Bringing on Green was like taking the piss out of Ireland fans. Gibson isn't great but at least he's a Premier League midfielder who can play a bit, yet he was sat on the bench. Wes Hoolahan is another sat at home. James McCarthy's dad is sick, but I imagine if he'd actually had a realistic chance of ever playing in Ireland's midfield under Trapp that he may have come along.

Ireland's squad selection is a fucking joke and we got what we deserved for serving up a shower of shit. This sort of beating has been coming for two years and it's humiliating that it's come at a tournament.
