    One thing is certain. We can't have extra time. If Bosnia get two goals to level on aggregate they are going through as away goals count double.

    Let's be clear. Ireland might have been fortunate with their first goal but there was nothing controversial about the second. Wonderful finish by Walters.

    "It was a good free kick. Brady left footed and Bosnia didn't deal with it well. But it was good technique from Walters, a really quality finish."

    The television cameras close in on the crowd. There are nervous smiles, one or two fans cannot bear to look. Bosnia might be enjoying loads of possession but they can't unlock this green defence. Twenty five minutes and counting.
