[SkStu]

good start. Encouraging. Estonia are looking pretty limited.

[tricky_colour]

So are we ;)

[tricky_colour]

i've gone for 1-2 and 1-3 (a small amount on each)

[BonnieShels]

What's with all the union jacks behind the Estonia goal?

[TrapAPony]

Andrews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theworm2345]

Andrews!!!!! McGeady ****ing crossed it!!!!!!!

[Metrostars]

Andrewsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Closed Account]

quality header. away goal.

[cavan_fan]

Time to keep the heads

[SkStu]

lovely cross, super header.

[tricky_colour]

Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My bet is still on :)

Requires Estonia scoring though.

I expect Trap will park the mini-bus though.

[osarusan]

McGeady cross for Andrews header. Am I in dreamland??

[BonnieShels]

Get in. Kelly having a shocker.

[cavan_fan]

160 minutes to hold on to a 1-0 lead, its Traps idea of heaven!

[tricky_colour]

Too right, I expect he will take the strikers off soon and pack the midfield.

Some of the camera work on skysport1 is shocking (im in a a stream) ie missing crucial bits of play.
(such as Andrew's headed goal!! edit - actually it was not that but from a corner)

[theworm2345]

Is Robbie still in LA?

[SkStu]

smashing tackle Wardy! Good lad!

[SkStu]

theyve obviously pinpointed our full backs as our weak links, especially Kelly. We've stood up to them well but Kelly has been caught out of position a couple of times.

[theworm2345]

Red card, time to put the boot on the throat and kill of the tie tonight.

[SkStu]

terrible, stupid tackle. Deserved to go.

[cavan_fan]

and no debate this time either, 2 clear yellow card the second could easily have been red, not too clever from the defender

[tricky_colour]

Remember the last time we were against 10 men the 10 men scored!!!! (IIRC)
That was the case against Armenia wasn't it?

[tricky_colour]

you see the big danger is us getting over confident with having an extra man and getting caught out 'show-boating'.

[writerbk1969]

Has to hammer home the advantage now, but per usual we wont, mind you , id have taken this after 40 mins

[BonnieShels]

and no debate this time either, 2 clear yellow card the second could easily have been red, not too clever from the defender

It should've been a straight red. Now the question is, would Richie Winters have sent him off?

[TrapAPony]

1-0 up and a man up. Time to attack them and finish the job.

[Maroon 7]

Another Ireland goal would probably finish the tie. Have a feeling we'll just sit on the lead though.

[Noelys Guitar]

We are sure to get at least 4 or 5 really good chances in the second half especailly in the last 20 mins or so. Not happy with either of our full backs and we need to get Duff more into the game. Good shout by Robbie to Ward to stop lumping the ball forward to no one in particular. 1-0 is never enough. This is a real opportunity to kill them off.

[shakermaker1982]

Let's book our place tonight. Another goal & it's game over. That lad who karate kicked Ward is also a lucky boy!!!

[theworm2345]

Maloney had to bring up the Nightmare in Nicosia.

[tricky_colour]

We should try amd finish this here, Estonia have had good results away from home, they would take a 0-1 defeat as a good result to
take to Dublin.

[theworm2345]

This is better...

[shakermaker1982]

On nights like this I wish we still had Steve Finnan.

[frenchman]

anyone got another stream.....?

[tricky_colour]

Ward to the rescue :)

[SkStu]

How can that clash happen. Whelan you muppet.

[TrapAPony]

We are the most frustrating team on the planet

[tricky_colour]

**** I hope Duff is OK

[cavan_fan]

It feels like SHunt time

[theworm2345]

Gooooooooooooooooooooal

[SkStu]

Yessssssssss

[cavan_fan]

yeah, did he score at 11:11 (pm) on the 11/11/11, Estonian time

[ger121]

Let's close this out now and not concede!

[born2bwild]

I just hope we get drawn out to play in Ukraine rather than Poland - Donetsk preferably.

[tricky_colour]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
