What a fucking result that is! Admittely on the verge of defecation during that last Irish chance off thebar.
Low quality game of football there. Scotland probably deserved it on the balance of things but some Ireland players just didn't show up. I think we can do Scotland at home, it will probably come down to who does better in the Poland games. Hanley could have had two red cards but definitely should have had at least one. He got away with that big time, the stupid ugly fat cunt.
I can't believe McGeady made it to the end of that game. He got a bit better in the second half but that wasn't hard, he was absolutely putrid in the first half.
Naismith is outstanding. Best Scotland player for a long time.
Big ups to Marshall too.
Naismith was a real pain in the hole tonight, won a lot in the air and held the ball up well. Shane Long was disappointingly much less of a pain in the hole at the other end, normally he's a bastard for unsettling defenders.
And Johnny Russell, oh wait
Naismith and Anya are fucking brilliant and what a goal. Great result

Shit game, class goal.
Scrappy, but still more entertaining than the likes of Barcelona pass about 73 times before they decide to shoot.
Goal is a peach, just recently I was mocking Maloney against Georgia. He has smashed his critics in the face.
That looked a little like Rooney tripped himself up. Unsurprisingly itv didn't dwell on it so I may be wrong
It's amazing how much more effective we are with a good manager. Last year some Welsh cunt was calling us the worst Scotland side ever but apart from losing Commons we're the exact same team. The Ireland and Poland games are going to be massive and I can't wait.
I thought it was a pen but yeah we didn't see enough replays.
He instantly appealed, so I assume some contact was made, but it's not conclusive one way or another from what I've seen.
Oh I'm not saying he cheated he probably did think there was contact. I thought it was in real time, replay not sure.
Welbeck had one of those days where he looks unstoppable.
Maloney is annoying. He could possibly be a great player if he wasn't a mental homesick wanker.
I'd suggest it's more injuries that have hampered Maloney not being homesick. He's had some terrible bangs.
This is unreal from Bale, Belgium haven't dispossessed him once and he's picking off their players like it's nothing. The touch and finish was top class too.
He's great. What the fuck was that from Nainggolan though?
Great stuff before the chance that Robson Kanu missed as well.
This is very very special.
Fuck up Forsyth at it already
Keane on before Long was interesting.
Jesus Christ that game was fucking desperate. Ireland have one Premier League striker and he spent 80 minutes on the bench watching Daryl Murphy lumber around like a semi-professional goat. You cannot qualify if you don't win your home games. MON needed to go for it and he blew it. He put out a team set out to not lose in a game Ireland simply had to win. He is no more progressive than Trappatoni, the first thought is always to secure the two banks in our own half than pump it long and play for set-pieces. It's fucking woeful stuff. You don't need great players to have a decent international team, it just takes a bit of intelligence and wit.
Two frankly shite teams. Ireland are a truly awful side but Scotland really don't look much better. Either of these teams would stink up a tournament. Scotland will take 3rd now but I don't see them getting through a play-off.
I thought Scotland would win that. I think Strachan got it wrong leaving Anya on the bench as he creates so much.
I've been a big fan of Fletcher but since his injuries he doesn't offer much beside tap ins now. I'd look at a fit Chris Martin for that role or even see if Mccormack could play up top alone though I'm not sure that'd work.
Delighted for Stuart Dallas making his first competitive start tonight
Peter Griffin will quote this but the more I see of the teams that will likely qualify is that there's every chance Wales go far next year. They've got the right mix of defensive solidity and throwing themselves at shots etc. to go with the star quality of Bale and Ramsey. I wouldn't be happy if England drew them at any stage.
Why in gods name would I quote that?
Out of Rhodes, Martin and your hero McCormack they do actually have some decent options to pick from besides Fletcher.
A shame O'Neill decided Alan Judge shouldn't make the squad. I can only assume he's too creative for his dinosaur brand of football.
I forgot about Rhodes. Fletcher is probably going to ride that Gibraltar hattrick for a while. I think Martin is the answer personally.
You can quote it when they don't win the Euros.
Do you really think I am that petty...you Bamford bummer.
I suppose you haven't been back to when I told you Mclaren was a wrongun.
To be fair I don't remember saying he was
How did laffs miss that!
Lafferty HAS to score that from there.
Healy would have put the keeper in the net with it from there
They could play till Christmas and it'd still be 0-0.
Yeah tbh it's not a bad result. Hungary have woken up. That's the fear now.
God bless John O'Shea's arse!
I'f Scotland win at least 3 of their remaining 4 games , they may have a small chance of 2nd. Georgia and Gilbraltar must-wins obv then beat at least one of Germany or Poland at home. Not impossible, but just can't see it. 3rd is more likely and even then there's stiff opposition in Germany, Poland and Ireland.

Weird to see. England played a qualifier and nobody even mentioned it in here.
Well it basically didn't matter did it, we only needed one win (plus the gimme against San Marino) to be sure of qualification. In a way that good win at Switzerland in the first game was the worst thing that could have happened because ever since then we've been more or less assured of qualification. Not the ideal preparation for a tournament.
Those goals from Wilshere were unreal. Can't believe how bad Rooney was.
Wilshere, Lallana and Delph I thought all played very well. The defence was awful. What has Clyne done wrong???
Lallana needs to develop some strength. Embarrassing seeing him shrugged off the ball so many times yesterday.
Lallana was brought on to offer what Welbeck would have. Welbeck has been crucial for England for a while now as he's the one player who with the majority of his touches in the final third is looking for a shot, assist or to take on a defender, without him everything is much slower.. Wilshere in that deeper role is great against teams who press higher because he will run the ball forward and take midfielders out of play but when teams sit deeper it might be better for Wilshere to be able to offer that further forward, though long term I think Wilshere is offering a heck of a lot in that position.
You been giving Ryan ideas, Griffin?Fulham midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe has been handed a two-game ban by the FA after posting a bizarre tweet aimed at Patrick Bamford.
The 22-year-old was accused of ‘aggravated misconduct by reference to sexual orientation' after comments posted on his Twitter account’ in the aftermath of Boro ’s defeat to Norwich City in the play-off final at Wembley.
The former Manchester United Academy graduate tweeted: “Happy that Middlesbrough didn’t go up, just for the main fact that @Patrick_Bamford is a sausage boy.”
The tweet has since been deleted from Tunnicliffe’s account.
Maybe I am Ryan Tunnicliffe.
Stop.
IN THE NAMMMMME OF LOVE
TAPS AFF!
The Welsh won't let a midfield of Dave Edwards and Andy King tonight stop them on their charge to the late knockout stages of next summer's tournament.
Croatia look very basic.
Scotland being shit right on cue. I said in June neither Ireland or Scotland looked any use whatsoever. That is a potentially disastrous result for them, but I'm not exactly confident of Ireland beating Georgia on Monday to take full advantage of it.
Makes it even more frustrating the set-up that MON chose at home to Scotland now with Murphy up front on his own. They are not a good team at all and there was no need to be so conservative.
Dallas needs to have a word with himself. First signing for Leeds and then that fucking goal.
Mcginn looks shitbags as well
I had to restrain myself from signing kyle in rff because I knew I would jinx it
I loved when he fell over the ball. Nice run and a great ball from Baird and he takes a tumble with his first touch.
Goals aside, feel like Mcauley has carried Evans tonight. Evans looks miles off the pace.
Yeah he's not played at a consistent level for 12 months minimum. Think he needs to shake off some rust
Norwood has a real touch of class about him.
Great set piece on him as well. Hoping the likes of Caolan Lavery will replace magennis soon enough. I know like for like josh is closest to kyle but he's also a very upsetting footballer 90% of the time
Kyle lafferty with just 6 goals in 7 qualifiers yet can't even get a game for Norwich reserves....lolz
Glad I was working instead of watching the Scotland game.
I love for Aaron Hughes to get his hundredth cap at the Euros.
I don't think the problem with Lafferty has ever been his ability. He should be a Premier League striker.
I know I'm biased because I've got Harry Kane in RFF but I don't get the logic in starting Jamie Vardy against San Marino. I understand his value as a player but surely you stick your goalscorers out there in this match. Kane could do with a couple for his confidence and that is surely more valuable than giving a start to someone who just works hard.
Yeah I thought it was weird too, a couple of free goals against San Marino would get him going. Then again maybe Hodgson's worried he's gone right over the edge and is so low on confidence he wouldn't score
Kane is used to being left on the bench by Vardy after their time together at Leicester.
I absolutely hate San Marino. I hope we murder them.
Vardy has been the better player of the two this season and it's an easy game so he gets to reward and inform player. Personally I would play the two together and leave Rooney out he's hardly needed tonight
Haha boom tings
Why the hell do you hate them?
Because they're so cynical and hopeless. The other minnows either try to play football (Gibraltar), or show some signs of improvement (Faroes). San Marino are worse now than they have ever been, they continue to see a 5-0 defeat as a positive result and they stick everyone behind the ball all match. I hate, hate, hate them.
Gibraltar are hilariously bad. I watched Ireland's home game against them and at times Hoolahan was beating their defenders at walking pace, often inside the box. Just completely hopeless.
Jesus fucking Christ, I've had to watch a lot of absolute shite in my time but seeing 4 central midfielders set up at home vs. Georgia in a must-win game is up there with the worst. Walters and Keane up front ahead of Hoolahan, Hendricks, Whelan and McCarthy. This is MON's attempt at "going for the throat", he has two forwards on and an attacking midfielder so he has to compensate by playing 3 holding midfielders, one of whom is incapable of anything other than backpasses from anywhere on the pitch (Whelan).
What does Shane Long have to do to get a start for Ireland? What has he done not to get a start for Ireland? Must have fucked every FAI director, MON and Roy Keane's wives. Why not play Hoolahan off Robbie Keane and play with two wingers? McGeady and McClean are no world beaters but these cunts have 3 at the back and wing-backs on, why not give them some width to deal with? It's such fucking bullshit. It's making me so fucking angry. I can't believe how flat this is.
It's because MON is a completely clueless simpleton, Cappy. I told Mik and he didn't believe me either. I warned you. I bloody warned you.
Fun action-filled first half between Scotland and Germany. Twice we've come back from the dead and a wee gem of an equaliser from McArthur.
Cmon!
Switch over to the Scotland game Cappy, it's fucking ace
We'll probably get pumped 6-2 now
Mental
Jeff Hendrick just channeled the spirit of Maradona and skinned 3 defenders to lay it on a plate for Jon Walters.
Good refereeing there. Tbf that was a fucking stupid tackle by baird but can you really show someone two cards like that?
Josh Magennis for Norwood. Michael mate what the fuck
Mccauley just embarrassed himself there
Laaaaaaaafffertyyuyyy
Fuck you Budapest counts yeeeoooo
Ireland are so fucking horrible to watch. Ended up watching Scotland instead.
They are terrible. If Scotland avoid losing to Poland they will take 3rd as Ireland will get 0 points from their last two games. The goal difference will be easy to swing. So it comes down to winning a home game for Scotland to get into the play-off. I don't think this Ireland team would come through a play-off and I'd be even less keen to see them play at a tournament than I was in 2012. It doesn't seem long enough since that terrible fucking experience to be thinking about going through it again.
I heard south Belfast erupt so I knew there had been an equaliser. That is Northern Ireland qualified, even if they manage to finish 3rd from here, they should go through as the best placed team.
Take your boots down sof and you might get a game tonight.
I am a better footballer than josh magennis
I'm a Will Grigg guy.
What the fuck does Leigh Griffiths have to do to get a start for Scotland.
i honestly have no idea. its absolutely disgusting the man should be starting fletcher is absolute dogshit and martin is english. i personally dont believe that steven naismith is good enough as in the lone striker role.
i think we're getting pumped tonight
TAPS AFF!
I hope Lewandowski annihilates Scotland tonight. Ireland are going to get drilled tonight and Sunday. Maybe a play-off would be too embarrassing.
Naismith must be the most under-rated player in the league. Fletcher's been shit for God knows how long. Doesn't he have a pathetic record for Scotland dating back to when he was still alright at PL level?
hes absolutely shite.
TAPS AFF!
