Russia v Republic of Ireland - Tuesday, 6th September 2011 - Euro 2012 Qualifier

[paul_oshea]

Good afternoon all,

Help with later coverage required if at all possible. I wont be able to see it live and been in England I'm not sure I could watch an online feed. I can get all the LoI games and highlights but not sure about an away International. Missed the Slovakia game (lucky me by all accounts) though listened online.

Any thoughts and help appreciated.

Do what i do leave work early.

Really no excuses*. I know a lot of lads who have taken half days. Heading out the door in 20 mins.

Unless of course your profession doesn't allow for your own holidays such as teacher etc.

God I love flexi time! C'mon Ireland. 1 famous away victory please.

if you must, just watch it on a stream. there won't be many others doing it so the IT crowd shouldn't notice / care.

why not flavour it up trap, go for the unpredicatble and then the russians wont be so sure about how we play. Bamboozle them

Whirlwind few days, been on the beer since Saturday eve, only got a chance to watch a replay of Friday late last night. Robbie and Richards misses looked a lot worse on second look.

Less nervous about this game as we aren't expected to win, we seem to do better when that's the case. Hopefully can sneak out of work in the next 20 minutes without anyone noticing.

I am expecting nothing, I am expecting we get beat and well beat.
Anything beyond that is a bonus.
Russia are odds on the win, you can get 11/4 on the draw and almost 5-1 on us winning.
Our only chance is parking the bus but if that goes wrong we are stuffed.
The best that could happen is we keep it level for 90 minutes and Robbie nicks a goal at the end.
Time for a pre match dump

Boys in the studio alluding to the fitness of the lads the last day. Fair comment. Getting worried about that now. Especially on the
Astro. I've always found playing on 11 a side astro, that you tend to tire fairly easily.

Our only hope is something like this:-

i find the opposite. but the lads should be ok. don't see the pitch being a huge factor unless it's slippy.
fitness and sharpness of Doyle, McGeady, O'Dea and Kelly a big concern.

McGeady looks 'at it' so far, Keane doesn't.
