Looked a clear elbow in the face of the keeper.

He ran into his elbow. He came out too early. Goalkeepers make a cock up and they look to blame someone.

Last thing Wales need is Ireland and Serbia both winning.

The Irish guy led with the elbow - arm was horizontal. Doubt he wanted to strike with the point of the elbow, but it was a clear plan for one Irish player to barge into keeper to give easy header for the other.

It's to be expected though

Shake him up a bit. McLean nearly scored. Great player.

Right, so the intent was to clatter keeper so it was actually a foul then.

Can't see Ireland keeping a clean sheet. Georgia look a far better side.

Its a goal. That's all we need to be concerned about. It was tongue in cheek.

Georgia deserved a draw in Dublin as well.

We ideally need them both to slip up, but with Serbia hosting Moldova, that's hardly likely.

By kickoff, I'd expect Wales to be 7 points behind top spot. Even with a game in hand, that's a lot to make up. That's 4 wins out of 4 when we haven't managed such form in qualifiers for 15 years, though at least 12 points would guarantee us second place with Ireland still to face Serbia.

My worry is that Wales have won 2 of their last 6 at home since the Belgium win (if you count the friendly draw against Northern Ireland). Those wins have come against Andorra and Moldova, currently ranked 129th and 159th in the world, having failed in qualifiers to beat teams ranked 42nd and 112th.

We simply have to win our remaining four games. Don't think 2nd in our group will be enough.

Just saw the goal. Irish fella took a look before catching the keeper. Should have been a foul and a red card.

Took the lead in 4 of the 5 draws we've had and probably should've beaten Ireland with 10 men. We have only ourselves to blame if we don't get a playoff spot.

Very open this game. Somebody is going to score. Just hope it's Georgia 😂

I can't see it happening but a win against Serbia, then 3 points against Moldova would be excellent

The Canton Cross erupted when Georgia scored, they should have gone on to win that as well
