Dominik Szoboszlai’s Hungary were denied a play-off spot by Ireland (Picture: Getty) Kevin Doyle has landed himself in hot water with Liverpool supporters for scolding Dominik Szoboszlai after Ireland staged an incredible late fightback against Hungary to keep their World Cup dreams alive. But Heimir Hallgrimsson’s men still required victory on Sunday to progress – and their chances were dealt a major blow as Barnabas Varga’s stunning strike restored Hungary’s lead after earlier efforts from Parrott and Daniel Lukacs.

Parrott was Ireland’s hat-trick hero in Budapest (Picture: Getty) Szoboszlai appeared to troll Ireland fans after Varga’s strike (Picture: RTE) But it was what Doyle said in the immediate aftermath which has caused a stir amongst Liverpool fans, who have since come out in support of their man Dominik Szoboszlai. ‘Ah, suck on that you Liverpool c***!’ Doyle yelled while gesturing towards the television screen in the studio. ‘Sorry, Didi,’ Doyle, a lifelong Manchester United fan, can then be heard saying to former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann. WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE It would appear Doyle’s comments were made in response to Szoboszlai seemingly mocking Ireland supporters following Varga’s goal to put Hungary in front in Budapest.

The Irish will discover their semi-final opponents on Thursday (Picture: Getty) Asked how much his heart ached after the loss, the Hungary captain bluntly replied: ‘Very much.’ On the match demonstrating just how cruel football can be at times, Szoboszlai simply responded: ‘It looks like it, yes.’ Ireland fans will be watching on with interest when the draw for the World Cup play-offs is made on Thursday.
