The first goal was a savage strike. Well done to him. I agree with Hamann in not to get overly carried away however after one positive result.

Enjoyable game even if dead rubber. Hopefully some of the other young Irish born players of Nigerian heritage like Mipo Odubeko and Armstrong Okoflex, who are stalling, are watching how Bazuno, Omobamidele, and Ogbene are thriving, and realise their future is with Ireland, too. Robinson should always be a starter, one of our classier players. Still very disappointed that we dropped what on paper looked like some easy points. Really should have at least been in contention for 2nd spot in a group like that. But hopeful for next qualifiers.

Didi always talks sense, lets beat qatar and lux then hopefully big sam won't have to come to the rescue

or worse, neil lennon

i hadn't ever thought of Lennon in connection with the FAI senior team, it's possible he might be up to it but that's not a question of the day is it, so why mention it?  Like many other Irish fans fed up with dross I want the current Kenny project to  succeed and am patient.

Recently the team won 5 out of 31 matches, beating low hanging fruit.
This goes back before Kenny. There was also a stretch of 11 hours without scoring..
Beating Luxembourg is a must. To see if things have actually improved we would need to beat a decent team..

That's the aim but this team is still only as good as the sum of its part which is pretty much championship level, we don't have the right to look down our noses at any team or to expect victories against decent teams. Its was a step in the right direction yesterday, nothing more.

We are ranked 40/55, down from 37

The unfortunates below us are NI, Albania, Armenia, Faroes, Malta, Georgia, Liechtenstein,  Estonia, Wales, Gibraltar,  Iceland, Montenegro, Andorra, San Marino

We have beaten Wales, Gibraltar,  Georgia , Moldova and now Azerbaijan since the start of 2017.
Azerbaijan are ranked 28. Moldova are now ranked 33.

It's the strength of their home leagues. Not sure what the relevance is to this specific topic.

Two different coefficients. One is national team. One is league. We are above Wales and the 6 in both.
