1-1 draw

A dark day for Irish football looms

Dave Larkin

I have a feeling we'll scrape it 2-1.

soupie

3-1 win

Keano and McGeady to be the difference

Expecting a big game from Miller if he starts

chump

12-0 win irland

homerjay2005

seriously worried about this, but reckon we will scrape a 1-0 win, but it wont be pretty. a very important week for staunton and ireland, im worried our qualification dreams could be over by wednesday

Rollo Tamasi

i can see us getting 6 points and stan to get some false hope of being a top class mangager and then it goes down hill...

stan is blessed...but it's going to wear out

Rollo Tamasi

cyprus..not san marino

county

i agree,2-1


now i`ll go to check the odds on that

Raskolnikov

We'll scrape it 1-0, we'll get a scrappy goal from a set peice. Paddy Kenny to be man of the match.

RasTa

Over in England atm, this on any internet tv?

BlackWizard

0-1 to Ireland

Formation after the goal: Flat back 8 with 2 defensive midfielders (Keane, Duff(?))

i think we'll win comfortably because were better simple as that. if somehow we get 3 points off the czechs.....somehow... the we've 2 easy ones against san marino 12 points from 12 could give us serious momentum and if this happens i back us to come 2nd

2-0 Ireland, first half goals around the 15 and 36 minute marks.

PaddyPower here i come...

oh and Ireland should win by one or two, as long as they put in a professional performance that is

Andrew 83

1-0 or 2-0.

I'm surprised at the relatively decent odds avail for an irish win ... 1.53+

I expected 1.2/1.3 ...

Starting Line Up

Kenny

Finnan O'Brien Dunne O'Shea


McGeady Ireland Kilbane Duff


Keane Morrison

Rollo Tamasi

lineup is pretty much what i wanted, bar maybe Miller in for Ireland. A big game is need of Morro to hold up the ball..we have a lot of creativity in the midfield so i think we will create chances. The only downside is that we are going to rely on Kilbane to do the defensive work in midfield...oh no!

Carsely should be in that starting 11 ahead of Kilbane.

Necronomicon

Pretty happy with the line up, although a little surprised to see Ireland get the nod in midfield.

MonkeyWrench

Good to see Ireland in midfield, should add some energy to the center. I reckon a 1-0 win for ireland. should be a scrappy affair.

Chucky the tree

2-0

Have to admit I'm not overly familiar with this Stephen Ireland lad. Hope we don't miss the injured players too much. Given will always be a big loss. He's saved our ass so many times.

I think we'll probably nick a win alright, maybe 2-0. Slovakia hammered these guys so we should be looking to take them on aswell and go for the jugular early. Looking at Slovakia's result today (trounced Wales 5-1 in Cardiff) they could be the dark horses in this group.

Few!!!!

pp_me129

goal !!!!!!!!!

pp_me129

1-0 ireland stephen ireland (6 mins)

besty

Lucky to be ahead though after their miss

pp_me129

1-1 Crap!!!

besty

Oh my god. Shocking defending
1-1

pp_me129

Will he didnt miss this time!!

The1337_Stephen

We look solid enough up front, but our defence is shocking. We're really missing Given

zAbbo

Back to square one.

Andy O Brien should not be playing the ball out of defence at all.

We need the ball down and keep it to feet, pointless playing high balls when you've got small players like Duff, Ireland, Keane, McGeady, Morrison

Chardee MacDennis

is brian kerr going through anyone else's head? may have to switch the volume off!

KdjaCL

More goals in this for us and possibly them


kdjac

The1337_Stephen

Irelands a tiny little player, but he's looking very good at the moment

Yeah, kerrs a bit droning alright, has no emotion that man

mewso

Dark day for Ireland indeed. TV3 is the only channel I can watch it on.

The1337_Stephen

Yeah me too, Digital got cut off

OMG, Nearly in again for them, no marking at all

OMFG ITS IN!!!

pp_me129

2-1 i dont belive it

KdjaCL

2-1 Cyprus retarded defending


kdjac

Chardee MacDennis

what was kenny doing, where is our defence? ffs - cyprus for god sake.

zAbbo

How bad are we ?

2-1 Cyprus.

Very unsure at the back, whats the manager going to do...what a sec...

mewso

Holy crap.

The1337_Stephen

We'd be better off with a Gorilla in goal, Kenny isin't doing squat

pp_me129

Im goin to shoot u paddy kenny

Chardee MacDennis

jesus nearly 3-1... building for world cup 2010 indeed.

tdv

This is a joke, a compelte joke, Im sitting here waiting for Jeremy Beadle to pop out of somewhere

Ruu_Old

Ah this is turning into a joke now.:(

The1337_Stephen

Hopefully our front line can redeem us a little, we need to hammer their attacks down more and make some chances

RasTa

Im following the match on this thread, your joking right?

d22ontour

Getting ripped apart by Cyprus atm.

Never thought i would ever type that tbh.

:mad:
