Wales v. Republic of Ireland - Monday, 9th October 2017 - World Cup 2018 Qualifier

[jbyrne]

I'm not a Whelan fan at all but I'd have no great preference for Arter starting tonight, truth be told. He's looked indisciplined and a bit of a headless chicken for us so far. Whelan might be the more obvious choice to deal with the threat of Ramsey.

Preferably Hoolahan would just start though but can't see it happening after the amount of game time he got on Friday.

agree. just cant understand the fuss over Arter. not sure he has offered a lot in his appearances to date and he was very stupid squaring up to the Moldovan last Friday, that led to the Moldovan red, a couple of mins after being booked himself.

I think the fuss over him is the usual story that a players reputation can increase with the fans the more that player sits on the bench for us and isn't picked.

Any team news yet?

I'm well up for this tonight lads. I just went into Tesco's and caught a big bunch of leeks and threw them onto the ground.

Then went to the daffodil section of the local garden centre and bought 200 packets of daffodil bulbs - I'M NOT GOING TO PLANT A SINGLE ONE!

COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!

Outrageous.

In retaliation for this act of aggression, I will lobby my AM to propose a tariff on Guinness imports.

is this it on SC4? Cymru v Gweriniaeth lwerddon.
Translated I guess it reads, Wales v Irish scúmbags.

You lads are mad for the old tarrifs these days. First Brexit. Now this.

Sorry, just saw it now. Thanks

Very harsh on O'Dowda to be dropped after Fridays performance.

[mark12345]

Ireland: Randolph, Ward, Clark, Duffy, Christie, Brady, Hendrick, Meyler, Arter, McClean, Murphy

Would have liked to see Wes like every other Irish fan, but lets just kick that to the curb for the time being. Arter's performance in breaking up Ramsey-Allen axis is going to be crucial. Hopefully Brady plays wide right and McClean wide left. That gives me a glimmer of hope. Huge game for Hendrick and Meyler - they have to play their absolute best tonight.

[mark12345]

Very harsh on O'Dowda to be dropped after Fridays performance.

It is to be fair. He was excellent. He might have a role from the bench like McGeady, Maguire, Hogan.

Anyone know what "Goal!!" in Welsh is?

Well we are ‘C’ Celts and they are ‘P’ Celts so I’m gonna go with Púl

That's the lineups/formations submitted to FIFA/UEFA, but probably nothing to be read into that.

Any suggestions for streams outside Ireland?

[NeverFeltBetter]

There's a certain method in the madness regarding Hoolahan I suppose, but that just begs the question of why he played so much of the Moldova game.

Just can't see it happening tonight. Hope I'm wrong, but feel a score draw is likely.

Reddit soccer streams is your friend

Technophobe here. Never on reddit. Can I be lazy and get a link to there?

I sent you a PM on another matter totally unrelated to your request for an illegal stream ; )

We've got 90 minutes to try and win this. Total waste of Wes' ability to limit our most potent attacking threat to just 15/20 minutes at the end. Wes should have been rested (either earlier or completely) against Moldova, should be starting tonight and should have been kept on until his legs were gone.

O'Neill was saying there in the pre-match interview with Tony on RTÉ that starting two games in four days would be too much for Wes. That's crazy, as if to suggest there's nothing that could have been done about it. The obvious solution would have been to rest Wes last Friday (and bring him on late then if we were desperate for a goal). This is the game where we really need him and it hasn't popped out of the blue. We've also known for ages that Wes has difficulty with games in quick succession. It's really poor management.

[tricky_colour]

Well I am on SC4, the interview with Chris Coleman was in English though!

It is the best picture I will get, I think I will mixture of the live commentary in Welsh for the atmosphere and some radio commentary for the game.

I can also have subtitles on but they are gonna be in Welsh so no good to me!

Ansolutely. If we can’t beat Moldova without Wes there’s something seriously wrong.
He should’ve been tested or taken off at half time

[osarusan]

No Wes.

F**k off O'Neill, you have so little faith in your players.

[osarusan]

That anthem was spine-tingling.

[TonyD]

Someone wake me up when Ireland get the ball.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Can't keep a hold of it at all. How were we, at one point, almost looking likely to top this group?

[KrisLetang]

What can we really expect though? its not a good lineup.

[KrisLetang]

9 UEFA games going on right now and no one has scored yet.....

[tricky_colour]

The game is quite watchable in Welsh actually, the SC4 feed is more delayed than the mamahd internet stream about 30 seconds behind.
.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Bit better there I suppose. All it might take is a lucky kick in a penalty box muddle.

[KrisLetang]

People who do not seem to be fans of either team are saying how electric it seems on TV.

[NeverFeltBetter]

Getting the feeling the ref is getting a bit annoyed at Welsh whining. Might be useful.

All nine internationals still 0-0 after 34 minutes. I wonder if that's ever happened before.

[tricky_colour]

Allen deserved a smack

[KrisLetang]

And you deserve a snack!

[KrisLetang]

Iceland have finally opened up the scoring. So close. Just one letter away.

[KrisLetang]

And Macedonia quietly net two.

[NeverFeltBetter]

OK. We've come into the game a bit more after 20 minutes, we haven't given Wales any real chances. The crowd has been quietened. Get Hoolahan on, maybe even (whisper it) Maguire, and see what you can do.

[mark12345]

This game is crying out for Hoolahan. Hendrick has done nothing for 45 minutes. Bring on Wes in his stead, and Murphy's first touch is poor.
Wes in for Hendrick and Hogan/Maguire for Murphy. If you're to be taken seriously Martin give your team a chance of winning this game.

[KrisLetang]

Halftime odds: 13/8 Wales 13/10 Draw 16/5 ROI

[youngirish]

We make Wales minus their 2 best players look like Brazil 1970. We need to dig out some players who can hold possession.
