Gibraltar vs Republic of Ireland - Friday Sep 4 2015 - 19:45 - RTE2

Godot.

I'm looking forward to this game now

AndyBoBandy

Looks like I'm eating humble pie tonight.

Well done Georgia, we need to capitalise on this

Idbatterim

YAHOOOOO! they are no joke, BUT bear in mind, we will be at home, they have to travel and have had an intense match tonight, we have a training exercise tonight, tonight means nothing, however many we score...

Good girl Georgia salpa, never doubted her.

I'm amazed that Scotland have let us back in.

Two poor teams fighting for 3rd place in this group.

Mr.Nice Guy

Hopefully that result will fire up our lads. Great opportunity now to be right back in this group.

I'd take 1-0 tonight and 1-0 Monday!

Get in!

Idbatterim

georgia with 3 points before this result beat scotland! We are good at beating the poor sides, very consistent BUT we beat ourselves against the average to good sides!

Here's hoping we can be less poor

DyldeBrill

Who saw that coming?? I certainly didn't!

Lets hope Ireland take advantage of this! COYBIG!!

newballsplease

No Dunphy ??? Aaah RTE.... boo

Kerrydude1981

Win well tonight and a 1 nil will do on Monday

Hopefully the Germans do a job on Scotland and we could be clear of them Scots come Monday night.

Everyone calling this a practise game. Lets hope that doesn't jinx us now. Memorys of San Marino under Stan are creeping in.

Georgia are due a home win in this group so I have a feeling that they can defeat or draw with a limited Scottish side.

Handy few pound made

Dempsey

I think Sadlier is right and Brady is showing why he never made it as a manager

Two sides fighting for the prestige of being knocked out in the playoffs.

A great victory, another one tonight will do nicely :pac:

What's the Irish starting 11 lads? Trying to watch on Rte player but impossible outside the country

Listening to the RTE panal here, I wouldn't play the same team either, dont want to risk anyone for the Georgia match.

Could be some big teams in the playoffs (Holland for a start) but for now thank you Georgia, they'll be dancing in Atlanta tonight!

KungPao

I think the relief of the Scotland result will "gee up" the lads tonight and they'll play well and with confidence.

My prediction is 0-8

Brady even said as much, regarding Coleman and Wilson (I think) who would miss the Georgia game with a yellow.

You can't risk that, and as Sadlier said putting anyone in anywhere is not a risk.

Brady then went on to say he would play the team that will play against Georgia.

Are you referring to Liam Brady and Richard Sadlier?

Dempsey

Why are Everton players always fragile on international duty?

Deise_2012

Ah lads....O'Neill surely has to realise that Keane's legs are gone, fair enough he'll score a few tonight against very poor opposition but in the big games when you have Hoolahan looking for someone to make a run...you surely have to be picking Shane Long? The guy changed the Poland game and he only got 10mins on the pitch

Long is better coming on against tired legs

But Keane can't hold up the ball or compete in the air....so we're just inviting pressure on ourselves.

The_Kew_Tour

Scotland were awful, expected much more from them. Shows how poor we were only to get point off them

PTH2009

If we lose or draw tonight I swear to god this Irish team should never be left home.

If we do finish 3rd we will get Holland in the playoffs

Why is schmeichel smelling a used sponge in the carlsberg ad.

Thats what Jon Walters is for. Keane is there to score goals, nobody comes close to him in that regard

Anyone know the remaining fixtures for ourselves and Scotland after tonight?

Then how poor are Germany to only draw with us at home.

But Walters is on the wing no? I'd be picking Long ahead of Walters or Keane anyways..

Looking at those I'm thinking Scotland still have a better chance than us.

Of course we were but I think we are better than the scots just lack of imagination held us back.

We are better then Scotland, we don't have manager who can get job done in a crucial game which is big problem.
