19 - Republic of Ireland have scored 19 goals in 12 internationals in 2021, one more than they scored in 27 games across 2018, 2019 and 2020 combined before this (18 goals). Prolific.

Best win from an Irish team this weekend...

[seafoid]

3 nil is nice

That's changed the table significantly, Portugal getting bate!

[Captain Obvious]

Finished ahead of Luxembourg in the group thanks to that win tonight. In the other game Portugal played for a draw and end up losing. Serbia top the group a play off for Portugal.

Yeah the game of two bald men fighting for a comb was quality

[SHEEDY]

Yes it was only Luxembourg but Ireland played some great stuff in that last 30 mins, Ogbene and Bazunu are future for this team. Delighted for Stephen Kenny, I would've had doubts about him but he looks like he's starting to get us in the right direction, good finish to the group.

With the decisions Portugal got from the officials against the Irish, there's something very satisfying seeing them beat by a last minute goal against Serbia this evening.

Good to see a couple of well worked creative goals. Great awareness by Knight for both of them. 9 points still a poor return in a group like that but heading in right direction and Kenny has given youth it's chance. Will have a settled team for Euro qualifiers.

[Itchy]

Delighted for Stephen Kenny and the lads. It was far from perfect but how nice to see some lovely well worked goals. Onwards and upwards.

[Capt Pat]

Whatever decision they make I hope they don't make it based on games that didn't count. I am happy with the win tonight and results are improving but Kenny still has to prove himself in games that count. The nations league should be used to determine if Kenny continues in the job.

[Milltown Row2]

The nation league is an avenue into the playoffs, it should be taken seriously
