Cyprus

[citizenerased]

I know I'll be there, supporting the team, as I was after we drew at home to Norway and got hammered by Denmark at home in 84/85, as I was after every other debacle since, as I was when we beat Brasil in 87 when only 17000 of the Greatest Fans in the World turned up !

And I seriously doubt that EVERY player gave 100% in Bratislava & Prague - Keane ? McGeady ? O'Shea ?

Yeah fair enough im not questioning your credentials, but it disappoints me with other fans...Keane did his usal headless chicken routine that he has been practicing for the last 5 years, McGeady tried, but was just very frustratinig, O'Shea always looks like he doesnt give a foock i think its just his general demeanor!!

****kin disgrace how ficol irish people are, pure bandwagoners!! The true irish fans will turn up, for all the bulshiit being spouted about best fans in the world it will be interesting to see how few real fans we have!!

If you didn't give a 4x about football, and many who will go tonight don't, would you pay €70 to watch Cyprus?? That game is for the hard-core only.

what are you talking about...have you not been reading, people have already paid for the tickets..i take it ur not goin

Cyprus are 3-1 up now at home to Wales, its live on SC4 (the Welsh channel) for those with Sky... the Cypriots have had a very strong 2nd half hitting well on the break with a lot of pace.

In fairness there could be a crowd of 40 or 50 thousand there which would be huge by any standard but it would still leave lots of empty spaces in a stadium that big.

I'm supporting Cyprus now (until the end of qualification), believe it or not they have a better chance of qualifying than us (3 victories for them sees them qualify even if the Czechs draw their other two matches). We're a lost cause at this point, they have scored more goals than us in qualifying. If they beat us and Germany does them a favor and then they beat the Czechs it will come down to the last day...who knows

Would be funny if the Czechs had to go to Cyrus needing to avoid a defeat to qualify, football as they say is a funny old game.
I can see it happeninig with Slovakia, who seem to get better results when they are away from home. Cyprus's home form is as good as ours.

Pointless, tbh. Hopefully we thrash Cyprus.
Our group is over. Even if Germany beat the Czechs - which is pretty much a certainty. Do you honestly think Cyprus have even the remotest chance of picking up maximum points away to us, away to Germany and home to the Czechs?

Also, I'm sick of all this ****e talk in various threads from various posters about how they hope Ireland lose because they want x, y and z to happen. It's ****in pathetic

Have to agree with this. It's sickening to hear people wanting Ireland to lose. If you're a real fan you'll stick with your team through thick and thin. It's times like these that make the good times all the better!

[greendeiseboy]

the players have given everything throughout this campaign........... it's the clueless management team and the captain that have cost us...... i used to to be a huge fan of keane when he was younger and played in his proper position but he's now like a headless chicken...... richard dunne should be made captain

we should have qualified and thats the bottom line and unless things change we will be posting the same comments in two years time

we have players in every position that are capable of getting us to the world cup and some excellent players coming through that will enforce this
