Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has ducked the controversy sparked by Hull City midfielder Stephen Hunt's criticism of Irish pundit Eamon Dunphy.
Given refused to become embroiled in the row, but said he felt Dunphy's comments were unfair.
He said: "The only thing I would say is that it was a real kick in the teeth to concede in the last minute. We just need to be more professional but shameful is not the word I would use.
"Before a ball was kicked we would have been delighted to have been in a situation where we don't even need a point from the last game.
"We've qualified for the play-offs and we have to take the positives and the beliefs from what we've done in the campaign so far and try and finish the group off with a victory, that would set us up for the play-offs.
"Some times people want to pick holes for the same of it and the manager does not get enough credit. It would be massive if we could get back to another World Cup and hopefully we can finish the campaign off on a winning note."
