You're right. I'm changing my prediction to 5-4 to Cyprus.
(Counter argument is that the 5-2 team were far more disorganised than the Brian Kerr team which only scored once).

i was standing in line with the pen area and the initial shot was a rocket. given did great to get a hand to it and should have been able to rely on one of his players getting to the rebound. i dont judge my standards by junior football standards either and that was a good initial save. your post is overly critical. ball could have been swerving as it approached given for all we know
We'll agree to disagree so.
I wasn't being dismissive by the Junior football reference, apologies if it was taken that way.
When it comes to the general quality of parrying iŽd agree.
Though I really cant decide on that particular shot. Needs more scientific research perhaps? :)
In general i think Goalkeepers could do well with getting experience with volleyball, espec at the net, to develop the knack of the instinctive parry away from danger.
I also suffer from blind optimism. 4-1 Ireland.
Best game yet under Trap
1-0 please god althoguh I'd say I'll be creating walls in my underpants!
McGeady gets 1 Doyle gets 1 Duff gets 1 Hunt gets 1 with a late consolation for the Cypriots from Kilbane
lads what players are missing from cyprus for this game???
See here
i agree and i also think we need to introduce volleyball players into the games to give the keepers the blocking signals....

just a thought
Ive seen worse ideas on here:)
Does Cyprus have any noteworthy players?
Okkas the winger, and some of the squad are going to be playing in the Champions League with APOEL this season
i predict a shortage of toilet roll, nationwide, before and during this match
with a mass shortage of off licence stock following our 1-0 win, courtesy of an undeserved, lucky late winner.
1 nil Ireland. 3 points is all that matters at this stage.
2 or 3 nil to Ireland. Give a goal to Cyprus if Kilbane's playing. Cyprus are good going forward but shaky at the back so we must attack. It's the best form of defence apparently.
Looking at Apoel the other night, and with Cyprus having the nucleus of that team, it's not going to be even close to easy. Some of these predictions are just out the window in terms of reality.
All I know is that Folan has to play or our chances of success are cut in half. Folan and Doyle up front with Robbie feeding them from the middle. Everything should fall into place after that - Duff and Hunt or McGeady on the wings (would have Hunt at left back instead of Kilbane).
I think we will definitely concede, but also score, I'm going for 2 2.
