You think they didn't try? Really ? They were ragball rovers but they still tried their best. Had about 5 or 6 bad performances at once and a bad day at the office for O'Neill, but I honestly think that booing a team who brought us a good 18 months and are undefeated in the group is an absolute disgrace. Lads drinking and having the craic and in a nice city playing the martyr card. Sorry not having it. FYI I'm in Tbilisi myself

It doesn't matter if you paid €40, €400 or €4000, you're still a paying customer, if you're unsatisfied with what you saw you're allowed to voice it. That's how football works has worked for about a century now I'm afraid.

so it's down to being an unhappy customer. Says it all tbh.

You'd have been screaming blue murder if a Trap team put in a performance like that.

Exactly. It's not just 1 performance. We've been generally sh*te with a decent bit of luck thrown in and the odd good performance.
This campaign alone has been a mess

Serbia away, 2-2 draw with a late equaliser. 90 passes completed. Putrid stuff

Georgia home 1-0 win. Very lucky goal from Coleman, poor performance

Moldova away 3-1 win. Decent enough against the worst side in the group

Austria away 1-0 win. Great result, thankfully Austria were poor, a draw would've been fair

Wales home 0-0 draw. Poor from both sides

Austria home 1-1. Austria unlucky not to get the win. Had the measure of us from the first minute

Georgia away 1-1 draw. Completely outplayed & out thought. Thankfully their keeper had a brain fart in min 3. We deserved nothing. 150 passes completed. Long ball in 30 degree heat. One of the all time bad performances

still undefeated in the group though. For a team the size of Ireland booing a team that is unbeaten is ridiculous tbh. we win on Tuesday we are top of the group.

As said before, it was no different the last time we were in Tbilisi, but we got the win so everyone forgot about it on the booze cruise in Bordeaux.

Even the last game against Austria, people were cheering the long ball hoof, saying what a great prudent tactic it was to have, because it got us the point.

We're 4 years on from Trap getting fired in Vienna airport, when everything was going to be all change and rosy in the garden afterwards. Since then, we have won 4 qualifiers away from home, whereas teams like Georgia were put away, home and away, before he showed up. Even Kerr managed to deal with them.

Wouldn't boo myself (understand why lads would though) but certainly wouldn't be applauding them off the pitch in Tbilisi after watching that sh*te. The performance was atrocious. Absolutely inexcusable sh*te and it has been coming. We have been putrid this campaign and somehow managed to find ourselves in an excellent position but have now pretty much thrown that away.

The campaign as a whole is beginning to resemble Traps last campaign. Yes we are unbeaten and we are so lucky to be in that position. We didn't deserve a point on Saturday night.

We go again on tomorrow night but I can't see for the life of me is lifting our performance that much to beat Serbia. Serbia I believe are no great shakes however if we allow them to play football the way we seem to allow everyone else to they will pass us off the park.

I will always have hope so long as we are still in the mix however that performance on Saturday night has seen my hope diminish quite rapidly.

As for MONs post match interview on RTÉ. I only seen it yesterday when I arrived back from Tbilisi but he is completely out of order. TOD is 100% justified in his questioning.

But booing the team and giving them the finger roaring abuse is not the same as analysing and criticising performances. Especially a team that is undefeated. That Georgian team beat Scotland there, they also drew with Spain and France there, so forgive me if I think the outrage is a little over the top.
