No, I actually heard it on Off the Ball on Newstalk tonight.

I'd say Ireland will win 2 or 3-0

**tricky_colour** · 08/06/2005, 12:19 AM

They are a bit erratic:-

Iceland (ISL) 9:0 (0:0) Faroe Islands (FRO) 10.07.1985
Iceland (ISL) 1:0 (0:0) Faroe Islands (FRO) 12.07.1985

Don't be too surprised if they score either

Prediction 2-0. (to Ireland

)

Does the Faroe Islands 1-0 Austria mean anything to you?

**Hibs4Ever** · 08/06/2005, 6:53 AM

2-0 Harte (5euro on him at 10/1) and Morrison

means something but not a lot, that was their first competitive game, back in '92 (??) haven't done much since, i'm still on for three nothing

**Littlest Hobo** · 08/06/2005, 8:52 AM

some rumours about that morrison is injured and is doubtful

Fooking great news

If thats the case I'll be happy with 1-0.

barglee · 08/06/2005, 9:26 AM

4-0 Ireland
Keane-Roy
Morrison 2
Doherty

Think there will be an element of a backlash from Ireland.
Hope Elliot starts as strainght swap with Keane.

Given
Carr OSheas Cunningham Harte
Reid Keane Kilbane Duff
Elliot Morrison

That team should wallpo the faroes!
p.s. isnt it strange how Harte is almost automatic choice now at left back?

**tetsujin1979** · 08/06/2005, 9:27 AM

I'm going with 2-0. Solid game, think Andorra away in the last world cup qualifiers.

**Munsterchick** · 08/06/2005, 9:33 AM

0-2 Can't see where anymore would come from.

[Remembers Lichetenstein.

Any news on his condition.

Just readin from the BBC site and they say Kerr is not concerned about Clints, sayin he should be fine.

I wasn't under the impression it was anything serious, more of a niggling concern. I reckon he'll play.

**stojkovic** · 08/06/2005, 9:57 AM

Lads a report on the Swiss game (6-0) said the Swiss had only six chances and they all went in. How many did we miss on Saturday.

Hope its 3 or 4-0 but I'd just be happy with the three points.

Without Robbie I cant see who will score. Clint will get one and maybe a Harte free kick. Keano wont be getting forward and we dont see too many from Reid, Duff, Holland, Kilbane, Kavanagh etc. Maybe its time for them.

**Dun Laoire** · 08/06/2005, 12:05 PM

Faroe Islands 1-1 Ireland. I kind of predicted this would be a banana skin match well before Isreal, even after the dissapointment of the draw last saturday i still think we will drop points here! I pray that i'm wrong.

Remember this is just my opinion.

**carnstien** · 08/06/2005, 1:06 PM

If the team was picked appropriately we would score 5 easily, but when you consider that the midfield will contain wasters like Holland and Kilbane (probably on the left) and our 2 best attacking player, Duff and Reid will both be out of position, which is especially detrimental to Duff, I think we will be doing well to get one.

Switzerland, France, Germany and Poland couldn't do it. In fact, I'm not going looking but I doubt the Faroes have conceded 5 goals at home in a long, long time. We are not renowned for scoring much, especially under Kerr. BTW, how do you play both Duff and Reid in position?

That team would indeed have little trouble, but I reckon what Kerr will do is play Duff up front, so he might as well not be on the pitch. Play Kilbane on the left, where he will create nothing. Play Reid out of position on the right and play Matt "Mr. Invisible" Holland in the middle.

Thats what I think he will do, I hope I'm wrong, but if thats the team he selects I find it hard to believe we will score more than one, but I suppose with Roy back there is at least hope that Holland and Kilbane will up their games.
