I love the guy who's commentating. I call him "Mr. Charisma".

I'd say Hamšìk is probably the best player in our group. Improving every year in Italy, consistantly puts in quality performances and offers a lot of goals from midfield.

Prufrock

HT 1 1. A draw will do.

It would have been a headache inducer if I stuck with the stream, although the Setanta commentary is no great shakes either.

Good game though

Mushy

How do the Slovakian defence get away with climbing over the strikers as if they're ladders? 2/3 times the much larger defender has wrapped everything around an Armenian, only for free out to be given.

One of the Slovak defenders is already on a yellow for persistant fouling. Heres hoping for a red.

Even a draw here would be a nice result

I think Trapattoni would bit somebodys hand off to take a draw here.

Armenia win would be great but I be thrilled with draw right now.

Delighted! Missed that bit somehow.

Wikipedia tells me Armenia have taken off a midfielder and brought on a striker.

FUNKY LOVER

Gerrup. Makes this game later even more important.

Rekop dog

Come on.... Slovaks look so weak at the back!

KungPao

This is gooooood stuff.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Keep the free down this time!!

Top corner would be ideal.

Great new

JamBur

What a flap from the Armenian keeper!

Games has gone scrappy, Slovaks falling about a lot now

IF this armenia game stays this way it'll obviously be good points-wise but would also give the Irish lads a boost for later on.

I'm dreaming here but imagine this for tonight; Ireland 9pts,Armenia 7pts Slovakia 6pts, Russia 3pts

Cant forget those thrifty Armenians.

Raskolnikov

Pleeeasssse hold out.

ctrl-alt-delete

This is making our 1-0 win over there look a good result now, even if i wasn't happy with it at the time,

If this stays as an Armenian win or even a draw, the game tonight for us becomes so much bigger (as if it wasn't big enough) a win would be fantastic!

My excitement and nerves are starting to turn to excitement and belief!

Come on Ireland!

The_Kew_Tour

I be still happy with draw

briany

Armenia's ranking really doesn't do their footballing prowess justice. The possiblity to put the cat amongst the pigeons in this group is in their own hands right now.

Raskolnikov

Armenia starting to fall back a bit now.

adamski8

should have passed the idiot!!!!

JamBur

ooooooh no


should have been 3-1

what a chance!

Cake Man

Christ that shudda been 3-1! C'mon Armenia!

Armenia would have 4 points after this game.

Heres a link to the table, in case anyone is wondering:

Shocking decision making!

My extreme bad. I heard 4 points mentioned, thought they were already on it. Simple maths would've told me otherwise:o

Slovakia's passing is shocking

I see Ireland are playing in the "Dublin Arena" again tonight;)

naughto

whats the score

JamBur

the ball control from Weiss is unreal

Raskolnikov

Slovakia have been atrocious. So much for Hamsik, can't even square a 5 yard pass.

JamBur

2-1 with 10 mins to go, prob 3 or 4 mins of extra time as well

IRISHSPORTSGUY

Judging by Armenia's recent results they can compete against tappy tappy teams, but struggled against our physicality.

Haha ye i know. I was sayin in a previous thread that its to do with UEFA rules on external sponsorship in official matches. They can only have official UEFA sponsors mentioned, hence why its the Dublin Arena for all UEfa qualifiers and the europa cup final.

Tonight has draw written all over it. Russia will take the away draw and Trap will accommodate.
