2-2. Good result. Could have been better but very easily could have been much worse.

Bizarre game. Martin O’Neill is a lucky general.

The Serbs are shit, no one will fear them. A lot tougher tests to come

It was obvious from the moment they went one up they were going for a draw. Didn’t have a fucking clue what to do after they went ahead.

2-2 away draw to open up.

Such results in Belgium in 1986 and Holland in 2000 were the prelude to successful qualification campaigns.

Two points dropped there. Serbia are dogshit and both Wales & Austria will win in Belgrade.

Very good point.

Performances matter little early on in these groups. Everyone is in a heap. These games are a weird time really within the season.

Did Serbia beat Wales there a few months ago?

Exactly.

When the Serbs finish 2nd last in the group and Wales and Austria take 6 points from them, we’ll look back at this thread.

I’m going to anyway. I don’t have any problem with playing long ball stuff, it would have been foolish to play it along the deck in our own half against these lads.

I do have a problem with playing a lad who can’t hold up the ball up front playing long ball when we have a much better option on the bench. Quinn was a good sub in fairness which was made after I made the post

So the 2 subs made a difference?

Go away ya bluffer.

Quinn - the new saviour.
