Match predictions

**Duggie** · 10/09/2008, 8:58 AM

Bloody cant wait for this evening !! I just cant predict this game really cause i havent seen Montenegro. I went for a 2-0 win against georgia which we should have had. Im gonna go for another 2-0 prediction. Hopefully we can cope with the early pressure keep it tight get into the game and score before half time and maybe nick one late in the second half. fingers crossed.

3-0 to Eire. Stephen Reid, Robbie Keane and Andy Keogh

**L37Ultra** · 10/09/2008, 9:02 AM

1-0 to Ireland. Robbie Keane is due a goal.

**newbie** · 10/09/2008, 9:03 AM

2-1 to us with 2 goals from set peices.

**Reality Bites** · 10/09/2008, 9:04 AM

2-2 draw as the Bulgarians - Robbie and Macgeady to open account - I expect opposition to score and we may concede a penalty also ! -they have very tricky forwards!

**Razors left peg** · 10/09/2008, 9:04 AM

Im gonna be ultra confident and say 3-1 with Doyler, Robbie and McGeady scoring.I think they have enough to cause us some problems going forward but I think we are solid enough to hold out and we will keep hitting them on the break and they arent great at the back

**tetsujin1979** · 10/09/2008, 9:10 AM

I think Robbie Keane will score, he has an excellent record under Trapattoni. Head says score draw, heart says away win. Those 2 never agree...

**Jofspring** · 10/09/2008, 9:12 AM

2-1 to ireland

**Claret Murph** · 10/09/2008, 9:24 AM

I will still go with 1-1 and an own goal to boot .

**Duggie** · 10/09/2008, 9:24 AM

lads if we win tonight we could have a max of 15 points before we go away to italy. i think we can beat bulgaria at home and we will take 6 more against cyrpus and georgia at home. tonight could be crucial if we want to qualify as potential group winners i believe.

2-1 to Ireland
Dunne and Keane to score.

**centre mid** · 10/09/2008, 9:42 AM

1-0 Ireland, John O Shea to make up for Saturdays miss.

**amaccann** · 10/09/2008, 9:44 AM

A close game, 1-0 to Ireland with a good few hairy moments. The man of the match will either be Dunne, O'Shea or Given due to several last-ditch tackles and saves.

**gustavo** · 10/09/2008, 9:46 AM

1-1 draw

Keane

**FarBeag** · 10/09/2008, 9:55 AM

I think a 1-1 draw and us having fought a long battle to keep it at that.

**paul_oshea** · 10/09/2008, 10:14 AM

ya the heat is going to seriouslly effect us lads, too many people getting carried away here.

**Saint07** · 10/09/2008, 10:17 AM

2-1 with first goal from set piece. either dunne or o'shea. Paddy Power at lunch time with that!

In this day and age though, is it really such an argument? Professional footballers & all that; surely their training and fitness would help them cope in the heat. Plus, is this typical weather for the region? The home team may not be too chipper either.

I don't know, you tell me?

You get used to your regime and you build up fitness around your own regime, if that regime or environment changes the level of fitness goes out the window.
