does anyone think the bulgar coach looks a bit like putin.

Doesn't surprise me eastern Europeans still wearing flares.

Defending by oth teams is shocking but it's making for an entertaining game. Bul should have been 2 u0p by half time but Cyp have come in to it a lot and should have drawn level. How the Bul defender stayed on when he pulled down the Cyp centre forward is beyond me ! home town decision if i ever saw one...

Bulgaria all over them, can't believe they haven't scored again yet

Bulgarians look like they got a big boost from getting a point from us. Look a different team today. Bit wobbly at the back but they are pouring forward in numbers.

Last ditch defending from the Cypriots prevents another goal.

The heat is always a problem for Irish players. Against Albania in 2003, they struggled to cope at home!!!

It will be very hostile out there no matter when it's played.

Best to play at night, when it's a bit more bearable.

Cyprus should have scored there...clear in!@

**paul_oshea** · 01/04/2009, 4:37 PM

should have been another cyprus goal. bulgaria are terrible at the back. We should definitely score 1 or 2 over there. Montenegrin was right.

Another great chance missed by Cyprus - Konstantinou kinda one-on-one but slipped so didn't get much power on the shot. Easy save for keeper. Still a hope though, 11 minutes left, 1-0 Bulgars.

exactly those who are looking at the match should see that cyrpus have had the more clear cut chances. However i can see bulgaria getting lucky as cyprus press hard for an equaliser...

this is a balls, the bulgarias jumping around the place like salmon in summer season on the corrib.

Didn't see the first half but the Bulgarians have been comfortably the better team in the second. Cyprus have had a couple of chances but the Bulgarians have had a few as well.
