Where's the weakened team riddled by injuries?

Given, Dunne, O'Shea, and Keane have all been injured, missed training and lacked match practice coming into this match. They are probably our four best and most important players. That is bound to affect team performance, and performance has been disjointed.

we have done quite well with injuries and preparation this campaign, I think its a good manager we have, although we could play better but that's the players we have at the moment.

double GG

This Hungary team beat the Czechs away last week. And also have beaten Sweden in the past year.

They are a decent team so shut the hell up moaning!

Mr.Crinklewood

Should have scored.

Moneymaker

Better last 10 minutes.

Walters or Cox surely have to start ahead of Doyle?

Luap

Hunt has a brilliant final ball and can be an lethal from set pieces.

Aye he's useless. He's only Ireland's top scorer of all time.

You're at it.

Still deserves a place in the squad, but Walters/Long are better options.

walters couldn't finish a happy meal

Darron Gibson definitely has the edge over Keith Andrews.

Has he f*ck.

And why do people even bother arguing with muppets like Francie Barret.

donfers

hunt's game seems to revolve around falling over

klose

Hunt is well switched off

Did you just call me a muppet? :rolleyes:

Hank Scorpio

Disappointing if Doyle keeps his starting place for the game vs Croatia, Cox and Walters look in good form

Mr.Crinklewood

Sone people on here make Steve Staunton look knowledgeable.

aindriu80

sounds like we are putting a bit of an effort in

The result is irrelevant, it's the toxic football we are playing.

Call it what you want, I don't care. I like thousands more in Poland will be cheering for the men in green no matter what.

Ireland playing in a major tournament is a brilliant occasion and is the ONE THING that can sweep away the cloud of negativity permanently hanging over us for a few weeks at least. Not for everyone it would seem however.

Regardless of what you think of the football, both the teams and the fans are guaranteed to give a great account of themselves and the country!

Only because Andrews isn't encouraged to do the one thing he's good at, getting into the box to score goals a la Estonia and his time at Ipswich.

klose

Here comes Paul

Scorpion Sting

Off the line by Hunt.

Luap

Hunted off the line!

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Paul Green coming on...

Good clearance there, Savic unlucky.

What do they have us at now? about 9/2?

Francie Barrett

At least Westwood has given a good account of himself.

ColeTrain

Fair play to Hunt for staying on the line.

Green is coming on. Mon Paul, show Xavi and Pirlo your moves.

aindriu80

good work hunt !

Which he was able to do in a much lower standard of league. I'm not overly bothered by his selection, but Gibson is a better player.

It's the inclusion of Ward over Wilson and Doyle continuing to start that bothers me.

I see what you did there! :P

Come on Paul Green, stick one in the net and silence all the doubters!

Paul Green who hasn't even got a club is playing for his country in the lead up to a major tournament!

Contract isn't being renewed.

In fairness , on that break Ireland got back in numbers amazingly well for the 89th minute. They should have no fitness problems at least.
