sounds like Ireland are playing very well, organised and should be ahead at HT.

definitely agree with ya there duff seems like he doesnt know where to play or what to do. McShane has been solid as a rock hopefully he keeps it going

Agree on all this. do we have a 2nd CB now??

Duff at great risk when McGeady is back. To be fair dont knwo why we dont stick KK on right if he has to play?

Only contender for McShane is Carsley, dont laugh but is he a captain????

**ilovejam** · 11/10/2006, 7:20 PM

any chance the ref will let the game flow for the second half. its not a bitch sport

**onceahoop** · 11/10/2006, 7:23 PM

Shows how bad Andy O'Brien was on Saturday. He was awful and it unsettled the defence

**GUISAUltra** · 11/10/2006, 7:23 PM

theres nothing to laugh about the way carsley is playing here. if he can keep this up and have a couple more games like this he'd seriously need to be considered as captain. since keano left we've not had a captain who can inspire by winning tackles and controlling the ball. sounds weird but the way he is playing he would have to be a serious contender for captain

**GUISAUltra** · 11/10/2006, 7:24 PM

ref is having a nightmare, anyone think that reid should have a penalty

Very true, hasn't been decent leadership in a long time.

Germany 3 up now.

Slovak's seem to be heading to their second defeat of the campaign. Which if the Irish continue in their present vein for the second half can only be good news for us.

**GUISAUltra** · 11/10/2006, 7:26 PM

did ya year johnny giles talking about BORAS

**cavan_fan** · 11/10/2006, 7:26 PM

what's the view from rte???

**beautifulrock** · 11/10/2006, 7:28 PM

doing well, keep it up lads, need to shut a few people in press up and here as well.

**GUISAUltra** · 11/10/2006, 7:28 PM

the big three seem to be agreed that we're the better team but the czechs look very dangerous on the break.

**onceahoop** · 11/10/2006, 7:30 PM

Commitments right denying them time and space. Could do better on the ball

**ilovejam** · 11/10/2006, 7:31 PM

yeah it seemed he gave the 'advantage' signal to play on after reid was fouled but duff shot wide. should of blown for the pen. i think.

**CollegeTillIDie** · 11/10/2006, 7:32 PM

Lee Carsley is showing up , the folly of not calling him up for the Cyprus game. Yes if he intends playing international football, beyond these few games to dig Stan out of a hole, make him captain. As has been said before he is the nearest thing to a Roy Keane-like figure available at the moment.
Robbie Keane couldn't inspire you to have a slash

**CollegeTillIDie** · 11/10/2006, 7:34 PM

In about 5 years , assuming he isn't crippled by injuries, Paul McShane will be a superb captain.

**onceahoop** · 11/10/2006, 7:35 PM

Think Keanes recognised the threat and upped his game start 2nd half

**Fergie's Son** · 11/10/2006, 7:35 PM

Very nervous that they could nick one but so far so good. Listening to it on the radio and getting emails from Lansdowne. Carlsley and McShane doing very well. Hard to believe he is only 20 playing against the man-mountain that is Koller.
