Macedonia V Republic of Ireland - Saturday, 4th June 2011 - Euro 2012 Qualifier

[Bottle of Tonic]

If you took the time to properly read my opinion on the team selection, I stated that I was relatively happy with the team selection. I merely was stating that if I was in Trap's position I would have selected a slightly different team justifying it with very simple and sound reasons. I would have Foley in for Kelly (Foley yet to play a game in 2011), St Ledger in for O'Dea (less of a risk than O'Dea all things considered), and Long in for Cox (23 versus 1 goal).

Whereupon I was attacked from all angles, I felt like I was Ratko Mladic facing the mob in the Hague. Apologies for having and expressing an opinion that did not concur with the masses.

Also, if you think that "negativity" is predicting a 1-0 win to Ireland and wishing the boy's all the very best of luck then that's your own perogative

The negativity is a general thing-an all-pervading whinge about Trappers/Ireland, not this particular match. Of course you hope we win, you are an Ireland fan after all.

Damn this late kick off, been struggling to kill time all day

Is the RTÉ online stream "ROI only"? I wasn't expecting it to be available worldwide or anything, but don't they show some events on an island-wide basis?

Edit: Actually, something to do with Sky possessing rights for the UK, I assume?

They have certain events that are ROI only, some that are Ireland only (like the GAA match on right now), and some that are Worldwide...the match is ROI only.

I thought the whole island was our "territory". I'm confused Ted. Let me read the CAS judgment again...

Spent all yesterday fretting over the game. Went out. Got messed up. And yet all I can do is think of the game. Now as it approaches kick off... my nerves are shot and I can't take it any more. Hurry up half 8!

Come ON IRELAND! Slovaks still 0-0. I don't care how we get the three points. Get the job done lads.

If there's ever anything to send a pack of grown man into quivering wrecks its the build up to an Ireland game. Come ooooooooooooooooon!

Great stream there if anybody needs it.

Panel is remarkably downbeat. I think we'll score twice - not sure how many Macedonia will get.
