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

Craft25 · 11-02-2009 10:37PM

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.

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 · 11-02-2009 10:39PM

Super take from Given. Super.

~Rebel~ · 11-02-2009 10:40PM

keane has still been really poor imo. Did well in his movement for the second goal alright, even if he didn't manage to actually get his head on it. But for a player who's main role is a creative one, he's added very little to the team. Very whiney and poor first touch most of the time. Still, delighted he got the 2goals, might raise his confidence and produce better performances in the future

Duff · 11-02-2009 10:40PM

2-1 FT.

credit where its due. Excellent second half performance and some good individual displays.

Holsten · 11-02-2009 10:41PM

Terrible, totally undeserved win.

Doyle, Andrews and McGeady fantastic.

Kelly, Whelan... well...

Well, we were really ****ing unlucky too. (1st half)

Although it was 2 dodgey 2-1 wins. We took 6 points from Georgia. If we continue and take 6 from Cyprus then that is qualifying form.

Joint top lads. Spare a smile.

LuckyLloyd · 11-02-2009 10:41PM

Phew. Great second half performance it has to be said. I think we deserved to win on balance, irrespective of how the first came.

whatawaster · 11-02-2009 10:42PM

Sorry. Double post.

joe123 · 11-02-2009 10:43PM

Very lucky tonight but great to have the result over. Mcgeady was brilliant.

Maybe trappatoni will see now that Whealan isnt good enough.

eclectichoney · 11-02-2009 10:44PM

I'll cry if Whelan plays against Bulgaria

Sherifu · 11-02-2009 10:45PM

Will take it.

you'd hope so, but i fear the only way he is dropped is if Reid comes back to fitness.

I can quite easily imagine S Ireland coming back and him picking Whelan instead of him.

Duff · 11-02-2009 10:45PM

Very, very lucky tonight. That said we got what we needed, 3 points and joint top.

ParkRunner · 11-02-2009 10:46PM

Hooray, €50 bet at half time for ireland to win

The1337_Stephen · 11-02-2009 10:46PM

Shambolic first half, slow and unsustained, Georgia outplayed us...

Then... Excellent second half, players like Doyle, Duff, Mcgeady and Andrews were stellar. Fair play lads, you pulled your socks up and made it count when it was needed. Sure we were damn lucky, but judging off the 2nd halfs performance, we deserved to get a couple of goals.

Needs to get rid of Whelan.. I feel sorry for Kelly, i don't rate him extremely highly, especially after tonight.. But then again i don't rate McShambles, so...

Need improvements, but 3 points is 3 points... and we'll take it

TripleAce · 11-02-2009 10:46PM

Very well done to Ireland....result is all that matters!

whatawaster · 11-02-2009 10:48PM

what's the story with S Reid? Out for the season?
