Cyprus went close again.
report just in there. the czechas beat san marino 7 nil
2-2, Dunne with a header:).
2-2 big richie
Goal..2-2
great header but still, this is shocking...Paddy Kenny instills no confidence...
another one before half time would be nice
Could be another 3 or 4 goals in this match.
are we really looking at mcshane and o'brien for weds???
Cyprus hit crossbar:eek:. Half time now...
crossbar, good save kenny
Crossbar......Cyprus. Jaysus, we should be down by two, no?
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)
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.
i dont know why staunton doesnt tll them to keep giving the ball to Duff and McGeady as they're tearing them apart everytime
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.
at this rate wednesdays gonna be a disaster. scotland are one up against france
he probably has some young lad giving instructions to the subs to relay it back to the bench
heres hoping for a better second half
Other Internationals can be discussed here
cyprus penalty
donkey does it again
oh jesus :o
everyone here knew o'brien needed to be taken off, the irish management team of course knew better!
Take Him Off Now
3-2 konstantinou
what's happened??
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
what a shower of *******! will robbie and the lads be out "celebrating" again tonight like nothing happend, stan your a clown!
Can someone please tell me what happened? I can't hear or see the game here in the UK.
