Them French Comentators on Tv5 must be on the soup this evening,they are singing more than the suporters bless.

Is it possible that the commentators on TV5 have had a couple of drinks before (during) the game?
I don't know French, but their tone of voice and sporadic singing make me a bit suspicious...

That puts Ireland and France level on everything - points, goal difference and results between sides. A draw in Wednesday's game would see us both going into the final set of games (us VS Cyprus and Switzerland, them VS Switzerland and Cyprus) with identical records!!

The faroes are just catching the pace of the game now, the whistle will come too soon for them.

When first goal was scored one of the guys was telling a story and the other guy was trying to interrupt him to mention the goal.

All three have to play Cyprus, so I think at the end of the day it may come down to who ever puts the most goals past Cyprus. Don't fancy our chances in that regard as we're never good at running up cricket scores against the weaker teams.

It's the time honoured Irish tradition.

Thanks for the tip Sligoman. I watched the game a 6x normal speed at 11 last night! An unconvincing win with some injuries is what I hoped for & what we got!

Very happy with the way yesterday panned out.
