Better performance but another goal would make it safe
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Top of the group some crazy results elsewher. Much better performance esp first half but end product is rubbish

Capt Pat

The Swiss were 3-0 up against Denmark late in the game and it ended 3-3. So we are now top of the group.

Nothing but positives there! Great to watch an Irish team play football!

Great performance,  would have been nice to get a few more goals but some of their play tonight was excellent.  Big Mick showing up O'Neill and Keane for the spoofers that they are.
McClean was brainless at the end not running it into the corner.

Are you for real? A better performance than the one against the worst team in the fifa rankings. But had O'Neill got same result there would have been balloons complaining

It was chalk and cheese compared to any of the home performances under O Neill in the last two years to be fair.
Could have conceded near the end it's true but think the win was deserved unlike the last time we played them here when they played us off the pitch.

I think the difference is we should have won that confortably whereas the last few times against Georgia we were very lucky to get the draw last time and wins the previous times. McGoldrick played very well but looks like he could have played for a week and still not scored

 Good performance and deserved another goal or two. Great to see an Irish team try to be positive. They don't have the players but I'd rather they gave it a go and lost than play the shite o Neill had them play. Btw, Georgia are decent enough

What club does McGoldrick play for?

Was there a minute silence? Missed the start.

Sheffield United. There was a moments appreciation before game.

Short memories on here.  I am glad oneill is gone but he gave us some fantastic nights and a great tournament at Euro 2016.  Just went stale at the end.
Good to see Ireland playing football alright.  Good first half and poor second but I'll take the 3 points.  Bit of time now to the next game allowing Mick to work on things.  Hopefully be able to fit Doherty in somewhere.

Milltown Row2

Will every close free kick bring out the tennis balls?

Duff says the tennis ball protest almost allowed Georgia score as they had a chance in the time added on because of the protest.  :o

Yes O'Neill gave us some great nights and squeezed out some decent results. His methods were copped and there was no plan B. No shame it that. At least he had a plan A that worked most of the time.
