Squirtel's been booked already for a completely unnecessary Richard Dunne circa 2006-style challenge. That'll put a strain on their already under-pressure defence.

29' Armenia [1 - 0] Slovakia
23' [1 - 0] Y. Movsisyan
So can we put to bed this idea that Armenia are awful and we were lucky to beat them? They've destroyed Slovakia so far playing exactly the same game they did against us.
edit: and as I say that they equalise against the run of play
Says it's 1:1 at half time.
Would love see Armenia win as that would pull Slovakia back.
Can't seee us wiining today. Would take a draw right now.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
2-1 Armenia
Here on a technicality.
Anyone got a stream for this, i have a radio stream in a foreign language - lol not much good.
It's OK I have found one, (im in the UK).

3:1?!!
Well quite a result, that puts Armenia ahead of Russia!! (for the moment anyway).
Anyhow, Slovakia have beaten Russia, Armenia have beaten Slovakia and we have beaten Armenia.
It follows that Ireland should easily beat Russia.
If only it were that simple!!
An easy win for us is the last thing I am expecting however, I think they beat us last time they were here?
Was it 4:2 or was that the away leg?
4-2 in moscow.
1 each at landsdowne
JERRY: But are you still master of your domain?
GEORGE: I am king of the county. You?
JERRY: Lord of the manor.
Russia's last result was a 0-1 home defeat to Slovakia, I fear we will
be getting the backlash for that, the Russian team will be out to redress that result
so it is not going to be an easy game for us.
The bookies are going typically 6-4 Ireland 7-4 Russia 2-1 the draw.
This type of Landsdowne of old result today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw9fWfZj8Ac

I'd take a bit of this too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePNST9aczFI
Great line from George Hamilton in the middle: "Roy Keane... we can always depend on him." Oh George.
I don't think they have that mentality in them, their players are not happy with their square headed boss which was certainly the russian media's belief for their crap showing against the slovaks. A positive start and McGeady to threaten right from the off and it could be a very good night for the Irish.
No surprises on the bench: Westwood, McShane, Long, Cunningham, Gibson, Fahey, Keogh.
