Have to back you on this one llyod , declare and be done with it. At the end of the day he did play underage for ireland

I'm just looking for peoples opinion on his situation. It would be great if he decides to play for us and I wouldn't hold a grudge if he's holding out on other options. I get loyds point but for me personally I would just be glad if we got somebody of his potential singed up.

Isnt there financial differences when deciding to play for either country?

At least if he did cap for us he would be near guaranteed his place imo

Whenever he makes his mind up and if it's for us, I'll welcome him but until he decides, I'm not bothered and I hate the whole circus that have been following him and asking every Tom, Dick and Harry about it, just let the led decide himself.

I would say its abit mad to hold out for this long though. I know its a big decision but at the end of the day sit down ask who will I play for first and do that .
On the financial side I can't see there being much of a diference other then personal sponsorships and after that not really.

Feck it, i take it back, do your worse Georgia!

Idbatterim

while a draw is better than nothing for us, we really need a georgia win... Come on Georgia!

niallo27

Someone work out it out. Does a draw put us ahead of Scotland or is it head to head

Brian017

So if it stays the same, we only have to match Scotland's results against Poland and Germany, correct?

polarbearhead

head to head

Pretty sure it's head to head

Idbatterim

it puts us a point ahead... so we only have to match their results v germany and poland and we qualify. if they draw, we have to better them, which i wouldnt fancy...

that said if ireland go to poland with a nothing to lose match and poland are already through, who knows what could happen...

if scotland get a draw, even if we finish level on points with them, they go through due to head v head results... we really need a georgia win...

Lads can somebody pm me 'some information' on how I can watch RTE 2 outside of Ireland please

Playing regularly for Stoke?

it wont matter in a match tonight against minnows, but against everyone else...

Doesn't necessarily make him good.

Yeah while I agree, you're pretty much automatically in this squad with regular premiership football.

FatRat

It hink these 18 minutes will decide if we have a chance of qualifying or not. If Scotland level I dont think we have a chance unfortunately!

That_Guy

Feel sorry for David Forde. Given's had his days with Ireland and Forde had been quite solid inbetween the sticks when he has played.

Forde is no longer first choice at Millwall. Regular game time is more important for keepers.

Yeah disgrace that Given still starting.

He is as good as any of the other midfielders. Mccarthy is better but has rarely done it for Ireland.

Idbatterim

yeah this match is critical for our hopes, 76 minutes gone! come on georgia! even if they beat scotland, we will have to do a job against them here on monday, cant take that as a formality! but its a great position to be in... I have nearly E1250 at stake on us qualifying, so safe to say, Im rather anxious at this point...

I wouldn't call it disgraceful but I think we need to start looking elsewhere for a long term #1

Idbatterim

goal position isnt our main problem, its particularly the weak central midfield...

brianregan09

How did we lose to this scottish side there awful

Shame that the good ship Stephen Ireland has sailed because I think he'd do a job for us.

Answer: Because we're even more awful.

Idbatterim

How did we lose to this scottish side there awful

yeah, they were over hyped, a jammy goal v us and a georgia og at home... If they finish third, I hope they dont make it through. They were very arrogant v us... We are no world beaters, but they have no pedigree in recent history of being there or there abouts come the end of the qualifying group and we do...

the georgia scotland match is nearly over, 6 minutes to go, still 1-0 to georgia....

Good stuff Georgia, Just don't do anything silly like concede a goal!

Edit: Phew

brianregan09

They'd be calling for the managers head if we lost a game like this I wonder will strachan take much flak for this result

Nib

Fucking corners.

That_Guy

4 minutes. Me nerves.

KungPao

Good lord...blow the whistle!

Cramp. I like it

Nib

Well done, Georgia!

I'm going to have a peach in their honour.

That_Guy

Pheew!

KungPao

Achtung! Bono

But, 1-0 win to Georgia in the end..

We should have. We were the better team on the night. And it could cost us. I still think Scotland are going to drop points to Georgia so its not completely over yet.
