Ireland v Switzerland predictions

[Green Tribe]

Anyone brave enough....? :eek: :D

None of my predictions have been correct lately but to hell..........

Ireland 2-1 Alpine boys

COME ON YOU BOYS IN GREEN!!!!!! :D

[Plastic Paddy]

I'll get drunk and emotional.

:ball: PP

[Tired&Emotional]

1-0 to the Boys in Green.
Swiss only need a draw so may play with 5 across the middle and pack the defence when we push forward....reckon we'll sneek 1 goal to win!!

[zerocoolie]

I second that 2-1 to us over the choccy makers.

I don't think Kenny or Ritchie can keep a clean sheet, but I fancy Keano to get the finger out and break the 7 match duck and Clinto to get the late winner..


Bling bling Clinto, no cubic zirconia for him :)

[Kevin77]

I'll get drunk and emotional.

:ball: PP

Ditto!

1-1. Heartbreaking and will actually be a decent performance. Not good enough, but better than Cyprus (could it be worse?).

[finlma]

2-0 to the boys in green. Robbie and Clint

[ollie]

1-1.
:( :(

[concanta]

The swiss keeper could be one of our most dangerous weapons!!!
2-1 to us - given with another stormer and harte scoring 2 free kicks

[stickyjoe]

hopefully snatch a 1-0 win
and for anyone going to landsdowne road tonight please do your bit. try and get an atmosphere like the french game.

stand up and sing up for the 90 and get to the ground earlier then usual.
lets do our bit for the team :cool:

[Terry]

1-0 to Ireland, morrison to score

[Lionel Ritchie]

2-0 to us.

[mchurl]

has to be a great 2-1 to the irish. the clint will pop up with a late winner after andy reid opens the scoring. Come on the boys in Green!!:D

[Reddladd]

Robbie Keane will score twice............2-0 win.

[gustavo]

1- 0 90th minute winner from anyone i dont care

[drinkfeckarse]

Time to get even with them, what goes around comes around so at the moment I'm thinking 2-1.

[onenilgameover]

Good luck comrades! I'm off to get wrecked drunk. Nerves are at me. 2 - 1 Ireland I reckon/hope.

[Dublin12]

Ireland 0
Swiss 2

End of old Lansdowne Rd,end of us:(

[Peadar]

Referee Markus Merk (GER)
Assistant referee Christian Schräer (GER) Jan-Hendrik Salver (GER)

Fourth official Knut Kircher (GER)

Can't believe we've got poxy German officials again! :mad:
Nice cushy arrangement there between the Swiss and UEFA.

[Kingdom]

Once we get Northern Irish officials when we make the playoffs that will be fine. Oh wait a second....

We've had NI officials down here for the Setanta Cup and they're brutal!
Have no idea how of the rules.
It's unlikely UEFA will use any of them in a game of any consequence.

[Lionel Ritchie]

I think Kingdom was making a different point altogether Peadar.

Illustrating a complexity and dynamic in Swiss-German relations of which we are most likely blissfully unaware and probably best compared to the widely held belief among Danish supporters back in nov 93 that the North would let us **** all over them in Belfast because "..sure aren't they all Irish";)

[Gareth]

Predictions, awh well in a shock turnabout of form ireland stun Switzerland with a comprehesive 3-0 win. A goal from Morrisson, a 44 minute strike by Reid and a debut goal for Kevin Doyle at the death give Ireland a shock place in the world cup finals. This is due to France being STUNNED at home after leading one nil for most of the game, Cyprus won a penalty and scored, giving France a playoff place. Brian Kerr was unavailable afterwards, but he was quoted as saying "Can't wait to see the Indo tomorrow lads".

*sigh* ....

[Peadar]

The officials against France were German and they were total rubbish.

Thanks I think Lionel. God I'm confused now. I was taking the p!ss in my previous post on this topic. I'd imagine there would be some kind of friction between the German German and the Swiss German.

Tbh I'm hedging my bets, and none of this would have to be contemplated if FIFA had of given us Kazakh officials.

:D

[Plastic Paddy]

Well, there's certainly a good relationship between the Germans and Austrians if Anschluss (unfortunate example, I know) and the West Germany-Austria game in the World Cup finals of 1982 were anything to go by. I can't see it being much different where the Swiss are concerned.

The Swiss were neutral though :eek: :p
All that Nazi money was just resting in Swiss bank accounts.

[Lionel Ritchie]

I thought the Austrians sent the Germans home with a late winner. With supposed friends like that ...:confused:

I think it'd be hilarious if somewhere out there on a Swiss/Austrian?German board they were talking about ourselves the English and the Welsh as if we were all the bloody same -just in different colour jerseys.:eek:

[thejollyrodger]

my head tells me a 2-2 draw:(.

No - Algeria led Group B with four points having beaten West Germany 1-0 in an earlier game. The only result that would ensure the Germans and Austria qualified instead was a 1-0 win for West Germany. They scored after about fifteen minutes and then both sides just trotted around as if it was a playground kickabout. Disgusting. :mad:

[Pauro 76]

going to predict us to draw 1-1. Im normally wrong, I hope I am. But I will predict Cyprus to get a last gasp equaliser against France.

[sligoman]

Ireland 1-2 Switzerland. Obviously I hope and pray that I'm wrong but I dont think we'll do it:o :(

[dancinpants]

Despite what I really think - I'm going for Ireland 3-1 Switzerland.

[thejollyrodger]

well at least that result will all save us a few €€€ dancinpants :p

[Green Tribe]

off now to pub to watch the game

COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D
Make noise in Lansdowne, make it hell for the Swiss :mad: Don't let them prevent us from qualifying AGAIN! :mad:

[thejollyrodger]

well, we all predicated a draw. No real surprises I guess.

[Peadar]

Can't believe we've got poxy German officials again! :mad:

Need I say any more!?
