Ireland nerves in tatters at half-time

Phew - got to half-time and no score in the game between Belgium and the Republic of Ireland.

Given how the first half played out, most Ireland fans are relieved not to have conceded.

It was a loooong 45 minutes.

Belgium had by far the better of the chances and there has been some heroic defending from Ireland

And a LOT of people aren’t happy with the ref

Fingers crossed for the second half.
