Rep of Ireland World Cup exit: O'Herlihy, Giles, Souness and Dunphy react

[IsMiseAdhamh]

I didn't get to listen to this when it was on. I was too busy balling my eyes out after saw my heroes get robbed of their chance to play in the world cup. For most of them, it was their last opportunity which made the pain even worse

[Superjuniorbox15]

steve finnan is the man

[rayjlawlor]

Come on Ireland we can do it. Let's beat Estonia on Friday then take them at home and finally get to the euros. First time since 1988 was only 1 at the time need to c us there.

[MyThoughtsAreBelow]

Dodgy beard on Souness

[asheridan33]

john giles is as cool as a cucumber

[heldunder]

They wouldn't let Souness talk.lol

[hus20]

lmao shay given world class?

[Bazzer239]

@hus20 - Yes, Shay Given is World Class. What is wrong with that?

[TrueNegro]

It doesnt matter what league your players play in, England has loads of guys that have one everything in club football and theyre shit every year, sorry for the language. look at teams like croatia and turkey that have been great teams in international football in the last 15 years. anyway i hope ireland has another good generation and will get revenge over france. i am a francophile so it is not easy to say. respect from sweden fan

[dinkthroughball]

i think irish football has a bright future since this campaign ended

[khalood7scottlandi]

souness looks pretty badass with the beard.

[capricious71]

The RTE way of presenting is so funny.

[MickeyLynott]

Liam Miller should be in the squad.

[damo220]

@MickeyLynott Liam Miller?????? you aving a laugh

[bobsoice]

Shay Given was absolutely world class in his prime...I was praying he'd leave Man City in January but the fiasco goes on..

[irelandbacktoirish]

get rid of the old guard and start looking to our youth ,the young players playing in the premiership ,spl and in europe and then maybe we might see a good change for the irish team .

[MrStonecold69]

i bought Johnny's book

Excellent read

Highly Recomended

[killabuffalo]

I love the beard Souness is sporting looks

[mahoooney247]

@killabuffalo Haha it looks great alright. It was for 'Movember' - a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health.

[Freidlon7]

The performances of Italy and France in the World Cup show in reality how limited the Irish Players are. Two great footballing countries but both at their lowest point in their history and we couldn't take them out, unlike the Slovakians/Mexicans. We don't know how to play football and Robbie Keane is our Beckham figure - a media created myth. He missed so many sitters at vital points and spends most of the matches on his arse or waving at the ref. Irish soccer = GAA without using hands.

[SinAutor]

@Freidlon7 That is not true

[brendanholohan]

@Freidlon7 I was going to point out how many things are wrong with your moronic comments but then I remembered the old saying about never arguing with a fool....

[Freidlon7]

@brendanholohan No need to argue. Irish/English people don't know how to play football. It's very simple. We have hardly ever qualified for competitions. England haven't won something for over 40 years. How can you argue with the facts. We play the game with GAA mentality, physical, direct, possession not a priority, brainless. The Irish team are horrible to watch, as are the English. We're just a chip off the old block. I'd rather watch Mexico or Paraguay than Ireland. They can pass - WOW!!

[HIURNAMEISTOMMY]

Well all my fellow Irishmen and women we are all expecting a good qualifying campaign for euro 2012 and by God ! if I have to watch another sit back and defend display against every team we play in the group then I will literally crack up ! I`m expecting a well organised , disciplined and attacking side like against France and show these Russians and Slovaks that we won`t settle for 3rd place we want 1st and we got to believe we can get first ! get behind the team and show these bully nations !

[Equilibr1st]

@HIURNAMEISTOMMY Im sick of looking forward to qualifying campaigns, i want to look forward to a tournament. BAH! Also, by now we all know ireland are kings of sitting on 1-0 then conceding in the 89th minute. No one does it better than us

[irishdan2007]

ireland except for given and dunne are very average players, but under trappatoni are very well organised and i would back them to qualify

[conorcarmody07]

@irishdan2007

Keane?? Duff?? O'Shea? come on man.... ireland are not average, just not in the lime light as much as others

[Malbranque69]

@irishdan2007 That's a shockin' assessment. Keane, Duff, McGeady and especially Doyle are well above average. We always had one 'world class' player per generation (Giles, Brady, Paul McGrath, Roy Keane and now Shay Given)

[GallagherWellerBrown]

@Malbranque69 Aldridge, Heighway, Houghton, Whelan, Bonner, O'Leary?? I could go on...

[EoinGlynn903]

@GallagherWellerBrown I would say Bonner was the only one really world class there

[breda83]

@Malbranque69 Shay Given is not world class

[1800666666]

@breda83 shows what u no about football

[CeltiicFC]

@breda83 shut up you stupid,he was the best in the world at one time..

[AyeOkNowFuckOff]

I been watching the recent friendlies also................ MC SHANE gota go people please ffs!.,

[yesitslikethat]

these are very entertaing

[gazthebhoy]

Dunphy should get with reality,Trappatonni has his squad,and he's doing a fantastic job,obviously he's had a run in with andy reid,that happens in football,alex ferguson has chucked many a good player out of united for crossing him,van nistelrooy,stam,beckham to name a few.older managers are set in their ways,i think that ireland have a great chance to qualify for euro 2012,and traps the man to lead us there

[GoT2SpoNgE]

@gazthebhoy Trappatonni is Overlooking Quality Young Players Like , Clarke From Villa , Coleman Etc

[zimzima888]

@gazthebhoy One year on and Dunphy still has the same opinion and I think he's right. Do you still think the same now? He's obviously a great manager, he's proved it over the years but he thinks too little of us as a footballing nation and is to narrow minded in his tactics and squad selection if you ask me. I will shoot myself in the face if I have to sit through a match like that Armenia one tonight again. Trap out, no new contract!

[LedSexton]

good man Gilsey

[MrHopeTelevision]

trappatoni is a genius - souness is a mediocre manager - and the way he smugly laughed at a fellow professional Paul McShane is embarrassing...

[breda83]

O Herhilly has a weird funny accent lol lol

[AnySmokes]

okaley doke

[09290401]

ha boratHIGH u wer put in ur place when gibson fired two past tottenham..

[BoratHIGHFIVE11]

Gibson only plays in the champions league in meaningless matches and usually perfroms badly and im a united fan.Agree with everything else except Reid was not injured .

[ryanleahy1]

how do we lose everything france had 2 CHEAT 2 beat us.

[AussieJTFer]

They should just stick to gaelic football and hurling and all the other crap they do.

[mutinhead]

ya stick to showin yee how to play afl lol!

[shiznykid]

shutup mate I'd hardly call Australian Rules quality viewing and after the disgraceful performances that you guys show in the International Rules I'd shut my mouth if I were you.

[shanewkarmacoma]

YA, hurling being the fastest game in the world, hardly call it crap really.

[xxxharizafcxxx]

hurling is aloda bollix as is gaa in general

dont even get paid PMSL

AFC

[juddzer]

souness looks like he sleeps in the studio

[fibiotranti]

ireland keep losing .....in all fields

[teasey21]

yeah all fields... they're only the fifth best rugby team in the world and you're from where germany? 27th just ahead of kazakhstan, good on you!

[shiznykid]

how you guys doin in rugby there mate? doin as well as the Irish there?

[MammaZizou]

Trap must find these three half-wits rather amusing.

[mutinhead]

he might if he could speak english,grease ball

[Dave2bu]

Dunphy, ugh.

[kardel100]

Seems to me that maybe the panel are no longer qualified enough to comment on the team !

[Whyisthisthat]

Gibson is a waste of space

[TheDec0Drummer]

who is?

[clairexxbbz]

[IrishGodThe4th]
