Would any other commentator work a Brecht reference into his stream of consciousness?

DELANEY OUT

Ireland has now reverted to type... standing off, men behind the ball, looking for scraps.

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

A nice piece of skill by McGeady to beat his man on the left wing, but he then cocks it up with a poor cross and a subsequent bit of bad control which goes out for a goal-kick.

Georgia look there for the taking but, as ever, we aren't enterprising enough to carve out clear chances.

Is Long on the bench?

[garcia]

DELANEY OUT

yeah he is.

georgia are terrible. the question is, are ireland bad enough to fuck this up?

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

Good shot of two former team-mates arsing around before the game.

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

Georgia go close with a slashing shot across the face of the goal, after dozy defending by Marc Wilson. There's a back-post scare from the resultant corner too.

[garcia]

DELANEY OUT

jesus christ. should have been 1-0 to georgia there. ward and wilson cocking it up in quick succession. then they nearly score from the corner. i think we are bad enough not to win.

[garcia]

DELANEY OUT

1-0 mcgeady!! georgia totally fell apart there.

[Toro Toro]

DELANEY OUT

YUSS!

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

Walters works hard to win the ball, Keane dummies it, McGeady is played in and converts the chance. 1-0!

[anton pulisov]

DELANEY OUT

Aiden McGeady, football genius.

David Forde looks even more badass in purple as well.

[garcia]

DELANEY OUT

nice finish by mcgeady.

[anton pulisov]

DELANEY OUT

Top of the group. Throwing down a marker. Ball in Germany's court now.

David Forde knows he's allowed to pick up throw-ins, right?

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

Fucking hell.

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

The replay indicates the shot took a deflection off the number 9, and that Forde was fairly unsighted.

[anton pulisov]

DELANEY OUT

Took a deflection, no?

edit: what he said

[garcia]

DELANEY OUT

it didn't take a deflection.

stephen ward is so awful

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

Another replay confirms there was no deflection at all.

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

The Georgians' collective dander is up now.

[anton pulisov]

DELANEY OUT

I've never seen a ball go up and down like that without a deflection. We'll need a super slomo hawkeye replay of that.

[anton pulisov]

DELANEY OUT

Robbie Keane is a total passenger out there.

Just done it. From the side, it doesn't go within six inches of the number nine, it goes over his head. It was just one hell of a shot.

[anton pulisov]

DELANEY OUT

Handy that Georgia have a clone of their keeper on the bench.

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

Nordies drawing 0-0 in Budapest at the break.

[Borracho]

DELANEY OUT

Dunphy has just described the Georgian left-back as "absolutely mad, a headbanger".

It's fair to say that the panel are deeply disappointed in Ireland's performance in general.
