1-0 good cross and Ferguson couldn't miss that.

[GTP]

Poor since they scored (and before that)

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Had all the momentum should be really pushing for a second but it's all a bit ugly

[Blowitupref]

That's the 2nd top class save by the Armenia goalkeeper.

1-0 it finishes. Elsewhere Portugal 2 Hungary 2.

That's the 2nd top class save by the Armenia goalkeeper.

I think they said he conceded 7 in previous 2 games and he'd be a bit shaky. But he's been very decent.

Hungry sneaking a draw at the death doesn't help

Hungry sneaking a draw at the death doesn't help

No it does not... up to that Portugal had qualified and would have came probably half hearted to Dublin.
Not to mention the 1 point got by Hungry!

[Truthsayer]

Ket... can't see qualification and in very unlikely event of a play-off would need to meet a very poor team to progress. God be with days..

[Captain Obvious]

First home win in a World Cup qualifier since beating Moldova 2-0 eight years ago.

Portugal   only realistically need a home win v Armenia  in  the last game to qualify, so they  might still come to Dublin half hearted.

Portugal are no big  shakes (although they're clearly better than Ireland) , but a 1-0 for Ireland is not  beyond  the realms of possibility. 

If Armenia draw or beat Hungary at home , then it's  a winner takes all situation in Budapest for  the play off spot.

We really needed Portugal to win tonight and let us beat them in Dublin. Our chances of a playoff look slim now. We will need 2 wins in the next 2 difficult games.

Portugal 3rd string would beat Ireland. Maybe Armenia will take points off Hungary in Armenia and then it's a winner takes all in the last game. But Hungary are a much better team than Ireland.

[Dag Dog]

Sums it up really! Ireland are third rate nowadays.

[weareros]

We scrambled a point at home against 10 man Hungary and scrambled a win at home against 10 man Armenia. Winning against Portugal at home and Hungary away, ah sure no bother.

[Pub Bore]

Result aside, that performance was absolute shit on a stick.  The inability to retain possession against 10 men ranked 106th or something in the world was frightening. Some of those Irish players can't pass the ball 5m.
