2-3 Ireland
2 - 0 Czechs :(
ya 2 - 1 or 3 - 1 czechs is my fear.
I reckon though the way the team has been going an agonising draw.
We'll win because we actually have some good players that can play a bit & for once we'll actually ride our luck abit away from home.
Unless a tactical masterstroke is pulled I expect not to credit management in any shape or form as this group of players is experienced and can play a big game in 4-4-2 on autopilot.
do i sense a hint of sarcasm there stuts, just a subtle hint mind.
3-1 to the czechs.
Praying for 2-1 to Ireland though, have 20 at 16-1 on that
bet against ireland, betting for ireland will never win ye anything!!
5-1 to czechs - hope i'm wrong but if our defence falls apart like it did on Saturday...
After all of the analysis, post mortems, two cents worth, predictions - what's mentioned above is key.Quote:

No just a totally misguided sense of optimism coupled with a lack of confidence that management can add any value to the process.Quote:

In other words, we're hopeful we prevail despite the management.Quote:

Ok well if you shout loud enough tonight at the screen then that optimism might be heard and wash off on the players
I'll go for a draw with us taking an early lead and giving it away as per usual, say 1-1.
I normally have a guaranteed idea in my head as to what way a match will go and would bet or predict accordingly..however for this game I haven't a clue
I look at us and say we are poor ..the czechs will win
I look at the czechs and see they are in tormoil and they are actually poor enough...we will win
I then look at our ability to hold possession and think...hmm we will lose
I then look at doyles honesty up front and think ya he will score....Maybe a draw
I then got a pain in me noggin and gave up
This game could go either way because of the poor quality of the two teams and our manager......so I will just watch and bite me nails and skull a few pints
We'll win, just to keep the agony going for a bit longer.
Robbie Keane to score the winner, then he'll run over to the Ireland dugout and summasault straight into Stans open arms.
That's it, yes.Quote:

judging by that rosicky thinks they are going to beat us comfortably by 2 goals or so....
and let in 3....tooQuote:

Ah balls,I must've woken up before he got to that bit!
Unfortunately I agree, but, I'm praying we jam a 94th min winner after conceding an 85th min equaliser.Quote:

Got 14/5 on a draw, pretty good odds considering Ireland are crap holding onto a lead away from home and that the Czechs would be happy with a draw.
2-1 win. Keane & Doyle
I'm just laughing out loud here at work like a spa, but that is brilliant. I have visions of it right now!Quote:

I a going looking at Timofte against bonner for inspiration.
He also called JOS a useless, overpaid, muppet and compared Stan to a village idiot. Harsh, but true.Quote:

I've 5euro on it @ 100/1
At Worst:
2-1 Czechs
With Ireland taking a 1-0 lead.
We've gone a few games unbeaten so we are due a defeat.
Actually I think I'll take my chances with the lotto. God only knows what will happen tonight!
We'll probably get a draw. Pretty useless for us but not a disgrace in our current state but it will ensure we won't be headin' for the Alps come next Summer. Supposedly we're already certain of a 3rd seed for the World Cup qualifiers even so - we'll finish the group pretty well with a surprise victory over the already qualified Germany at Croker, revenge over the Cypriots a few days later but will disappointingly draw away to Wales in Cardiff in our last game to see us secure a comfortable 3rd place.
In the World Cup Qualifiers we come of age with Reid and Hunt playing a staring roll and with Kevin Doyle on top form as well as his Reading team mate Shane Long we finish in 2nd place, just behind top seeds Holland (Sweden finish 3rd in our group). In the play-off's we narrowly defeat Portugal 5-4 over the 2 legs and are off to South Africa to get sunburnt and go on a safari to see elephants. Hooray! :cool:
Czechs 3 Ireland 0
Hard to call. We've got to end that away record. We know we've got to win, so I wonder will that work in our favour? Might be like the N.Ireland in 93 when we had to win. We've always loved a comfort zone but that's gone now. I expect a draw, but wouldn't rule out a win. We'll concede at least a goal I reckon.
And we drew!Quote:

Yeh I know :rolleyes:. That team had a different mentality as well. It's going to be very tough tonight. God only knows what awaits us!Quote:
