I'm hoping Georgia do us a favor and beat Montenegro, putting them bottom of the table, and giving us a 6 point boost in the best second placed tableCyprus could do us a favour today - positive thinking and all that.
Bulgaria's draw against us doesn't do them any favours unless they beat Cyprus and beat us when we play them again in June.

Heh. No, to be fair to everyone else it's just me. But you do realise that posting random wind-ups tends to get a response in kind? Of course you do
Anyway, enjoy the game tonight.
Im sorry but i can assure you it wasn't intended to be a wind up.
We only can hope that those selected to play, play with pride and passion for the shirt they have on their back if they do that then we will have a chance. Come on you boys in green.
P.S. RTE aerial took a bashing with the weekend winds have to pay around £50 minimum to get it sorted and i only really need it for this one game as i have sky and setanta. So all i ask from the team is effort to be 100%. If the performance lacks effort and passion then i will be fuming!!!
woke up this morning with a feeling we could do them tonight... i am kind of shocked at myself.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Are you sure you're awake ?
Here's hoping.
[quote=Stuttgart88;1134491]On the plus side, we have a great keeper, a good central defence and two Champions League quality forwards. If the others play to their best then who knows?

HAHAHAHA!! YOU GOT US!!!!! APRIL FOOLS!!!
fcuk off you miserable prat.
Do you not think that Keane & Doyle are CL standard. Tell me why they're not.
I'm not saying they'd win the fcuking thing but you obviously feel they'd look out of place at that level. Tell me why.
put doyle in that italian team and he'd be awesome.
Because one is a perennial nearly man who has found his level and comfort zone at Spurs and the other is playing in the Championship and has had no solid bids for him from a Premiership club, let alone a Champions League club since he was relegated.
Do you think that either player couldn't impress at CL group level or further if given the opportunity?

Honestly weldoninhio you are not an Irish fan so why are you on this forum spouting your bull****e. Comfort zone at spurs did you see him play along side Berbatov last season you *****, Robbie Keane is excellent and time and time again he rescues us, so **** off.
Why bother replying to him?!
Of course Robbie Keane is CL standard! I do think weldoninhio is talking horse ***** although I'm not 100% sure about Doyle being CL standard, he could easily play for a mid-table premier league club - maybe on a squad some day for a top club - especially after his promising first PL season. But if he was playing in the knockout stages of the CL I feel he would be ever so slightly out of his depth IMO.
"Do you know what the plural for Pussy is? ... it's Pussai! ... Jimmy tought me that"
Yeah, they finished 11th, 10 points from relegation. And just because he rescues us time and time again does not prove he is Champions League quality.
What do you class as a player with 'Champions League quality'?
Perhaps you define it as a player who has played in the Champions League. Therefore is Colin Kazim-Richards a player with Champions League quality?
Or maybe it's a player who has won the Champions League. If this is the case then David May is a player who had the requisite 'Champions League quality' to fulfil your requirements.
Or maybe it is a player who has constantly shone and looked a class above others on the pitch time and time again in Champions League games. These players may be counted on the fingers of one hand. As such it would be ridiculous to label these as the only player's with 'Champions League quality', as they are clearly far better than their fellow footballers and may be tagged as anomolies to the general rule that a player with 'Champions League quality' is one who has the ability to perform at the highest level on a reasonably consistant basis. An ability that Robbie Keane certainly has.
What were Robbie's CL stats this year?
I know he scored at least once (Atletico) and put in one MOTM performance against PSV. Didn't watch many other Liverpool games though.
He scored his first Liverpool goal against PSV in October and as you said, also scored against Athletico.
Coleman for Ireland
So, 2 goals and a MOTM performance. Doesn't sound like he's up to playing in the CL to me.
