Hmmm, 1-0 or 1-1 ? Let's go 1-0 with Cyprus missing a peno.

I will go for a 2-0 win, an early goal that will set us on the way, then we will become cautious and get a relieving late breakaway goal to seal it. I reckon Doyle will score, and a late Duff goal. But as someone mentioned earlier we will have the customary nervy 20 min ........after half time. Cyprus will have about 2 (max) good chances...we are well soild now!!! For the post match g-up im going for some Rory Gallagher......

Hope A Reid gets a run out at some stage, if we are comfortable he may? he will get a massive reception if he gets on, the public like him and we will let Trap know...C mon the boys in green

Sadly - but correctly - I doubt Trap will care what the public thinks.

**Duggie** · 15/10/2008, 3:01 PM

ya unfortunately i dont see reidy getting a run out tonight.

**Pike B** · 15/10/2008, 3:06 PM

2-1 Ireland.

Duff Doyle.

**Noelys Guitar** · 15/10/2008, 3:38 PM

2-0 Ireland. Both goals scored in the last 8 mins. Debutant Caleb Folan to score in the 82nd minute after justing coming on. Keane to score second with a header in injury time.

I'm going to stretch to 3-0 to us ...provided we play as efficiently and tidily as we generally have been doing in the previous two competetive games under Trap.

That's what I'm going for al well.
Revenge will be sweet tonight.

Out on a limb !!

Could have been 6-5 and your on the fence guess (Keane to score Ireland to win) would still be "right"

The 1-1 v Czech Republic on October 11 06 was touted by Stan as a good result...complete bo!!ocks and a huge opportunity missed.

I'm going to be optimistic, go against historic letdowns and a 1-1 gut feeling and go for:

Eire 1 Cyprus 0

I'd say there were a lot of gut wrenching thoughts of a 1-1 throughout that awful disjointed game...or 1-2
