Good chance.

Does anyone else notice that the crowd is always off sync with each other for every chant.

"Those feckin' Irish. Always off sync during their chants"
"Aye. That's why they'll never qualify"

Gillington

Noel Hunt is he good enough!!?

Only saying this cos I wanna see Clinton back in the squad! But we're goona need at least 3 decent strikers if we make it,Keane,injury prone Doyle and someone else and I ont see Leon Best or Noel Hunt as that someone else being honest.

Keane's not that injury prone. Caleb Folan is a good bet. He's strong and is good at holding it up. It's not really up front that we have problems with, it's midfield I'd be more concerned with.

I have a feeling this is going to be the worse 90 minutes ever witnessed....some of this is really shocking stuff..

That's not always a bad thing.

Wonder if many Montenegrians (is that what they're called?) are at the match.

That_Guy

Ah Duffer look up.

Headshot

jebus mont should be 1 up

That_Guy

Jaysus. Lucky.

Spiritoftheseventies

Yes that was sloppy from Duff there. And we were nearly punished at the other end. Five out of ten so far.

That_Guy

Jim Beglin: It's not great Irish defending is it?

Come on Jim. When has it ever been good?

Kev_ps3

Pretty boring so far. Nergo should be 1 nil up

That_Guy

is playing quite well.

Pro. F

That wasn't a yellow for Rowlands imo. I hate when good 50/50 challenges like that get punished.

He's fooked injured now

Kev_ps3

yeah looks a bad one

Rekop dog

RIP

Raskolnikov

Poor Martin Rowlands could have done his cruciate

Could be out for a very long time.

Spiritoftheseventies

We are very static in midfield. Bad luck for Rowlands.

Mikeyt086

John O'Shea into Central Midfield. Who says were too defensive?

Headshot

poor Rowlands

Mitch Connor

wonder who Traps will turn to ahead of Reid now.

The1337_Stephen

CLOSE!!

Unlucky Dunne

That_Guy

So close Richard Dunne.

Raskolnikov

Nearly, twice.

Cyprus 1-0 up in Italy. This game could of been a helluva lot more important...

That_Guy

Where the hell was attacking play for the last 40 minutes?

Bloody hell we are bad tonight. Noel Hunt shouldnt be in the squad never mind a starting 11.

Rowlands not good enough either bad luck on the injury. Andy Reid hello....or not.

Isnt John O shea on a yellow? If he gets one tonight hes out for the first playoff game.

mike65

Sterile football. Witless tactics.

Italy 0 - 1 Cyprus

Lord Trollington

There goes 45 minutes of my life i will never get back, cant wait to hear dunphy.

The shackles are off lads, this is when we should be doing well.

If i bought tickets for that tripe, i'd be looking for m money back.. unreal

kincsem

No penetration. Must do better.

Oliver1985

Heh heh heh.

Eamon very quiet. Who can we bring we bring on for him. Trevor Steven, Kenny Cunningham?

McGrath5

Dunphy is taking it easy tonight.

dsmythy

I guess "don't lose" is still order of the day. Well looks like we will get the draw we desire. Can't wait to try and draw two games in the playoffs!

As long as it's not Ronnie "I scored a goal in 88 with my shin... remember that? do ya?" Whelan

Mikeyt086

Kenny "TRY NOT TO LOOK AT MY OUT-OF-CONTROL EYEBROWS" Cunningham is far far worse.

That_Guy

Dunphy heaping his praise on Stephen Hunt.

Did Giles just say that Rowlands was young? LOL

Kev_ps3

Eamon always rants when there are boring games. If its more the same in the 2nd half he will prob let loose at the end.

kincsem

Fair shoulder, ref.

That_Guy

to score in this half.

Good to see Duffer back. Playing well.

cyprus score again

I'd imagine it would be a totally different game had they needed anything from it.

Ah he's doing ok. His positional sense is great but his crossing into the box has been poor.
