Shane Long it turns out, put the proper nail in the coffin
It was all feel good til the news filtered through that he'd scored, then it all went flat, place went silent and the rest is history as they say

But we would still have been 3 points behind both Poland and IrelandSo we would have needed to rely on Poland beating Ireland to get a play off spot.

No we wouldn't. Had we best Poland like we shoulda last night then 3 points in Georgia would have us sitting on 17-Pts
We're the only team out of Poland and ROI that took nothing from Germany. You know why ? Because we lauded them, we built them up we made them unbeatable in our own minds. As we always do. Inferiority complex. Poland and Ireland got stuck in. Ireland took 4 points from them. Poland 3. Neither of those teams are better than us. But their approach and attitude towards game is. That's Strachans fault.

But Ireland were supernaturally lucky in those games. Unbelievable. Battered the whole time but so whow scored an undeserved equaliser and winner using primitive tactics. They should have had 0 points from germany
Horseshit. Ireland played very well last night. Mostly kept the ball on the deck and passed it round. Mixed it a little with the odd longball as most teams do. German coach was complaining after the game about longballs, in reality there were very few. Anyways world champs should easily defend that tactic.
