    Serbia's second was a lovely team goal. These two seem streets ahead of the rest, though they've only recorded one-goal wins so far
    Didn't think Serbia were streets ahead of us last Wednesday to be fair. Beat us as you'd expect but it was a pretty competitive game.

    Azerbaijan made 10 changes to the team that played in Turin and will be fresh for Tuesday's game. I think a trip to Baku is the last thing Serbia need after 2 full on games v Portugal and Ireland in 3 days. It's anything but a slam dunk.

    There were about ten seconds to go and the next break in play was full-time.

    It wasn't well over the line, but it was a goal. It seems Ronaldo himself might have been in the linesman's line of sight. Which raises the question as to where the fifth official was? Or are they gone now?

    I thought technically they were way ahead of us, but yeah, they didn't really create a huge amount, though I thought they had another gear they didn't find. I think we were a bit flattered to score twice because we created very little really. I wouldn't be surprised to see Serbia/Portugal beat everyone else home and away.

    Jeez a justified huff to be fair. Whatever about the mad VAR situation, it ridiculous that they don't have goalline technology for matches of this importance, not to mention Ronaldo's individual mission in chasing down Ali Daei's goal record. That probably upset him more than the two dropped points.

    I think you don't get to be as good as Ronaldo has been without the two points dropped absolutely galling you.

    Of course, just a bit of tongue-in-cheek.

    My theory of Serbia struggling in Baku already out the window. Serbia 1-0 up after 15 mins thanks to Mitrovic who has scored as many goals this week for Serbia (4) as any Irish player has for the last 4 years.

    Mitro is some goal machine in a Serbian shirt in fairness to him. Tadic with the assist again.

    1-1 now.

    Gerson scored for Luxembourg - same guy who scored against us

    Diego Jota for Portugal; his third of the campaign.

    2-1 Portugal - Ronaldo. Moves him to within 6 of the all-time (male) scoring record

    We're off the bottom of the group - and on goals scored too, ironically!

    Imagine how many he'd get if he was in-form.

    A bit lightweight and lacking specifics, but fwiw, today's clickbait from RTE - 6 ways to help Ireland qualify for major soccer finals again.

    The league of Ireland should be taken off the fai. They dont want it and it shows. Set up a domestic league board and fund them property at government level. I mean millions. Literally multiple of millions . No sane minister would give the fai the end of their cigarette. But a new unconnected non criminal entity would be worth the investment

    On the tannoy in Lansdowne after the last game, they announced that they were going on sale today. No sign though. Possibly delayed because of the government announcement
