I don't give a f*ck how we do it, I just want to win in Tbilisi. Hope after this campaign we take a break from drawing Georgia as this fixture is one that fills me with dread every campaign.

Absolutely hate them at this stage. I'd be happy with a 1-0 and a goal that comes off the arse of their goalkeeper.

3 points is what is needed

We beat them every time.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

unconvincingly by the narrowest margins in recent history - hence expectation of a nerve wrecking evening

100%.

Both would be very typical of this Ireland team, and I'd say the first is more likely to happen.

How is it very typical of this Ireland team when we've beaten Georgia 3 times under O'Neill in regard to drawing with Georgia?

Not getting a result we're expected to get (home draw with Scotland, first two results in Euros), followed by getting a result we're not expected to get (win against Germany, win against Italy)

I don't know if that makes sense but we always seem to get the big wins only when we fully need to

I don't anyone expected to get anything against Belgium (I know I certainly didn't), I'll agree that Sweden we probably had an expectation that we would have beat them and perhaps picked up a point against Italy.

We more or less always beat the lowest ranked sides in our groups be it under Trap and now O'Neill and this includes Andorra, Macedonia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Faroe Islands, Georgia, Gibraltar, Moldova to Georgia again this campaign.

Scotland with all due respect (despite losing to Georgia in the Euro 2016 qualifiers) are a step up from any of the sides mentioned above. 

So really it couldn't be further from typical if we drew away in Georgia, we have played them 8 times and beat them 8 times.

You also have to remember that motivation no matter what anyone tries to tell you be at any level, players will always raise their game against better opposition this is just human nature.
