    Getting pumped by Wales.

    Ireland seem like they will have a dry spell for quite a while now, dont really have any good young players and all their best players are older. Hardly recognise the names of most of the players in their squad even the guy that scored Shaun Willliams couldnt tell you where he played what position or for what club first time ive ever seen his name.

    Allen, Ramsey and Bale are good players for them probably similar to when Ireland used to have Keane, Duff and Keane when they were good. Really all it takes to make a usually mediocre country a quite decent and dangerous one.

    True but I thought Ireland would have defended better, well I say that but I haven't been watching it, so am assuming they haven't been that good defensively given the score.

    Injury plagued but that certainly isn’t an excuse for getting thumped by Wales. O’Neill doesn’t have the players that he needs for his system, if things don’t change no doubt he’ll have to pack his bags unfortunately

    His systems outdated as * though. He’s a dinosaur.

    Canny believe he’s still there after the Denmark game either.

    I agree completely but find it hard to criticise MON because of who he is. Irish team needs a makeover & a young hungry manager in

    Had a look at the squad, midfield and forward line is chronic!

    Especially when you look at the new faces and think, well at least they're young...no...not even that. Amazing Enda Stevens for example is 28 now and never featured.

    I think this may well be the worst Ireland team I've ever seen in my life time just awful.

    O'Neill experimented away from home against a team that has some proper quality in key areas, it's nowhere near as bad for Ireland as some are making out.
