything tonight
Welcome to the world of Irsh international soccer - they only players that they have who can pass the ball are Conor Hourihane and Robbie Brady - neither of whom are on the pitch tonight.

Two of the Irish midfielders play in the Championship and one plays in Scotland.

Connolly is down - looks like he hurt his knee

Nope - up and running again - but a bit helter skelter from him.

Ronnie Whelan who is commentating is saying Connolly is lost on the wing

Schmeichel called Ireland terrible after Satdi and predicted Swiss would beat them. It was widely thought Mick Mc would pin that to the dressing room wall for inspiration but Ireland clearly believe it at the moment

This game is far from over - Ireland graft and could well get a goal.

A rotten pitch and hoofball doesn't suite our lad.

You only need to look at their manager to know how they will play.

Many of McCarthy's teams have played passing football - including the Irish team during his first stiint as manager.

McCarthy is actually screaming at the Irish players to pass the ball
