Oh look that was terrible. I can't even be bothered talking about it any more. I'm only joking. Although I am finishing this live text now.
Scotland won so maybe my Scottish colleagues are happier. Check out their live text.
Bye.

Friday will mark three years since Ireland's last competitive home win.
That is horrific whichever way you look at it.
That win was a 2-0 win over Gibraltar by the way.

Two good chances by Ireland's standards. Shane Duffy's acrobatic volley(!!) is blocked and Jason Knight fires over the loose ball.

Jason Knight is announced as the Irish man of the match. Can't argue with that although it always feels strange to have a man of the match in a defeat.

From the resulting corner Michael Obafemi heads wide.
