Sad to say but we need to get to half time at 0-0. Woeful stuff so far.

Ooh Duff
We've been murder so far. Central midfield is a big, big problem.
We started brightly but then, as usual, our centre mid gets taken over. We still look threatening down the wings when we get the ball into the right positions though.
Weiss is looking pretty scary so far.
Ha ha I already have 3 bookies and about 5 poker accounts so a bit late for that - lol.
I need a new poker account now though as I can't win on the old sites anymore, seem they have flicked the doom
switch.
I has $25 all in and I had best hand, he needed to hit two tens on the trot to win combined odds of 17x25= about 425-1
It's rare I bet that kind of amount and the one time I do a 425-1 shot comes in. Rigged? You bet it is!!
Two sites seem to have flicked the doom switch on me, so I think I will close one and open one at bet365 - can't be any worse.
Poor game. Slovaks have been the better side without being great themselves.
We need a fecking miracle - bring on Hunt!!!
Its not just Andrews and Whelan though. Some of the passing has been absymal from the likes of Duff and O'Shea. The Ward cross right at the end of the half. Is that the real Kevin Doyle out there? Never seen him play that badly. Luckily they don't have a decent center forward. Got to improve in the second half.
Duff's done well, McGeady has seen a lot more of the ball but Duff has made far more of an impact on the game. The centre-backs have managed well but Slovakia look dangerous every time they play a diagonal ball. The strikers have had nothing to work from and Slovakia have had far too much time on the ball in midfield. Trap will have to earn his corn now.
Poor all round. Nobody has played particularly well. Too many misplaced passes, sloppy at times. Midfielders in particular are not performing well. Hopefully they can pick it up in the second half.
Nice unorthodox challenge by Sledge
Planking?
Looking a little better in this second half, we are matching them at least.
A hand ball? ;)
Lads, was it a penalty?
Paul McGrath is here.
Get him on!!
I hope we are not relying on Duff to score.
What a block Sledge! Get Hunt on!
Very poor Irish performance so far. Slovakians looking more likely winners here.
Hunt for McGeady and Cox for Doyle please
Get Duff on the left, stop their RB from bombing forward to support Weiss and it will stop Duff having to come inside, instead he can put some crosses in for Doyle
Or Cox
**** me...get the tank
Jesus even Shay has got the jitters.
How is that any different from bouncing the ball?
Ward having a decent game which is the only positive I can take from this game so far.
I would take a draw now.
Duff is playing well and Sledge and Dunne doing a good job at the back.
I can see this going in
We need some kind of spark; I'll say it agin please bring on Hunt!!
Slovaks all over us. They really fancy their chances of grabbing a winner here.
Oh my Robbie :( Blame the MLS
nnnnnnno
Robbie misses a sitter of a header. Harder to miss it. Think he thought the goalie was going to clobber him.
This is what happens if Duff can get crosses in. Has McGeady even put one ball into the box?
Am sorry but where the **** is Hunt?
