Jesus christ, a fowl throw at this stage, he should be shot!

Spiritoftheseventies · 05-09-2009 9:19pm

3 POINTS - ALL THAT MATTERS!!!!!

Headshot · 05-09-2009 9:19pm

Lucky bastards

McGrath5 · 05-09-2009 9:20pm

Thats the last get out of jail cards lads.

SRFC90 · 05-09-2009 9:20pm

Wierd coverage. Almost as if it wasn't live, they left as soon as they whistle went and then the screens behind the lads showed no players on the pitch!???

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 05-09-2009 9:21pm

Close one!
How many do we have to win now to get through?

Capricorn two?

JerryHandbag · 05-09-2009 9:21pm

Jesus Christ on a cross.....how do we do it?
MASSIVE 3 points, dreadful performance....still think we may be found out in the play offs.

I'm no fan of Robbie Keane, but fair play he took the winner like a true finisher

cooker3 · 05-09-2009 9:22pm

We got the result. We have been lucky the whole campaign. Still, I will take it

That_Guy · 05-09-2009 9:22pm

The phrase "the luck of the Irish" has never felt so apt.

if we win both of our last two games we will qualify automatically

Actually Italy will need to drop points elsewhere

mink_man · 05-09-2009 9:24pm

2 draws is the best i cans see...

If we're to beat Italy we need to do a Harlequins on it and fake a blood injury to one of our players and hope that one of the Italian's gets sent off.

Might be the only we can do it.

Headshot · 05-09-2009 9:28pm

a midfield of andy reid and steven reid would be a 100% better than that god awful midfield

italy are also playing quite poorly these days. they aren't on top form themselves these days.

Or tighten up our policy on Italian tourists, make it so only Italians already here will be able to play!

Yes to think we are missing the two reids and Ireland. That said two good shots from Whelan and Andrews from outside box tonight.
Think both will start against Italy next month.

Chucky the tree · 05-09-2009 9:30pm

lol, dunphy shows his knowledge. Claiming mcgeady is definsively frail because he got two yellow cards at hibs last week and got sent off.

Kinetic^ · 05-09-2009 9:30pm

Will be watching Italy v Bulgaria on Wednesday with great interest.

mink_man · 05-09-2009 9:30pm

i know what we can do to inmprove our midfield....

play 5-0-5 formation

No it wouldnt, Andy reid as a centre mid in a 4 man midfield would be a disaster.

Hank Scorpio · 05-09-2009 9:32pm

great success!

Shame our CM players suck.

The Rooster · 05-09-2009 9:32pm

Well done Robbie!! Hugely frustrating at times, but the one man who regularly comes up with the goods at the right time.

I have to say I don't blame the central midfield lads at all. They do their best and follow the game plan set by the manager.

While Dunne has had the odd calamatious moment (among lots of barnstorming displays), I've never seen him be so poor consistently for a full game. Maybe the City/Villa stuff affected his concentration, but he wasnt on his game today.

JerryHandbag · 05-09-2009 9:35pm

LOL at Dunphys interpretation of John O Sheas long ball tactics "WHHHOOFFF!!"

what were the odds on 2-1

20/1, only had €1.50 on it though

I can't afford high stakes anymore

Paddy power sayin it's a loser though

€1.50 To Win - Single Internet 1 Cyprus v Ireland
Ireland 2 - 1
20/1 Lose €0.00 €0.00

Hank Scorpio · 05-09-2009 9:38pm

i think hes trying to say our CM players are worthless

Its hilarious. the one time we got the ball down and passed it, we scored

I think you misinterpreted what he said. He was actually defending his 'frailty' and used the sending off as an example.

WOOF!!

Dave! · 05-09-2009 9:43pm

Trap's English getting better

And his translator is still a ride

pp made a mistake,they did something like that with me once too

It sounded like he said he's ''too scared to resign''.

It's the FAI, not the mob.

Racing Flat · 05-09-2009 9:52pm

Souness a bit harsh on Dunne saying he's 16 stone :eek:
