if bulgaria win tonight and we lose or even draw then are 7 with a game in hand. If they win the game in hand then they are 1 or 2 points behind us, then we have to go there and get a draw. As i predicted before that ppl got carried away to early with us beating below average teams 1 - 0. By the end of tonight we could be in a seriously bad way.

Thanks guys. Would be great to see Cyprus nick a point. Our hopes really rest of Bulgaria dropping points. I hope I am wrong on that one.

Red card!

**rocketballs7** · 01/04/2009, 3:45 PM

ah FFS that should have been red

**crc** · 01/04/2009, 3:45 PM

ref has given BG a yellow when it should have been red

**ParkLife** · 01/04/2009, 3:45 PM

what happened???

**Colbert Report** · 01/04/2009, 3:45 PM

Only a yellow for the Bulgarian defender, the Cypriot forward was clear through, the guy who took him down was definitely the last man. Terrible decision. Outside the box.

**paul_oshea** · 01/04/2009, 3:45 PM

**** thats twice now from the bulgars.

**strangeirish** · 01/04/2009, 3:45 PM

This ref is a ....!

**crc** · 01/04/2009, 3:47 PM

Bulgarian was the last man and cynically took out the Cypriot - dreadful decision.
Cyrprus hit a hard free-kick which just whistles past the right post.

HT now

**Colbert Report** · 01/04/2009, 3:47 PM

Things not going our way. I have a feeling this is just not going to be our night. Bulgaria will win this one easily and we'll get hammered by the Italians. The ref is running off to the dressing room now at half time....

**paul_oshea** · 01/04/2009, 3:47 PM

who was the fool that said bulgaria look good in defence? and who was the other one that said we def played the right game plan. Bulgaria are terrible in defence. How did we not score more?! simple cos we sat back and tactics were all wrong. the game on saturday should have been well and truly over by the time kilbane decided to open his foot and place the ball into the far left corner instead of hoofing it out.

**irishultra** · 01/04/2009, 3:47 PM

bulgaria is ****...what a waste of time saturday was

**Razors left peg** · 01/04/2009, 3:48 PM

ref is worst Ive seen for ages, some unbelieveable decisions

**eaststand85** · 01/04/2009, 3:50 PM

Terrible decision. That's two now combined with Cannavaros yellow against Montenegro on Saturday!

**Brendan 82** · 01/04/2009, 3:50 PM

Bulgaria looked very good in that half but there are still some cracks in their armor. Technically excellent, our draw looks a decent result now. Cyprus are still in it though and if they get a goal and draw the game Bulgaria could be up the creek. C'mon Cyprus

**zenokelly** · 01/04/2009, 3:53 PM

I can see a goal in that Cyprus team. Bulgaria look quite poor at the back.

The only certainty is that the cameraman and ref were in the same watering hole before the match. Shocking camera work and refereeing.

Ah, so you wouldn't have minded Kilbane and McShane being faced with level of tempo and with that sort of quick balls being played in and around their box?

**Maroon 7** · 01/04/2009, 3:55 PM

We may really regret not knocking Bulgaria out for good last Saturday. They win this and they get Berbatov, Bojinov and Martin Petrov back for the end of the campaign and it will be looking much better for them.
