Slovakia V Republic of Ireland - Tuesday, 12th October 2010 - Euro 2012 Qualifier

Which bit? Good luck in the Interview btw.
If it's about tactics, of course I'll be wrong, I'm stating an observation that perhaps only I see.

About you saying you have a feeling, fully beleive, its in the waters about us wining!!!

Thanks, i honestly am only thinking about the match, so long as when i get there i can get that out of my head for an hour!!!

Ya noely i was half thinking, but i might as well get it out of the way as ive another one tomorrow at 5.30 too!!

[Stuttgart88]

When these dates are announced I automatically rule out any clashing appointments. I had to travel to Hungary on an afternoon's notice one time (when we beat Macedonia at home 1-0 - OCT 99?) and to my delight I found Eurosport showing highlights of the game after midnight in my hotel room. The usual late night hotel channels went unvisited.

Arranging interviews, dates, holidays etc. isn't acceptable Paul!

[paul_oshea]

yes i know stutts but you are very organised and meticulous, my head is like a siv(sp? - not a structured investment vehicle) i only remember whats going on for the evening of any given day. i think i actually need a diary, as pansy and all as that sounds. But dont worry there wont be any missing of the game, and had there been a possibility of that i would have rang to say i had something else on that evening and that i forgot. just be a rush thats all. no questions from me at the end of the interview.

stutts the following morning, "i just stumbled upon it, i didnt know those channels were there"*

*Eurosport you were talking about.

Team announced, according to Enda Brady on twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/endabrady/status/27145748173 (http://twitter.com/#%21/endabrady/status/27145748173)

Ireland team tonight v Slovakia: Given, O'Shea, Dunne, St Ledger, Kilbane, Fahey, Whelan, Green, McGeady, Long, KeaneCan't find it on the usual sources (rte.ie, fai.ie, etc) so don't take it as gold yet

[shakermaker1982]

God I hope Green plays like a cross between Roy Keane and Zidane tonight all in 1 game. I think its last chance saloon for him tonight.

[Noelys Guitar]

Armenia 2-0 up after 17 mins. Could easily be 6. Fahey in so good to see two recent goalscorers in the team

[Closed Account 2]

yep.

Stutts i worked out from door to door from canary wharf it will take me 35 mins so im definitely going there. I hope its not too busy as there are some lovely bar stools around the back side of the bar and a tele in the corner with the sound always up high. Will be aiming for 7.30 to be out of Citi by 7 at the latest.

Looks like I'll prob be heading here too.

[Kingdom]

heard somewhere that John Delaney had purchased tickets locally to help our fans out. dont know for sure its true though

My mate travelled over with no tickets. There were no spares going over with the YBIG crowd which is unusual. Got a text from one of the travelling groups to say there were tickets from touts in one of the hotels @ €x over face value. Rang my mate and sure enough 4 hours before kick off they got tickets, and at a better price than earlier in the day.

Holiday Inn btw!

[Razors left peg]

We need the spirit of Paris tonight. I was as disconsolate as this after the 1st leg of the playoffs and we pulled a performance out of nowhere so Im hoping that we can do it again. But Im at an all time low still after friday. Really hoped in this campaign that Trap had learned the lessons from the playoffs but friday night showed he didnt.

Not at all confident about tonight but COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN

[Exiled]

Trap's tactics are more suited to playing away from home. Confidence will be low but I'm hoping we can grab a draw. I'll got for 1-1 with Long grabbing his second goal in as many games.

[Stuttgart88]

We were awful at home to Bulgaria but much better when we played them away (albeit with Duff).

[shakermaker1982]

Slovakia away brings back very bad memories. I'll never forgot how gutted I was after we conceded that late equaliser. PLEASE GET SOME REVENGE LADS! All guns blazing, a quick two goals and then sit back and soak up the pressure.

[SuperDave]

In other news, Armenia have just moved to the top of the group. Admittedly, they have yet to travel to Russia, Slovakia or Ireland, but still.

[Charlie Darwin]

Dunno if anybody's pointed this out but we're missing the only two players who've ever scored for us against Slovakia.

[OwenGoal]

Link for the match anyone?

thanks

[Noelys Guitar]

Spanish officials for the game.

[boovidge]

hopefully that 900 kbps one will be reliable.

[cestlavie]

Crap line up again, If we loose tonight Trap has to go before we damage our chances any further in this qualifcation. In saying that, I hope we can do something tonight.

[Billsthoughts]

god even the panel on rte lack conviction in their predicition it will all be alrite...hard to tell which way it will go... come on ireland!

[Charlie Darwin]

Stephen Kelly is on the bench?

[tricky_colour]

I am hooping it will be a 'bounce back' performance after the last game, although we did bounce back in
the second half so some extend.

Has the team been issued? I heard it was Long in for Doyle, and the same apart from that?

Any streams?

[theworm2345]

The lads in full voice, give 'em hell

[boovidge]

this ones watchable

http://www.tvbr.net/p/channel-2.html

[tricky_colour]

lol I thought it say 7.45 kick off, so I missed 5 mins, no goals yet though.
Might see if I can stick a bet on somewhere, however we very rarely beat a decent side
away from home, and I think Slovakia would be classed as decent?

[SkStu]

flippin hell Paul Green just cannot pass. Gash.

[tricky_colour]

this ones watchable

http://www.tvbr.net/p/channel-2.html

That's the only one that seems to be accessible, hope nobody pulls the plug on it.

[Paddy Garcia]

Looks like we have no central midfield!

[Paddy Garcia]

[Razors left peg]

I dont think Green should make any passes!!!

he shouldnt pass the touchline on the way to the pitch

[theworm2345]
