does anyone think the bulgar coach looks a bit like putin.
Doesn't surprise me eastern Europeans still wearing flares.
Defending by oth teams is shocking but it's making for an entertaining game. Bul should have been 2 u0p by half time but Cyp have come in to it a lot and should have drawn level. How the Bul defender stayed on when he pulled down the Cyp centre forward is beyond me ! home town decision if i ever saw one...
Bulgaria all over them, can't believe they haven't scored again yet
Bulgarians look like they got a big boost from getting a point from us. Look a different team today. Bit wobbly at the back but they are pouring forward in numbers.
Last ditch defending from the Cypriots prevents another goal.
bit late, but live stream here.

The heat is always a problem for Irish players. Against Albania in 2003, they struggled to cope at home!!!Quote:

Best to play at night, when it's a bit more bearable.
Cyprus should have scored there...clear in!@
should have been another cyprus goal. bulgaria are terrible at the back. We should definitely score 1 or 2 over there. Montenegrin was right.
Update; crc is still out. :pQuote:

exactly those who are looking at the match should see that cyrpus have had the more clear cut chances. However i can see bulgaria getting lucky as cyprus press hard for an equaliser...Quote:

That time wasting from Bulgaria was pathetic, one of the worst dies and fake injuries ive seen in a long while.
Unfortunate omission of a letter there.Quote:

come on cyprus, they're putting the pressure on now
all he had to do there was flick it on and htere was a free man in the box...
how have they not scored?
the cypriots lack that bit of composure on the ball at times. sometimes vital...
5 mins of added on
3 mins of injury left.
Last 15 mins has been all cyprus, but lacking in the final third.
he clearly kicked the ball away there! what's the ref doing?
"...and Konstantinou, his legs just failing him again..." :D
3 minutes of the injury time remain. Looks like the Cypriot storm has abated.... unless...
Bulgars nearly make it 2 in injury time. Keeper saves.
bulgaria have a free. ITs all but over.
Just to sum up, there is nothing to fear of bulgaria going on this, however we rely on others to do jobs for us than being capable of doing it ourselves. SO I think a draw is all we will get out there.
Cyprus have the creativity of a team of Glenn Whelans
2-0....
2-0.
we could never do that could we?!
Ah well.
2-0 Bulgaria
2-0, oh well. Petrov class to set it up!
are Oireland playin tonight????
petrov was class. The difference.
We are in serious trouble.
Bulgaria are well back in contention.
Bulgaria are a bit shaky at the back but they look bloody useful going forward and that's without Berbatov, M Petrov and Bojinov.
Oh well, it always looked like being one of those nights as far as we were concerned. On the plus side that means Cyprus are out of contention, perhaps they'll be a little less motivated when they come to Dublin with nothing to play for.
And will this mean people give us a little credit for our performances in this group so far? Cyprus didn't cause us half as many problems as they did Bulgaria, and Bulgaria showed themselves to be very dangerous in the final third (great ball for the second) against Cyprus, but created next to nothing against our heavily defensive set up.
cheers trap
