FAI...New Manager is Heimir Hallgrimsson

[armaghniac]

What were the bookie odds for 2-0? Someone will have a good night.
We need more of the same against Hungary.

[general_lee]

Big ask to get a result away against Hungary. The red helped no end, not much to bring on from the bench and some lads looked out on their feet.

[AustinPowers]

That Idah is one lazy Hoor though. You'd swear he'd  just come off a shift down the mines. More energy in  a pound shop battery.

[Gael85]

Brilliant win. Will count for nothing if don't win Sunday. Deserved red for Ronaldo. If Martinez had any balls he bench Ronaldo.  Portugal going nowhere starting him.

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.

Yeah, that was a poor defeat.

Looking back now, it was a joke of a defeat.

Aremenia missed a sitter to draw against Hungary tonight !

So I heard. That could be the difference.

Plus they got a  late point v Portugal , and Ireland lost a late  point there.

[laoislad]

Just home from it.That was brilliant, some atmosphere, up there with Holland in 2001.
Ronaldo 

[Milltown Row2]

Great result, hopefully follow that up against Hungry, who are no Portugal

[Baile Brigín 2]

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.

His tactics were bonkers. Way too attack minded, that high line was clearly wrong from minute 1.

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Unbelievable result for Ireland

I said the exact same thing before the euros.

Martinez and Ronaldo holding back a golden generation of Portuguese players.

Martinez ruined the Belgium golden generation and could be about to do the same with Portugal.

Medium size nations like them two don't get crops of players like that too often.

Portuguese team that won euros hasn't a patch on the current squad.

[Dag Dog]

How does Martinez still get big jobs? He was found out a decade ago.

[gallsman]

The worst/best bit about it all is that Fernando Santos had the balls to drop him during the WC when Gonçalo Ramos scored the hat trick. That should have been the end of it but no, they caved completely.

[snoopdog]

Great result for Ireland.  Pity the defeat away to Armenia looks like killing us. Portugal were so poor though.
Hopefully Parrot remains the striker. I doubt ferguson would've scored 2 last night.
