    Excuses are warming up nicely already.

    Promising performance, great positives bar a couple of GK errors.

    I think we’ve been ok and have defended well for the amount of possession Serbia have had.

    Lack of creativity is still frightening though.

    Look at the squad. We have all mentioned how bad the quality of the Irish squad has been over the years, but this is the worst I have ever seen it.


    We use to give off about the lack of Irish players playing for Champions Leagues clubs, we are now happy if they are playing Championship football.

    If you see that second goal without watching any of the match you say it's an unreal goal, and don't put too much blame on the keeper. But I must admit, Travers has looked shaky and nervous all night. He's been in questionable positions and just looks uncomfortable. (Strange decision for the first goal, but not blaming him for it). The chap is only 21 though, and it is his competitive debut, so you have to feel for him.

    3-1 doubts about the keeper. Hard on him getting thrown in there

    Experienced keepers wouldn't be in that position

    He's been thrown in there because we've no one else. How did Kelleher get injured, he hasn't been playing much?

    How come var isn’t in the qualifiers? Something to do with fifa tournaments vs uefa or something?




    If I were to guess it might be because in some confederations they cannot/have not implemented VAR yet so to have a level playing field it cannot be used anywhere.

    This is disappointing as we started well and there are definitely (pardon the pun) green shoots.

    We pretty much had to not lose this game to stand any chance of qualifying realistically. Oh well.

    Where was the keeper going? You could see that a mile off

    V. Valdez got done by Ramieres in the UCL semi final at home n he was about 5 yards from him. Good spot by Mitrovic and great piece of skill.

    Tadic is pure class
    Mitrovic is a striker we can only dream of

    It was two against one for that header. We need to do better there.

    Bazuna has been playing regularly, I would have given him the nod.

    Got injured in training about a month or so ago, tore something in his stomach. He’s close to being back fit, but just not there yet.
