Crossbar......Cyprus. Jaysus, we should be down by two, no?

Shot cleared off the line apparently.
More like 6 yards out.
are we really looking at mcshane and o'brien for weds???
Judging by O'Brien's performance so far I'd be more worried about him playing than McShane or St Ledger.

This is a disgrace. No reason to celebrate that goal. After this, regardless of the score, Staunton has to go. Im very ****ed off.
Nobody can defend this(team), him(stan) or them(fai)
To indicate my interest in the said game, I only remembered it was on when the Scotland France game gave an update of 0-1 on it....to which I gleefully switched over to see 1-1..:rolleyes:
You obviously care enough to want to come on here and broadcast your alleged disinterest.
I suggest you grow up.
Halftime match ratings:
Kenny - 3 :eek:
Finnan - 6
O'Brien - 3 :eek:
Dunne - 7
O'Shea - 5
McGeady - 5
Ireland - 6 (except for goal did nothing else)
Kilbane - 5
Duff - 6
Keane - 6
Morrisson - 4 (has done nothing except fall around for few freekicks)
Tactics are shocking. Its like backs & forwards. McGeady running around like headless chicken chasing fullbacks when he should be tucking back to protect the fullback. Midfield structure all wrong. Funny listening to Brian Kerr as he copes with fact no defensive midfielder

o brien probably needs to be taken off. he is only going to get worse.
he didnt deserve to be dropped after germany game but this performance was always on cards as long as he wasnt playing for club every week. still in with chance of winning this comfortably. need to use duff and mageady as much as possible. too much ball going out to duff where he is double marked. morrison pretty ineffective as well. finnan playin absoluteley terrible.

Scotland 1-0 France :eek:
Sorry nothin' to do with Ireland but...
While i do think the collective defence shocking they not helped by the midfield letting too many players run directly at them in one-on-one situations.
Kenny inspires no confidence & very badly positioned for the 2nd goal. He should have been closer to the edge of the 6 yard box, not 1 yard off his line.

Probably because Stan isn't allowed to have communication with the team or the bench.... ;)

What a joke!
can someone describe it ... Keith O'Neill on Sky Sports News was having kittens ... O'Brien hasn't played for Portsmoputh this year - "You can see why" - O'Neill

Theres going to be more goals in this, I'm not so sure Ireland will be scoring them though :o

the defence is having a shocker, but they've been left to mark two players each on counter-attacks.
ireland's 4-0-6 kamikaze formation doesn't seem to be working out

Bad bad form from ireland and "ireland".
Cypriot Man was down injured and we resort to trying to take advantage of the CYPRIOTS misfortune by playing on
Sad Sad day

if this isnt sacking material what is???
we have a team made up mostly of premiership players, this is unacceptable

I'd imagine the bookies are going to stop taking bets on a Czech win Wednesday night....

Is this the worst Irish side EVER?
blobbyblob
07/10/2006, 5:50 PM
Im close to tears or vomiting - i cant make up my mind which
At the start of Kerrs commentary, I thought he sounded bitter but now hes only speaking the truth. He actually sounds like he is embarressed for staunton.
Whatever about player availablity - the tactics, direction, passion, shape, communication, togetherness, pride - all have disappeared.
4 goals conceeded. european qualifying conceeded.
Close Croke Park Now - They are not worthy. Dalymount should do.
Staunton OUt NOW!

The Czechs will tear us apart.

no this is the worst irish management ever
Kenny, Finnan, Dunne, O'Shea, Duff, Kilbane, Robbie and McGeady are top flight players.
Ireland is a good prospect
Morrison and O'Brien are weak (should be replaced by Lee and St Ledger, stick O'Shea at CB)
This is as good a team as we've had.
Brian Kerr should be feeling very hard done by if they stick with this guy

:mad: im in shock, but not too shocked.
That sums it up really
To be honest I didn't think we'd win this - a draw is what I was expecting ... I wouldn't write off our chances against the Czechs though. Stranger things have happened! As for qualification ... that's it now, yes? For the next year or so we'll be playing for seedings and experience ... :(
