It's like smoking. You know it does more harm than good but no matter how rationally you try to think about it it just keeps its hold of you. Damn football.

Well best i can do right now is rte radio and they say the cyprus fans could not care less and are more curious about how Greece does so the atmosphere shouldnt be a problem....

Poor, poor first half. Long ball and their keeper has not had to make one save other than a flap. Other than Doyle, Whelan, Given and Andrews who are doing their jobs the others look out of sorts. Too much long ball stuff. We nned to create a few chances and hopefully put them away. They look as likely to score as us. And the other results are all going against us.

we are a shockingly average team. Our midfield is non-existent.

I honestly believe Trapatoni doesnt rate our players (playing and absent for whatever reason) at all. I cant believe we are playing such tripe.

I've just joined the action on Boo Boys link. Was going to ask how the 1st half went but Noely has just about summed it there. Don't think i'll ask for any more info!...

listening to Giles, Souness and Dunphy and i have to say i agree with everything they are saying based on the rubbish ive been watching.

I still think we can win this game Tipp. A few adjustments might do it. What is worrying me are the performances from Dunne, O'Shea, Kilbane, Keane, Duff, Keane and Hunt. Poor so far.

Hunt did one good thing in the entire 1st half, a defensive header to Shay. Otherwise, he wasted every ball he got. McGeady HAS to be brought in ASAP to create incisive moves and get ball to Robbie.

ps. Where's Glenn Whelan?!!

Andy Reid sorely missed

The funny thing is how many people were raging on and on about Folan on here after last game.

We are in seroius danger here, I'm not sure what exactly the midfield are there for tonight. Everything is long ball over the top, if he was going to do that he should have started Folan. Only hope is a tap in from a corner or free kick.

Its Brian Kerr. He wants his job back.

thats Doyle and Duff who have committed 2 atrocious dives in this game.

sad thing is if we win everything is still rosy in the garden. I hate watching us play like this. I dont remember it being this hard to watch Ireland under Charlton (but maybe im just a little more sophisticated now.... haha)

We still had some very good footballers under Charlton. I cant say the same about now at the moment.

I agree completely. Team has no life. It would be boring as hell if it wasnt so important.
Richard Dunnes new defensive strategy seems to be tackling the opposing player.

McGeady coming on, would like to see Folan too (for I, Keano) if we are going to persist with this long aimless ball.

05/09/2009, 7:54 PM
O'Shea shouldn't be in this team, I hate the way in International football the players are only in the squad because of the team they play for (Keith Andrews moving from MK Dons at 27 an example).
Crosby87
05/09/2009, 7:54 PM
Thank God he is making a substitution. Hunt was awful I hope he never starts a game for us again.
SkStu
05/09/2009, 7:55 PM
Hunt was terrible. Nothing more than an impact sub at this level. Would rather see Andy Reid ahead of him everytime.

Good job O'shea, why give Ireland a goal kick when you can give Cyprus a throw?
