France v Rep of Ireland ,WC Playoff 2nd leg,[Mod Warning Post #1/988/1169/1400]

Mr.Nice Guy

Very proud of the lads. Our best performance under Trap me thinks. Disciplined and committed. More of the same and a goal would be nice.

Come on!

Hopefully they don't get as tired in the 2nd half as they looked in Dublin.

SlickRic

someone let me know what Dunphy says...

Frisbee

Delighted, hope it didn't come too early though and we sit back...

chopperbyrne

Great first half.

Just need to keep to keep it tight after half time and get another goal about fifteen minutes from time.

I believe!

Liam O

I keep expecting to wake up and just see 1-0 to France on the screen.

Need to start playing like we were before the goal! Letting them back in now!!

disagree.... we let our concentration go after the Italian goal, tonight showed we've learnt, they did not let the goal go to the head (unlike me )

Now start the 2nd half strong, we can do it !!!!

Handsome Bob

Great first half. France have looked for the most part dodgy, but being a Liverpool fan you learn that every single minute counts, this game isn't over until it is over. Still an awful long way to go.

Het-Field

Excellent performance. Either way, if this is what the boys can muster, then we should start expecting much more from them !

They won't cause they haven't been chasing the ball for 45 mins.

Just hope we don't revert to type, was beginning to happen towards the end there.

artanevilla

Calm heads, calm heads.

ntlbell

hope we don't sit back now have to keep going sit back and we won't contain then for 45 minutes

another positive is we have had plenty of the ball so tiredness shouldn't be too much of a factor later on..

my voice is gone

COME ON IRELAND!!

The French are almost certainly the worlds worst supporters, they'll turn on you in a second.

Great goal, I can only believe the players have completely ignored Traps plan

The cheese eating types will tweak their tactics, putting another man in the middle and looking to get quicker ball but all now depends on who's nerve cracks first.

The ball from kilbane was exceptional.

Feckin' cheese monkeys!

Keane, Duff and Dunne playing like they know this could be their best shot of one last world cup (at least). Hopefully if called upon Shay can have magic moment too....

dioltas

Gonna be edge of your seat stuff in the second half!

Headshot

Im expecting france to play better in the second half now

if we keep the score 1-0 for around 15-20m mins the french will drop the heads again

Soby

Loved the wink from Trap

Great performance so far, lawrence has been class. Great build up and finish for the goal. Come on lads, keep it up!

kenon

The goal gets better the more I see it.

flahavaj

I'm actually welling up with pride watching that first half.

As good a half of proper football I've ever seen from an Ireland side.

Epic stuff.

Please please let them keep up this gameplan and not retreat into their shells, its there for the taking if they believe and the manager believes in them.

FutureGuy

BELIEVE LADS, BELIEVE!

Eirebear

Fantastic first half from ireland. Theyve shown guts, passion, pride and skill in bucketloads.

Its gonna be a tough job to keep it up for another 45 though, heres hoping adrenaline keeps them going through to the end.

Necronomicon

Couldn't believe it, was literally shaking after the goal! Unbelievable football. This is our best performance in a long time.

Just really hope the lads come out of the traps like they did in the first half, we haven't been capable of defending a lead so far in the campaign, we have to get in their faces like we did in the first half.

Great performance.

COME ON IRELAND!

Soby

"Hello is that the Legends Hotel ?,Id like to take the previous booking you had for the French team, for the Irish team:D"

briany

Ah......we dare to dream again.:o

Govou and malouda could be coming on

If we win this match i think it will be the greatest highlight of watching Ireland in my life!


Come on Ireland...


i have a small bet on Ireland to win 2-1 at 20/1

Woah, great moment and all that jazz but your getting a bit ahead of yourself.

BE CAUTIOUS LADS, BE CAUTIOUS (Especially because Kilbane is playing)

Brilliant first half. I hope they dont tire like Saturday in the second half. More of the same and we can win.

He scored when we needed it the most.
In no way is it too early. How can anyone question him after this irrespective of result.

jimmay

I hope Trap roasted them at half time as they should be 2 or 3 up!

On a side note, anyone know where I can get some immodium

Let's not tempt unnecessary fate.

Really please.

Here in Kuala Lumpur after trekking through the streets to find somewhere showing the match and am sat here with a couple of equally desperate heads from home, hanging on every delayed internet fed piece of information.

A combination of Radio 1, internet TV footage and boards.ie.

Believe me, it feels like I'm watching sketchy camcorder footage from my worst childhood moments.

Not good.

PS Grateful to the lad who provided hdfoot.net but the connection here is slow so it's a combination of radio and internet.

you have no idea what it's like.

Unless you've watched your foreskin being gradually, painfully, detached from your great self.

Please let this happen. I would almost forego my foreskin for this rarity in Irish happiness.

Please.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Love it.

Keane you beauty. :D:D:D

Arnold Layne

Dunphy on about how we're not a "limited" team based on the first 45 minutes. Clearly a dig at Souness' comments last weekend. We are a limited team but it would be great to qualify and put two fingers up to Blatter with his seeding rule. Slovenia ahead as well.:)

ShooterSF

I think this is what being a football fan is all about. These moments where you sit nerve wrecked fighting back tears of joy, shouting calls to the players as if you're on the sideline. It's the emotional highs of it all and knowing there's a few million more going through it..

Heisenberg.
