    This obligatory presidential handshake shíte is a serious atmosphere killer. Get the lads out, play the anthems and get on with it!

    Seems to be a plan of Brady freekick/corner to Murphy's head. Little else.

    Forsyth at LB looks lost. We need to target him.

    Strachan looks like a cross between Gordon Ramsey and Roy Hodgson.

    Its working in fairness. I have a feeling the game plan is push the corners.

    Ronnie Whelan is difficult to listen to. His "logic" on the tackle on Naismith there was mind-boggling.

    If Ireland go on to win, he'll be applauding McCarthy going in hard on Scott Brown early on, I guarantee you. Won't be a "stupid tackle" then.

    I dream of watching big matches where someone like Jonathan Wilson is co-commentating and you get explanations of tactical switches and their possible intended effects. The culture in football is to give ex-players the gig as they have been there done that etc. Sound logic but, Neville etc aside, it transpires that ex-players can be as bad if not worse to listen to than some goon down the pub.

    Ireland are playing really well when they get and keep possession here, a lot of assured looking passes and pressing.

    Good show so far.

    Whelan spotted a green jersey amongst the 5th row of seats there and picked him out with a pinpoint pass.

    Ronnie Whelan lambasting Hutton for utilising foreign tactics. Hutton is foreign ya thick.

    So far, I think Ireland have been swinging the blade but the edge is a bit dull.

    The obsession with Hoolohan is bizarre IMO. He's not even a first choice player for Norwich and is far from the saviour some think he is.

    It's even more bizarre when people say they don't see the difference he makes. He's not a saviour but his effect on the team is big.

    Ireland have not played too badly so far but look to have the cutting edge of a sherry trifle up front.
