But McGeady isn't going to start in Wales either because he gets a goal in the last 10 mins, so isn't that a wasted sub as well??

He'll probably feature at some stage as a sub so he's worth a run out.

I don't get the logic of giving match time to Maguire but he's on so hopefully he gets off the mark.

Ireland might fancy winning this Group now.

A Serbia draw with Georgia would see Wales top if they beat us.

We would need Georgia to beat Serbia.

So if Wales go ahead on Monday, Long still can't hit a barn door and we need goals your answer is Aiden McGeady over Maguire?

He's still playing championship clubs every week regardless of where his own club is.

I know. We had him for 5 wretched months at Wednesday in the championship

McGeady reminds of that lad we all went to school with who wouldnt pass the ball and try to do everything themselves

No, I think we will play one striker against Wales. Probably Murphy after tonight. And if Murphy doesn't score I'm sure Long will be the replacement O'Neill turns to. I can't see Maguire or Hogan featuring against Wales in any capacity.

McGeady has a chance of coming on as a sub as he did away to Austria so it makes sense to give him a run out.

Yeah... the guy who, even though he was brilliant, you kind of hoped was on the other team so you'd at least get to kick a few lumps out of him.

I bet you arent really good at playing football manager or the likes :pac::pac::D:D:p:p+

Lol 3-2 Austria

Stupid from the lad but not great from Arter either

Diabhal Beag

Arter had no need to dive. It was already a red. I hate that ****e.

Bret Hart

Pathetic from Arter. Still a red.

He was stupid to give arter the option but that was pathetic.

2-0 up and we stopped playing

a good team would win 5-0

Mahony0509

Jesus Christ Arter...

ThunbergsAreGo

Horrible from Arter, he can feck right off with that. Needs to be called out

Mr.Nice Guy

Job done. Pity Long couldn't get the confidence boost. Dilemma for MON over what striker to play against Wales.

Hopefully we can get the job done in Cardiff as well.

Set piece and Duffy header. Don't need a striker

Laois_Man

Serbia at home to Georgia last game. I don't think they'll make a mistake there surely!

quarryman

What are the permutations for Monday folks?

Howard the Duck

Messy performance but not a bad result. Wales weren't great today we will get chances against them for sure. I predict a Shane Long wondergoal :P

McGeady has scored a few goals for ireland this campaign. We can't be sure that Maguire would score.

In relation to the substitution we were been over run at the time and new midfielder was needed

When Long stops playing his heart out getting in to go positions and taking his shots then we should worry

FatherTed

So if we beat Wales by say a goal and then Serbia draws with Georgia, do we lose out on 1st place due to goal difference?

PTH2009

job done

we cant play like we did in the 2nd half on Monday

be some laugh if Serbia lost and we won monday

I feel sorry for Long. He missed three chances but he was under pressure each time. It would have been nice to see him get one.

Banjaxed82

Shane Long...............................we may only get one chance.

Serbia are at home to Georgia, we have no control over that game and neither does Wales. The fact that we could top the Group now or that Wales could top the Group if an unlikely draw or defeat was to happen in Serbia makes no difference whatsoever. Both Ireland and Wales will be going for the win on Monday

We were so bad.

If that's the case then great game management tonight by Ireland not to score at least 3 more goals.

Why feel sorry for him his job is to put the ball in the net but the fact is he is one of the worst strikers we have ever had in terms of goalscoring

Brillant first half, poor 20/30 minutes second half till the subs came on and put some energy back in the game

It's international football. Generally players are under pressure. One goal in 42 games and that was against Moldova. I'm not sure there's a lot to defend after those misses.

I don't think he has? Last goal was v Georgia in the Euro qualifiers. 5 goals in 91 appearances.

He's one of the best actually. Stop making a fool of yourself.
