Armenia 2-1 Ireland Post Match Analysis

I know, I know. Beaten comfortably by a country outside the top 90. But come on. I too was surprised by the lack of at least a contingent of English-born “Irishman” capable of winning against a pub team – but let’s be honest, any other result would have meant the inevitable dreaming of a moment to distract from the usual anti England vitriol that we will see next year, come Tournament
time. The better team won on the night. At least we have Cheltenham to look forward to between now and big boy time at the WC Finals.

that was a disgrace, the coach needs firing, embarrassing

It’s surprising considering it’s Irelands national sport.

Two huge CBs what century are we in ?
You need agility in modern football, agility and speed

Holy jeyes do these lads get paid taken money under false pretenis 😂

Hello there
Just a quick question what's the song used on intro for the channel

I wouldn't have blamed the panel if they just walked out of the studio before the match was over and RTE cut the program short. Feel sorry for the lads here having to do this "post mortem" over the dead body of the Irish soccer team. Can't be easy for them …. I switched of in disgust when Armenia hit the net for the third time and didn't realise the goal was dis-allowed until the next day. Small consolation getting beaten by 2-1 instead of 3-1 to a team ranked 105th in the world.

How come there is so much disrespect toward the team that beat you? Did you forget that this is not your first loss in Yerevan? Does “04.06.22 ARM 1-0 IRL” sound familiar? And in the same year, in Ireland, you managed to win only thanks to a penalty awarded in the very last minute of the match.
why speak like this about the Armenian NT instead of giving them credit for their victory? You need to know how to lose while still showing respect, guys, even to a team ranked far below you.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming games. You’ll have another chance to try and beat “very poor” Armenia in October.

Shame on the irish players and management team.

Ireland were unlucky

Another international break on October 11, absolutely ridiculous, I fully understand why the clubs are seething

Ireland: Obedient 'Coached' athletes in the game of football favoured by 'coaches' over autonomy requiring natural footballers! It began in the 1980s.

We're more bothered about building APAS centers that football lol

To think how badly Brian Kerr, Stephen Kenny and Mick MacCarthy (2nd time) were treated. If Stan Staunton was eviscerated after cyprus then Heimir deserves to be read the riot act.

Stop whining… Anyone can lose to anyone at any given day

This group has no passion for an Irish team, the tip tap football they play in the English leagues is telling now in their inability to tackle hard, fight for every ball and show some guile in front of goal. Laziest looking Irish team I have ever seen. N.Irl much better. Changes needed badly, men with spirit we need now not a management team gaulking into a laptop like a crystal ball for the answers to their terrible selections and tactics.

No issue with that result. Armenia played very well. Ireland pretty much played to form. Can't say why Shay Given is SHOCKED.

Team That finished against Hungary should've started Idah cant score on bench

Absolutely shocking performance I understand we need to keep our expectations to a certain level but that was dreadful last night and they were very lucky to walk away with a point against Hungary
