    Robin Smit : Both challenges were absolutely shocking from Baird but the referee should only give one yellow as he only saw one challenge.

    Andrew Priestley:  I agree with the referee on that one, even as a NI fan. Two clear yellow cards for Chris Baird. Absolute stupidity from him.

    At the risk on inflaming the situation. that was possibly actually good refereeing from Cuneyt Cakir. Careful how you spell that one.

    THREE MINUTES left.

    "Chris Baird committed a foul earlier in the move. The ref played an advantage, booked him for that, and then booked him for a shocking foul later in the move."

    Scotland 2-3 Germany

    Scotland have barely seen the ball since the Germans went ahead. The world champions looking as good as you'd expect. Is it all over for Scotland now?

    Former Northern Ireland defender Gerry Taggart: "That is a joke. You can't raise your arms. It is a red card offence. What is the point in the official being behind the goal."

    Northern Ireland 0-1 Hungary

    I predicted red cards an hour or so ago and we could have another one here as Tamas Priskin throws a shoulder at Gareth McAuley. He is booked, as McAuley rather poorly throws himself to the floor. Get up!

    Chaos ensues as Northern Ireland's night goes from poor to awful.

    Chris Bairdis booked for a foul and then shown a second one instantly. Is that a case of mistaken identity? The referee seems to indicate that Baird had fouled a man earlier, he played advantage, and then picked up a second.

    The second challenge was a shocker. Northern Ireland down to 10 men. their big night going south fast.

    Unfortunately for Michael McGovern, he definitely will see that again.

    Hungary's last two games are against Faroe Islands and Greece, How expensive could that error prove to be?

    In Belfast, it is Hungary who are ending the game strongly. David Healy, hero of 10 years ago, gives the thumbs up from the stands but it is Hungary pushing hard...
