Euro 2016: Scotland v Republic of Ireland - 7:45 KO 14/11

Fitz*

Feck it, starting to get some bit of confidence in us getting the win now.

The snapchats from some friends who traveled over are making me very envious! Wouldn't mind an Ireland away trip!

Mushy

I'm of the same opinion as a few here, a draw is a minimum, a win is achievable and would be an excellent result. Think it'll be 1-1, if there's a winner, it'll be 2-1 Ireland.

keeponhurling

Any team released yet or leaked ?

Forde

Coleman
Ward
O'Shea
???? Clark?

McGeady
Quinn
Walters
McClean
??? Houlahan? Hendrick ? Gibbo?

Keane

Do Meyler or long have a chance of a start ?
Help me fill in the gaps !

ebbsy

Scots are scutter. 0-3 to Ireland.

8-10

I'm worried about Naismith, think he's a useful player. Would anyone take a draw right now?

dundalkfc10

Apparently John Delaney has offered Scotland the win tonight but 55% voted no

We could blow a hole in the Scots chances tonight.

Northern England 0-2 Republic of Ireland

Why do we have to play some English region anyway. We don't have to play Tuscany, Bavaria, Siberia, California or New South Wales!

Theyre getting offers all over the shop by the sounds of it, maybe Michale D. will throw in a similar offer. :pac:

Odds on a McGeady OG?

I don't think the latter 2 are in Europe?

(peers over at giant spinning globe...)

If we play well we will win because I think we have better players in key positions notably on the wings where we have lots of pace. If we don't play well we won't.

nkay1985

I agree that overall we have nothing to fear from the Scots but I would be worried if Naismith has a good game. Think he's the type of player that could do us damage. Would love to see us win but would happily take a draw.

callaway92

The longer the week has gone on, the more confident I've gotten that we'll definitely get a point from it. As numerous people have already said, a win would be huge in the grand scheme of things.

C'mon Ireland!

Aenaes

Probably going to be a scrappy enough game.

Ireland have by far the better wide players with McGeady and Coleman and they will need to be utilised well. McClean is also well capable of using his pace and having a good game.

With balls hopefully pinging in and around the box, Ireland should have the better advantage to score. Keane will be the best player on that pitch tonight in terms of putting the ball in the back of the net.

Kermit.de.frog

Is O'Neill going to go really defensive though.

kfallon

If he has any kind of cop on, Gary MacKay will make sure he is in Glasgow tonight, he won't have to put his hand in his pocket for a gargle as long as there are Irish men in town!!!

Mr. Loverman

I need to decide if it's worth staying up until 3:45+ AM to watch this. In China... will it be a depressing sleepy night or a "that was worth it"...

Soups123

I was really not expecting a lot tonight maybe I've bought into the Scottish hype but after looking at the confidence here (maybe foolishly) I'm all excited now and I'm definately getting beers

Did we not play Gibraltar in the last international break ?

Nalz

I'm getting very pessimistic as the hours draw near

think it could be 2-1 to the Scots

tonycascarino

I'm getting optimistic - 2-1 to us

Do it!! It will be totally worth it!...Well maybe check the team sheet before you fully commit to an all nighter. If Robbie is selected to plough the long furrow by himself, bring sleeping bag/duvet with.

Scotland 1 - Republic of Ireland 5

I have a feeling its going to be one of those freak games we'll be talking about for years to come.

Absolutely buzzing for this, cannot beat good international football.

WoollyRedHat

I had a dream. It involved Robbie Keane and some unkown quantity, a fine and dreamlike cross that floated to the edge of the box, which Robbie, like an expert marksmen beautifully volleyed into the net, to give Ireland sweet victory.

I had a dream last November before the Ireland v NZ rugby match of Rob Kearney scoring a try. I couldn't remember if Ireland won in the dream. And then...:(

Really looking forward to this , I think we might nick a win .

I'm teaching a class at this time. Can't reschedule and can't turn down the money

Alfred Borden

Been looking forward to this all week. Would love a draw, both teams are around the same level, can see us being pipped.

Kirby

Arent Whelan and McCarthy both out? And hoolahan too? That is going to hurt us.

Might see a combination of Meyler/Hendrick/Quinn in the middle.

I'd say Gibbo is ahead of Meyler in the pecking order

i wouldn't describe out style of play as good! The atmosphere we bring is the only good thing about us :P

But we're getting the job done so far and that's all that matters.

Give them a surprise exam for the class.

Let them work away and you put in some headphones!

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

I´m surprised that they scheduled a class at this time, Colombia are playing as well and normally the country shuts down for any meangingless friendly. At least 30% of people on the bus earlier were wearing the national teams jersey.

Debating whether to avoid the score and watch it later or not

Here we go again, we're on the road again, we're on the road again, we're on our way to Paradise

Absolute sickener. I'm performing in a concert tonight but if the timing goes according to plan we'll be done by 20:30 which should give enough time to run into the pub next door for the second half.

Dots1982

predictions:

georgia 0 - 2 Poland
Scotland 1 - 1 Ireland

Kerrydude1981

Looking forward to tonights game,I think they got it spot on with the match preview on RTE.ie

"The Celtic Park clash will be akin to a mid-to-lower table Premier League clash and the game will surely be decided on individual incidents, whether a wonder-strike from outside the box, or a misplaced pass to gift a goal."

I think we should have enough to get a result tonight,il go for Ireland to win 2-1

sky88

Sadly can only see a draw here 1 all i think hopefully i can be proven wrong with a win

stiffler123

Would take a draw but a win would be fantastic. Keane has to start by the way, can't believe people want him dropped for Long.
