Randolph again showing what a class keeper he is. Take the words ‘West Ham’ out of his CV and he’d be far more widely appreciated.

See you next Tuesday @RickyVilla

Poulsen seems to be the right tactic judging by the last ten minutes, if he can actually do better with his advantage.
I'm glad I never paid entrance money to watch that game though.

I hate it when players like Eriksen are wasted on the international scene. Let's be honest, that could have been a League 2 game, it was that bad.

I’d love to see my team at their first World Cup since 2002 but the fact it won’t enrich your summer is making me think again. Better off just having all the big nations and big players because they always show up at the major tournaments and never disappoint.

Yeah, like I said, I want Denmark to win because their population is 700k bigger than Ireland’s.

We won’t get away with this again. Too risky to try and play on a knife edge on Tuesday. Sure, we’ll defend, but we need 2 goals* over the 180 minutes to do this and 90 of this are gone.

*Most of our great results are 1-0

N Ireland have got no choice but to have a bit of a go at this, so should make for a lively game.

Switzerland have already wasted theee great chances.

I’m 21 minutes in, it’s like I’m listening to radio Belfast.

“I’d love to see the possession stats for NIreland”

“It’s 40%”

“Well that’s magnificent”
