If Republic of Ireland win the last 2 games will they make the play offs ?
50/50 at this stage. Weāll have ten second place points going into the Wales game which would probably have us bottom of the league. But thereād be a few around us only a point or two ahead so youād just need one slip up

Wales have to go to Georgia .
Wales results are more or less irrelevant to us at this stage. Weāll absolutely have to beat them now regardless to get the points for the second place table
We are not going to be a side which has 60% possession or that dominates play but we shouldnāt be a team which is thoroughly outplayed and has 20% possession in a half against the likes of Georgia either.
The retention of the likes of Whelan and Long in the side despite their ineffectiveness and the performances of more effective players Meyler and Murphy when they have gotten game time and should be starting is extremely disappointing and even more so when Longās best form for Ireland has come off the bench.
The likes of Hendrick and Brady who we should be looking to build around and make key players for us seem to have to play a different role in every game they play and they havenāt built on the potential they showed at the euros due to this lack of continuity

Dunphy has mellowed.
Fair enough but if say they draw in Georgia then we need a draw in Cardiff to finish second . Am I right in saying a draw in Cardiff means we wonāt get a good enough second ?
Nah just had a few bottles.
Tipp lads really canāt follow association football games properly.

Ireland will be doing well to beat Moldovia
Continuity was one thing which Trap was good at, perhaps to the detriment of the team at times.
But he had a set way of playing and kept that through friendly matches subbing in first and second replacements as necessary due to injuries. I always thought it was badly needed post Staunton.

Blame lies with the manager.
OāNeillās negative philosphy has been rumbled and heās luck until now seems to have run out.
You are, although in a scenario where Wales drop points in Georgia we could draw with Moldova and beat Wales and it would have no effect on our points total as Moldova will (most likely) be last.
Actually thereās an unlikely series of results that would see Moldova lose to us and beat Austria, while passing out Georgiaās goal difference who donāt win either of their matches and our results against Georgia donāt count and weāve an extra two points in the 2nd place table
Piece on what a brilliant chap David Meyler is finishes with a clip of him clearing the ball straight to a Serbian.
