"Christ, this has been really difficult to watch at times."
Future Senior Analyst alert: After a dire first half at the Aviva, Richie Sadlier announced himself on the big stage with a scathing takedown of Ireland's first half display.
Following a commercial break, Darragh Maloney opted not to open the floor to either of his two stalwarts on RTÉ's coveted panel, instead asking promising youngster in Sadlier if Ireland had been outplayed by Georgia in the first half.
In a watershed moment for his analytical career, Sadlier laid down a marker, succinctly lambasting the Irish performance - particularly their quote unquote attacking play following a woeful 45 minutes.
He concluded:
They're in the dressing room now - bear in mind they're the bottom-seeded team in this group - disappointed that they're not 2-0 up.
Watch it below:
The Panel may never be the same again. Welcome, Richie.
The Panel are on fire tonight, but Lord knows what to expect if Ireland's performance doesn't pick up in the second half.
