Slovakia vs. Armenia

[tricky_colour]

armenia free

[Noelys Guitar]

nice bit of play from Armenia

[dantheman]

armenia free?

Not yet. Its considered a Semi-consolidated Authoritarian Regime. But still better than life under the USSR I'd imagine

[Fergie's Son]

We have to hope Amernia can pull out a result.

[dantheman]

Lucky escape there

[Sullivinho]

Armenia remind me of Cyprus, very busy and industrious.


Well, Slovakia can always drop points away to Macedonia as well

I fancy that happening actually, a bit more than an upset tonight anyway.

[DannyInvincible]

Not sure how that stayed out.

[DannyInvincible]

Good quality stream here and doesn't seem to be cutting out: http://livetv.ru/webplayer.php?t=justintv&c=dimon1977_22&lang=en&eid=85189&lid=112153&ci=323&si=1

[tommy_c12000]

Jesus Dan you're having great banter in that chatroom!

[geysir]

Is the stream stuck in fast forward, x2?

[tricky_colour]

I just backed Armenia to draw, I have already lost £2 on Ireland winning.

I just kep doubling up the stake - I am bound to win eventually.

[IsMiseSean]

Whats Wayne Barnes doing reffing a football match??

[tricky_colour]

That last link keeps pausing, could be my ISP though, I am supposed to get 10 meg. i'm lucky if I get 1/4 that,
sometimes I have been getting 1/20th of what I pay for!!!

[Noelys Guitar]

Armenia playing well. Forcing Slovakia back

[davey]

Sorry for being pig ignorant but can anyone explain the connotations of slovakia drawing this.

Cheers

[IsMiseSean]

Phew...

Betting here, 5/6 for a result atm

[Fergie's Son]

It reduces their total available points and means that we can finish ahead of them if we win both of our remaining matches.

[DannyInvincible]

Why 4 minutes of stoppage time? That to make up for the 4-minute loop earlier?

[dantheman]

Sorry for being pig ignorant but can anyone explain the connotations of slovakia drawing this.

Cheers

If they draw:

Two wins and we make the playoffs at least,
Should slovakia beat russia, we'll win group

[geysir]

which stream is working best?

[French Toasht]

The thought has just occured to me that if Armenia win this game, they are very much back in the group. The group would stand:

Russia 17
Ireland 15
Armenia 14
Slovakia 14

They would have qualification for the playoffs in their own hands, which is more than we can say for ourselves at the moment.

[geysir]

ht, still 0-0. hmmmm

[Noelys Guitar]

H-t and 0-0 You get the feeling if Armenia can keep it at 0-0 into the last 20 or so mins then they will get a couple of clear chances. They have the pace to get the other side of the Slovakian defense.

[DannyInvincible]

which stream is working best?

It's hard to know; for some reason, they all stop when I open them at once. :p

This one's good quality but the images lag now and again: http://livetv.ru/webplayer.php?t=justintv&c=dimon1977_22&lang=en&eid=85189&lid=112153&ci=323&si=1

Sound is OK, but there are two laptops using my connection at the minute, so maybe the lagging has to do with that.

0-0 at half-time anyway. Going well for us.

yes but should Armenia win the match, we would also have qualification in our hands. Plus a draw against armenia and Russia not losing in Bratislava means we would make playoffs. Tis complicated

They can only get a maximum of 20 points. We can get a maximum of 21 points, so not sure how it would be within their own hands. Plus, they'd have to beat us in Dublin and Macedonia before that.

Edit: Sorry, yeah. I see what you mean. It's in their own hands in so far as there's a possibility they can beat us.

[French Toasht]

If they won, then it would be back in our hands.

It would be in their hands too, which is the point I'm making. They beat us and Macedonia, then they would have second at worst.

[tricky_colour]

You might also notice Armenia have scored the most goals 13, that's 7 more than Slovakia.!!

If they beat us, we can only get a max of 18 points. They can get a max of 20 points. Thus they finish higher.

[Noelys Guitar]

Showing the highlights of Holland v Russia was that 2008? for some reason at half time

[DannyInvincible]

If they beat us, we can only get a max of 18 points. They can get a max of 20 points. Thus they finish higher.

18 would be our maximum potential, but I see what you mean. Still, if they beat Slovakia, it's as much back in our hands anyway as it would be in their hands.

Thats the one I´m on now, just a bit choppy except the half time banter seems to flow.

[Yard of Pace]

So....how many pairs of hands is it in now?

[elroy]

A draw is the best result tonight. Reason being is its all we need to have it in our own hands and its keeps Armenia that little further back.

We then would like Slovakia to beat Russia and we beat Andorra and Armenia. All adds up to first spot for us. This is the best case scenario so lets hope for that. But for now the keep point is a draw tonight puts second place in our own hands.

[Charlie Darwin]

Slovakia should be at least one up by now. Armenia will cause us problems in Dublin and we will need either luck or absolute precision to beat them.

[DannyInvincible]

Oof, good effort from Armenia there.

[Noelys Guitar]

Almost 1-nil Armenia great shot and great save

[geysir]

That shot had the slovak goalkeeper flying at full stretch. good save.

[geysir]

okay, great save.

[tricky_colour]

this one seems to pretty decent now. still stop start but not too bad.

[paul_oshea]

How far behind are ye

[Charlie Darwin]

I've noticed the Slovakian commentator pronounces Skrtel's name with a heavy emphasis on the "el" unlike the commentators in England. Ironically, it's the same emphasis they incorrectly used to put on Mark KinSELLa.

[elroy]

Game can be got with english commentary on betfair as well.

According to him this is the easiest of Slovakia's remaining fixtures.

[born2bwild]

Spot the difference compared to the Ireland match - Armenia are trying to score. Slovakia must be confused.

[paul_oshea]

How long is gone?unlike us Slovakia are last minute goal specialists.

Im still celebrating being proud enough to be able associate myself as a fellow countryman of Richard dunne
