I think I'd have let him go. It's not like this is a league game, where Ireland could look to hang on in with 10 men, grab a late equaliser, and walk home with a point. All that would achieve here would be ET, meaning another 30 mins with 10 men.
Let him go, and pray that he doesn't score. If he does, you're just as out of it as you are now.
If we beat Iceland & go through to play France, its going to be built up into a real spiteful encounter. We're like Millwall of the international game, & we should probably get used to that.
Could get ugly .
LOL .The media will not help, but I imagine people will be looking to cause trouble. Saying all that, Roys master plan is to get knocked out by Iceland anyway.......
Shame, but it was a tough one for Ireland.
Don't see why the France game will be any worse than it was before (if we get past Iceland)....the French have never liked us. There is a saying that you can be judged by your enemies....we should be proud the French don't like us.

No, we are paying him to love usHope that doesn't extend to our prospective new manager.....![]()
