You may as well leave the thread title the way it is mate. With a certain lot on here, win lose or draw tonight, it'll be Ireland v Ireland with their opinions anyway:pac: Some people are never happy.

pjohnson

Right. Now if anyone else want to change the flippin title just go away and make ye're own thread. :P

I first read that as "Burst that cyst" spent a couple of minutes being confused and a little grossed out.

Lads, I'm honestly more nervous now than I was getting my Leaving Cert results or when the missus whipped out a pregnancy test kit last year. We have to get it done in 90 mins and I genuinely won't be able to watch if it goes to penalties.

Unbelievably jealous of anyone going to the game, and those who are make your voices heard! I'm finished work at half 5 and heading around to a mates with 6 cans straight after. COYFBIG!

Sometimes I'm sad I'm not this passionate about the NT anymore, then I think about John Delaney and I'm okay with it.

Im guessing we are going to use the diamond formation. Surely we need the two up front. Im not a fan of Long but i guess we need him tonight.

I'd a dream last night. Bendtner the plank started and got an early goal and did the sssh celebration. They went full park the bus and we roared on battering them without getting a goal. McClean's foaming at the mouth at this stage and manages to clobber one home from a tight angle on the hour. Into the last 5 mins and it seems like a fairytale ending could be on the cards. Eventhough I'm dreaming I can feel my heartbeat in real life pounding. Board goes up...4 mins. Roy Keane (???!!!) gets the ball deep and starts an attack...then my f*cking dog wakes me up as he's jumping all over my bed. I nearly caught the c*nt and threw him out the window.

Obviously hoping for the best tonight but think my dream would be a little prophetic. Think they score early, we play incredibly well, equalise but fail to get the last one. Mix of pride and anger at the final whistle.

I don't usually see the point of betting on a game like this but worth a couple of quid

spock.

A 0-0 draw is as short as 3/1 with some bookmakers.
I don't think I've ever seen odds so short on a scoreless draw.

Kermit.de.frog

I'm going for a 0-0 victory. It will get us the point we need.

Iang87

Its getting real lads.

My day pretending to work but secretly watching videos of past successes has built itself up in me and an hour ago I had no fear we'd win now i'm terrified we wont. The nation will hold its breath for a few hours later

Longer to score the winner in extra time, it won't be pretty but we already know that.

If we were offered at the start of the campaign a decider in the aviva for a place in Russia we'd have taken the nuts off the lad offering it. Come on lads. You can ****ing do it.

Kerrydude1981

Ive convinced myself that the lads are going to do it,its not going to be pretty but getting the result is all that matters tonight.

A nail biting 1 nil win for the boys in green

If this match is scoreless at 30mins it means that the last 10 hours of play-offs have been scoreless.

Indeed but only a win will do for us. They go through with a win or score draw.
I still think we'll win 2 nil.

Meyler back in for O'Dowda. Aside from that exact same team XI as Saturday.

Ah fcuk. The Dunphy & Boards brigade be raging.

Mantis Toboggan

As predicted COYBIG

pjohnson

Meyler is a big plus. Should free up Hendrick and Arter. Meyler should also track Eriksen.

Now we just need to hope Brady can put in good deliveries!

Poor team selection, but not that surprising from MON.
Need that luck and fighting spirit to get through this, go on the lads.

D.Q

Murphy up front by himself again, flicking it on to no one. I think long would be better in that chasing role.

Mr.Nice Guy

I hate to say it but I think we needed to be more adventurous than this. This looks a side designed to contain rather than attack. It looks like MON is content to play for a 1-0 despite the risk that poses.

If the tactic works great, but I think the Danes will get a goal. I feel like we will be in a situation where we will be throwing on Hoolahan and Long with a half an hour to go, not just to get the breakthrough but probably to get an equaliser too.

Really hope I'm wrong and this winds up a Bosnia-esque performance but this looks like it has draw written all over it. Very nervous now.

Typical.

Go out in a must win game and pack 10 men behind the ball and let the opposition dominate possesssion and creat loads of chances while you're hoping for a set piece where either the delivery will be poor or one of the CBs will foul.

If we go out which the consensus should be based on how the game will invariably go(unless we rob them ala Germany/Wales) MoN needs to head off.

We're capable of doing more than a San Marino and just kicking the ball away cause apparently leaving two ahead of the ball is too adventerous.... sigh

Agent Coulson

So Long and Hoolahan on for the last 20 minutes if we are still in it then.

Doctor Jimbob

At least give it until half time before this level of giving out FFS.

They were dying to see Hoolahan left out so they could start!

That's like telling a fella being brought to a Rom Com to see is it any different.

Sorry but we've seen this story enough times you at least know how it'll go.

Mantis Toboggan

Long, hoolahan and Mcgeady/odowda provide big impact off the bench.

Rekop dog

Denmark bring in Poulsen and Christensen. Would be nice to have the luxury of starting two fresh Champions league level players.

Anyone who thinks anything other than extreme caution is the way to go against a vastly superior side is away with the fairies. Luckily our team is in extremely safe hands and we have shown the ability to nullify these sorts of threats.

Necro

Not happy Murphy is starting again. Just doesn't offer enough attacking threat on his lonesome up front. We're relying on a set piece again aren't we
