Serbia v Ireland - WCQ 2021 - Gameweek 1

Time to relive the glory years under Jack here.

If we finish on the same points as Serbia but beat them 1-0 in Dublin, who goes through?

Probably goals for but that is a long way off yet.

Put on the 2019 Munster final instead mate.

Good for the soul.

Travers worse for 3rd goal than 2nd imo. Hesitated for first too, keeper cost us bafly

Did he even make a save tonight?

One decent save at the front post in the first half.

He did yeah deflected one out for a corner in 1st half from a narrow angle.

I don’t want to pile in but this is senior hurling and that keeper was responsible for defeat tonight. If the ref had given the peno when Connolly was taken out of it like he should have we could have been looking at a completly different result. Great to see our lads up for it, their commitment off the ball was superb throughout.

A couple of the older lads need to be ditched and Connolly needs to lay off the snackboxes but if we can maintain that level of performance throughout right this campaign we have a fighting chance

Tiebreaker is overall goal difference, then overall goals scored. If still tied, it comes down to results between tied teams, including away goals tiebreaker.

I think it’s points, goal difference in the group, then goals scored, then head to head. So we would need better overall goal difference first and the head to head only matters then if that’s level too

Ah shite.

Brian Kerr laying in a bit here

He made one at the near post at the end of the first half. One of the type that George tells us is a great save but in reality is one any competent keeper expects to make, you’d be asking serious questions if he let it in.

Cant believe the negatavity out of Kerr.

One thing - frequently when we play teams we are competing with they generally have a real X factor player -

Alaba - Erikksen - Tadic - Hamsik

We never have that

Maybe but a while back .

We’ve not had a proper midfield maestro since Chippy.
