It's like smoking. You know it does more harm than good but no matter how rationally you try to think about it it just keeps its hold of you. Damn football.

Well best i can do right now is rte radio and they say the cyprus fans could not care less and are more curious about how Greece does so the atmosphere shouldnt be a problem....

Poor, poor first half. Long ball and their keeper has not had to make one save other than a flap. Other than Doyle, Whelan, Given and Andrews who are doing their jobs the others look out of sorts. Too much long ball stuff. We nned to create a few chances and hopefully put them away. They look as likely to score as us. And the other results are all going against us.

**SkStu** · 05/09/2009, 7:27 PM

we are a shockingly average team. Our midfield is non-existent.

I honestly believe Trapatoni doesnt rate our players (playing and absent for whatever reason) at all. I cant believe we are playing such tripe.

**Tipp Townie** · 05/09/2009, 7:28 PM

I've just joined the action on Boo Boys link. Was going to ask how the 1st half went but Noely has just about summed it there. Don't think i'll ask for any more info!...

**SkStu** · 05/09/2009, 7:30 PM

listening to Giles, Souness and Dunphy and i have to say i agree with everything they are saying based on the rubbish ive been watching.

I still think we can win this game Tipp. A few adjustments might do it. What is worrying me are the performances from Dunne, O'Shea, Kilbane, Keane, Duff, Keane and Hunt. Poor so far.
