I havent been looking forward to a game that hasnt included ireland like this ever.
Yeah it's true.
Anyway, like a few others, if it came to it, I would prefer a crunch must win against Italy than a 2 legged tie with Russia or croatia.

I find very little enjoyment in watching a game hoping for a draw. You spend the whole game hoping people will miss any chances that come up.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
cautiously inclined?
I dunno: I prefer an outcome that means we're still likely to be in the WC on 15th October over an outcome that makes it far less likely.
If you play Russian Roulette you'd obviously prefer a gun with one bullet in the barrel rather than 2, even if the second gun included a chamber where you'd get a shag with Angelina Jolie if you miss a bullet.
That would be like 3 bullets to me Stutts.
Is there a stream for this or will i have to go to teh pub as usual?!
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Well if we were supporting Bulgaria, I think we'd be realistically saying that we need to go for it and try win this game tonight. Almost the position we were in away to Swiss a few years back. With the attacking power they have, they will cause the Italians problem. The Italians tactics will be more interesting, what kind of mindset will they have. I think tactics ala Trap may be employed, sit back defend and hit them on the break.
Dave as super as you are and all im outside ireland so cant watch rte unless in a pub. I dont really wantt o go to the pub and was hoping for a stream.

I'd say there'll be a few streams kicking about as usual. I just have to decide whether to watch Italy or Scotland. Don't fancy watching a game where I'm hoping for a 0-0 draw, so I might just watch the Scots and keep an eye on here for Ita/Bul updates.
A couple of sites, iraqgoals and adthe have it listed so it should be shown, they are often just copies of justintv links.
Again they could have the plugs pulled on them any at anytime, however you should be able to get it somewhere as Italy are a 'big team' so to speak.
Montenegro V Cyprus ayt 7:15 might be somewhat harder to find.

I think that's right, we need 2 points to guarantee qualification, one is not enough because of goal difference.
So either two draws or one win.
Should we lose to Italy we go into the last game agaist Montenegro needing to win, assuming Bulgaria win their matches.
It would be great if Cyprus could hold Bulgaria to a draw, that is a good possibility as Bulgaria have drawn away to Montenegro and Georgia, that would give us a play-off place.
Even if we beat Italy and Montenegro we'd still still need Cyprus to do us a favour away from home. Play offs it is then!
Yep the play offs , now who we get is another question ..........
