Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman described Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Luxembourg in their Group A World Cup qualifier as a shocking and embarrassing result.
The Killybegs man gave a typically honest interview to RTÉ Sport after collecting the Player of the Match award from the national broadcaster.
Coleman said the responsibility for the loss lay with the players - not manager Stephen Kenny.
