A and C (although i can forgive him A as Hunt is a good impact substitute to change the direction of a game)

The back 4 that played on Saturday were fine so McShane in for Dunne should be the only change. Can't understand why people are proposing that O'Shea deserves a place.
squad:
Given
Finnan
McShane
O'Shea
Kilbane
Hunt
S. Reid
J. O'Brien
Keogh
Doyle
Keane
WHY play Keogh wide again after the game he had......... and if O'brien was so crucial in the centre of defence why move him out for that **** o'shea
Can't get RTE radio at the office. Any live stream of the game?
RTE.ie radio
It's on the medium wave stream.
Lots of empty seats about.
have to say, keogh aside, i think thats almost the best team he has available.
I wait and wonder how the pillock will screw this one up with (almost) his best players on the pitch in the positions they play for their clubs.
Water bottle anyone? Big thumbs up? Something new?
Soccernet has a gamecast. Just about better than nothing.

Not the best, but it may get you by.
Have to say I'm pleasantly surprised with his selection tonight.
1. He hasn't been too stubborn to play Hunt from the start, we will see if he is better as starter or as an impact sub.
2. Keogh had a bad first half against Germany but improved and deserves another chance against a poorer side, if it doesn't work he can go up front and he can bring on McGeady for the last 25 mins.
3. Giving O'Brien a chance in CMF now that we have 2 players that have some experience in CB. The Reid-O'Brien CMF combination could be one for the future and it does no harm to have O'Shea and McShane play together in case Dunne is out injured/suspened in future.
4. Giving Kilbane another crack at LB (a problem position for us) is also good and lots of people on here have been crying out for that.
5. Finnan playing at RB
Anyway we will see how it pans out, especially the Reid-O'Brien combination. I hope it doesn't die a quick death due to a poor performance tonight.
Germany 0-1 Czechs
For me the best one is from sportinglife:

Click on the "Live Minute-by-minute" link under the Ireland-Cyprus score.
Shay Given saves Ireland again.
Should have been 1-0 Cyprus.
This is really poor - too many individuals playing as individuals
Sh!te game no matter which medium you are using to follow it ...... zzzzz
Reid had a great game on Saturday so now they think everything should go through him. All a bit predictable. I'm listening to it on the radio link BTW.
Absolute rubbish.
Cyprus are very comfortable and had the best chance so far.
Jesus - what a let off!!
Cyprus should have scored again. 3 v 1 break and the Cypriot player tries to chip Given from 25 yards.
Shambolic.
The boos ring out at HT.
my god.
Joey O' Brien. Its not your fault
Stan. Resign. If you have the interest of Irish football at heart, leave now
Suits. Grow a pair of balls and admit this has been a shambles. It can be salvaged, just not by this joker
amazing! it's that bad? a country of 788,457 whose players play in a half-decent european league embarrassing us at home?? they must have a good manager so...
Miller for O'Brien
Cyprus hit the post.
We should be getting pumped 3-0 here.
Shocking bad.....can only get better.(in this game) Surely...
The Czechs are 2-0 up, it's well and truely over now anyway.
We couldn't even beat England at this rate.
San Marino have just scored against Wales and it's 2-1 to Wales at the moment. Some spin material for Delaney?
such a ****ing depressing situation to be in....why cant delaney and stan the man please go....i feel sick watching this inept shower.....
McGeady has added a bit of life to the game but his final ball is poor up to now.
