Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes?

Nah i know what you mean, the performance McGeady supporters have been waiting for, i bet Dunphy will still have a go at him.

Hunt on is just what we need.

eclectichoney

Great performances from Duff, McGeady and Doyle tonight. And good solid work by Andrews.

Just keep attacking guys and don't let them get hold of the ball.

Can someone give descriptions of the goals, at work! Was sweating it there. we need to win this one! with 2 bulgaria game to come

Mr.Nice Guy

A win here shouldn't disguise the fact that Whelan is a shocking weak link in the team. Get Carsley back!

Mikeyt086

Seriously Glen Whelan is an awful footballer. I hate how this result might sugar-coat his disgraceful performance.

chillywilly

can anyone give me a link or tell me the dates of the rest of our fixtures?

whatawaster

Andrews looks very solid. Whelan is completely out of his depth.

Duff

Whelan out, McAteer in!

0 - 1 Shocking defending by Stephen Kelly which allowed a Georgian to score

1 - 1 Penatly which wasn't deserved, scored by Keane.

2 - 1 Corner, Keane, it of his shoulder after missing header.

Pighead

Jesus this is nervewracking stuff. Never easy with Ireland! Fair play to them in the second half. Non stop attacking.

The1337_Stephen

Lets just hope we can have Finnish officials all the way to the final, woo woo!

andrews has had a very solid game

fair play to him

i think my dog knows whealan is sub standard at this stage

eclectichoney

I agree Carsley and Andrews could be a decent midfield.

This needs to be said. He's got about, looked to get forward and make things happen - and been competent in possession. Good shift.

Sorry, our pen doesnt mask the perfect goal we had dissallowed, and the pen we had turned down.

If this guy refs a game again... Then may god have mercy on us all.

hunt come on

Yeah they have been an absolute disgrace

IvySlayer

Another great shot by Whelan (!)

ntlbell

get off pls get off the pitch ffs

LuckyLloyd

I guess the only positive about Whelan's performance is the fact that he can't possibly play any worse. It's all uphill from here so to speak.

Duff

Why the F**k out of all the players on the pitch would Whelan be allowed take that free kick?

Don't think he's a homer, just ****.

I'm pretty sure thats the only reason we got that penalty in the end. A cracked up blind man could see that wasn't a penalty.

chillywilly

juvenal

Sums up Whelan's night.

Poor decision making, inability to make basic bread-and-butter passes, lack of presence, and just looked out of his depth at this level.

And then slots a free kick over the bar like he's lining out for the Dubs. Worst Irish player by a bit, with Stephen Kelly not inspiring confidence either.

Contrast to Andrews, looked very solid, wanted to attack and had an air of confidence about his game. Put himself about well and used the ball intelligently. Very decent game.

Aidan McGeady MOTM.

Requiem4adream

Andrews shoulda got MoM imo...McGeady hmmm. Then again Jim Beglin ,.....

Mikeyt086

McGeady gets man of the match. Deserved.

Well done Aiden.

Google is your friend.

4 mins added time. McGeady MOM. Deserved in my opinion.

Craft25

Oh I'm sure he can play worse. That's the great thing about watching this Ireland team, you're forever surprised by the depth to which they can slump.

LuckyLloyd

Super take from Given. Super.

We were extremely lucky tonight
