Mentioned earlier.

Hungary have come into this in the last 5 minutes. Our final ball has been sloppy.

[geysir]

Links are the same no matter where you are in the world

[Fixer82]

yeah just copped that. thanks ;)

[MeathDrog]

Keane has been woeful so far.

[paul_oshea]

dunne has a great colour on him from italy...

[Fixer82]

who's the co-commentator? he's brutall. sounds like Frank Stapleton's little brother

[theworm2345]

Sloppy so far, no final ball. Doyle looking good. Co-commentator is Curtis Fleming.

[geysir]

Not a bad game, both teams are up for it.

[shakermaker1982]

We look a bit shaky in defence.

Doyle looks sharp.

[Fixer82]

Ah good old Curtis. I'll give him a break so

[paul_oshea]

this commentator is mentioning injuries having cleared up too much for my liking...

some good passing so far. My friend ward not afraid to attack either.

[paul_oshea]

This is proving a very good test for Given.

[geysir]

Shay is getting a good workout.

[geysir]

O'Shea is showing signs of rust.

[tricky_colour]

my stream is premier sport, is that what everyone has?

[MeathDrog]

Our passing has improved a lot IMO.

[geysir]

I have coolsport on and it's excellent

Coolsport is streaming Premier Sports, who in turn have a Setanta feed. Breen and Kerr in the studio.

[DannyInvincible]

That's twice St. Ledger has lost his footing; the second time very nearly costly.

[SkStu]

im presuming that is to do with the pitch though? (following on extratime text updates)

[backstothewall]

I hope Ward is OK. Their #9 is dreadful.

[Fixer82]

great tackle by Ward. should have been 1-0 to the Hungarians. They're the better team to be honest at the moment

[geysir]

Was it Ward who nearly lost his foot there with that stamp on his outstretched leg, I thought it was St Ledger

[paul_oshea]

long and walters have given a doyle a serious kick up the backside.

Ive noticed the 3 games we have played this year, we are far more attack minded, and passing the ball, a lot less of hoofing it into the box when we get down the wing as well, but I also notice our shape is not as good as it was, we are less compact
for a start.

great pull back and great block by ward. Our defence looks very shaky.

[MeathDrog]

Sledge and Ward have been poor so far, Sledge more so. Good tackle by Ward late on though.

[swinfordfc]

only saw last 10mins .... ireland being poor ... hungary not one game in last 9 matches i think

[shakermaker1982]

I subscribe to Premier Sports. This is the 2nd thing I have watched on it in 2012!

Poor first half performance. The Trap will not be happy. Whelan & Andrews need to go up a few gears.

[paul_oshea]

kerr and breen saying the same thing, we appear to be to open and whelan and andrews not sitting deep enough in front of the central defenders when we dont have the ball

[paul_oshea]

this coolsportz is pausing for me a bit too often, sound is fine, anyone got another link?

You're missing out on some quality Conference matches. I wish they'd show a highlights show though. They also have GAA, boxing, and NHL as well as some other stuff. I believe it was started by the same people from Setanta UK.

[tricky_colour]

subs at half time?

[shakermaker1982]

Given might be off according to twitter?!

[tricky_colour]

looks like given has been subbed cos trap is happy with his form and want to take no further risk?

[DannyInvincible]

Given has proven fitness so taken off to keep him safe.

[DannyInvincible]

Commentator saying it mightn't be long until McClean gets a run-out. Is he on bench then?

Walters also on for Doyle, by the way.

[EastTerracer]

The teamsheet seemed to only have seven spaces for subs but according to the hacks on twitter Trap can pick subs from the full squad of 23.

[swinfordfc]

Ireland getting destroyed .....

[shakermaker1982]

We are an absolute shambles at the moment. Full backs not closing men down quick enough. Whelan & Andrews overrun.

[geysir]

There isn't another team who hoofs the ball as much as we do, probably we are the last of the hoofers.

[paul_oshea]

great thing about this irish team, in an instant the confidence and optimism disappears.

[DannyInvincible]

Robbie off for Cox. Cox wasn't on the seven-man list of subs on the team-sheet so looks like full squad is available.

Good effort from Walters.

Hunt on for Duff too.

[shakermaker1982]

Spot on Paul. To think I thought we could get 5 points before this game.....I'm now *****ing myself.

[swinfordfc]

Keane off ..... about time ... not in it tonight
good shot by Walters

[MeathDrog]

Worrying how poor Keane looked less than a week before the Croatia game. I know nobody has covered themselves in glory so far but still.

[swinfordfc]

thats better ... abit of pressure

The image posted earlier is not an official teamsheet (like the one the Match Commissioner would have), the official one looks more like a spreadsheet and has room to fill in things like cards, bookings, subs, and goals.

[geysir]

Spot on Paul. To think I thought we could get 5 points before this game.....I'm now *****ing myself.

Realistically, 5 points?

One point would be an achievement, anything after that is overachieving.

[shakermaker1982]

I was going for

1-1 Croatia
0-0 Spain
1-0 Italy

[tricky_colour]

very clever of trap to lead Italy and Spain into a false sense of security ;)

[swinfordfc]

mcgready more central has help in the last 10 mins ......
