Interesting that Latvia are 2-1 up on Switzerland.

Ouch. The poor Scots. Most likely that will be the lowest second place team anyways.

Again! Like Given for us. Must be at least 4-5 certain goals he's saved for them in this group that other keepers wouldn't.

Every little helps, but he's not the player he used to be anyway.

Bulgaria are exposing Italy in the second half big time, Buffon keeping them in it. (apart from the 2 goal lead obviously).

Bulgaria's build up play is far too slow. Shame, because they can pass the ball well.

Hit the f*cking post, this is so frustrating to watch. Really think we could have given Italy a game if they had drawn tonight.

Bulgaria should have scored there, hit the target FFS

He'd offer more than Berbatov, even now!

Italy defend like Tyrone, give away a nothing foul or take man out off the ball without fouling, anything to break up any momentum.

eduardo scored for croatia - I noticed that paddy power were offering refunds on bets on that match if he got the last goal

Assume NI lose, what are their chances of a play off???

Solsjkaer and Sheringham required at this stage.

Is a draw enough now in one of our last 2 games?

Goal difference or what?

I wonder will our game against Italy turn into a bit of a non event now with both teams happy to play out a nil nil

Anybody else think (or care) that the ref had a stinker tonight? Gave the Italians everything they were looking for as usual.

Hope not. Shouldn't be a foregone conclusion just yet. We beat them and anything, no matter how unlikely, could happen on the last day.

I'd hate to be relying on a point in the last game so I'd much prefer to try and win against Italy to guarantee the spot. They can have their point at home to Cyprus after that (unless the Cypriots can do us a favour).

Don't know whether to be disappointed or delighted. Off-topic, Jim Beglin commentating on England game. Would it actually kill him to actually mention Italy v Bulgaria game?

Disappointed. As someone else mentioned apart from the effect on next month's game it also means we look back with even more regret on Kilbane's two og's.

1 Italy .............8 5 2 0 11 3 +10 20
2 Rep of Ireland. 8 4 4 0 10 6.. +4 16
3 Bulgaria .........8 2 5 0 10 5.. +3 11
4 Cyprus .......... 8 1 2 4 7 11 ...4 _6
5 Montenegro.... 8 0 4 3 6 12 ..-6 _5
6 Georgia ......... 8 0 3 5 4 11 ..-7 _3

10/10/09 Montenegro - Georgia Georgia
10/10/09 Cyprus - Bulgaria
10/10/09 Republic of Ireland - Italy
14/10/09 Republic of Ireland - Montenegro
14/10/09 Italy - Cyprus
14/10/09 Bulgaria - Georgia

I think that's right, we need 2 points to guarantee qualification, one is not enough because of goal difference.
09/09/2009, 8:57 PM

Just the one OG - the other was a defensive mix-up (to be polite)

Beglin will never mention us - knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Beglin is a boring arsehole anyway.

Pirlo was looking good tonight. If he's in that kind of form next month we're going to have our work cut out.

Penalty not given away to Montenegro for me. Most blatant handball I've ever seen. Know we got a soft one against Georgia but still....
