FAI...New Manager is Heimir Hallgrimsson

[Gael85]

Portugal will win this. Referee will bow to pressure of Ronaldo and co.

[Captain Obvious]

Reeks of arrogance off the Portuguese lads who are left stunned to find themselves 2-0 behind.

[Capt Pat]

As long as Ronaldo is on the pitch Ireland will win. He is not what he once was.

Yep. Should be 3.

If their manager had any balls Ronaldo would be off.

[Armagh18]

Has to be Red

[Armagh18]

Only one number 7 tonight.

[Blowitupref]

Red for Ronaldo another big boost for Ireland.

They'd prefer to play with 11.  Need to beat Hungary away.

Group F table as it stands (GD)

1 Portugal (+5) 10pts

2 Hungary (+2) 8pts

3 Ireland (+1) 7pts

4 Armenia (-8) 3pts

[Captain Obvious]

Good win shows what this Irish side are capable of when they rightly apply themselves however the Armenia loss will still likely prove very costly.

[weareros]

Great stuff. The pity is we dropped those points away to Armenia, but still alive. Great to see Parrott fulfill his potential in a green shirt.

[AustinPowers]

Seamus Coleman, brilliant.

But they all  did well.

A big performance needed  on Sunday.

The two biggest  weak links for Portugal is  Martinez and Ronaldo. In that order.

[Capt Pat]

Clever taking Parrott off early. Another 90 minutes to be played on sunday. Never in doubt after Ronaldos departure.
