One more time with feeling then:

A win in Poland and a place in the finals is the Republic of Ireland's.

A 2-2 draw - or higher, so 3-3 etc - and the Republic are there in place of Poland.

Defeat in Poland and it's the play-offs for the Republic.

A frustrating first half for the world champions, who have failed to find a way past Georgia goalkeeper Nukri Revishvili. A point will be enough for Germany to qualify though.

"Its been an enthralling half. Since the Irish equaliser it's been wave after wave of Polish attacks, they just need to settle down after the break, Ireland. They need to stay in the game as long as possible, because a 2-2 draw will send them through. It's not all over yet."

And that's half-time. Thoroughly enjoyable half too.

The good news, if you can call it good news, for the Republic is that if they can find an equaliser, it would now put them through.

A 2-2 draw is better for Ireland than a 1-1. Got it?

That's 15 (FIFTEEN) goals in six games for Robert Lewandowski.

Ridiculous. If it happened to you in a computer game you'd cry 'cheat!'.

"It's down to nervousness, Ireland not clearing their lines. It's a really good downward header from Robert Lewandowski, but you can't allow a player of his calibre so much space in the box. Darren Randolph had no chance."

Tattz: By my calculations (and Joachim Low's), Ireland only need to complete about another 89 long balls before they will score.

Shaun Maloney has chipped in a clever second for Scotland - who are out of contention don't forget.

It's a night for cool heads all right. Perhaps Killer can get down there nearer the touchline in the second half.

James McClean, a man whose head I imagine is permanently set to 'hot', gives away a silly free-kick and now Ireland have some defending to do. But the free-kick is awful. Right into Glenn Whelan's side.

"When Ireland are in possession they're struggling to use it and Poland are building momentum. They're just panicking a bit at the moment. But both defences have looked nervous."

Newcastle United

Some breaking, and bad news for any Newcastle fans reading. GoalkeeperTim Krulhas been ruled out for the rest of the season with a cruciate knee injury sustained while playing for the Netherlands yesterday.

A horrible blow.

Poland now do get down the sides of the Republic of Ireland and when a cross comes in it's panic stations in that penalty area.

Ireland just about get it away but it's rather more luck than judgement .A few slices here, a missed kick there. Where's Richard Dunne when the Irish need him?

It's been all Germany so far, and then out of nothing Georgia create the best chance of the game. Tornike Okriashvili has a great chance to open the scoring, but is denied by a fine save to his left-hand side by Manuel Neuer. Might be a few German nerves now....

They need a point to secure qualification.

Poland having a good spell of possession now but (touch wood) they are not slicing through the Irish ranks like they managed on a few occasions in the opening 15 minutes. 

I'll keep repeating this, for my own sanity if nothing else, but a 1-1 draw will see Poland through.

"The Republic of Ireland are trying to force the issue a bit too much at the moment, they're looking to get the ball up to Shane Long too quickly. 

"Poland like to play on the counter attack, so Martin O'Neill's side have got to be a bit more organised."

Steady on!

We get a nice rendition of 'you only sing when you're winning' from the home fans - or the Polish version anyway. If anyone knows the lyrics let us know.

The Republic are well drilled but they are a bit limited in their approach. They haven't got the wide men into the game at all yet.
