2-0 Cyprus.

when is the last time anybody beat us by that much at home in a compeditive game... even when we were at our lowest with Staunton as manager it didnt happen.If you really believe that will be the score get yourself into Paddy Power and make yourself a fortune because Im sure the odds will be huge

Hard-fought 2-0 win.

We owe this holiday resort a 5 or 6-0 walloping, but chances are, it will be a cagey approach, and a low scoring win.

If we can't beat the holiday resort at home now, with a mega winner in charge, when will we?

i have feeling that cyprus will score but i think Ireland should and will win this one.

Half the battle in international football is organisation and this Irish side is nearly complete too being organised they way they should.

I have much more confidence in Trap then under Stan (surprise surprise i suppose)

Ireland 3-1

Did not realise we were playing Kilkee.

Any win will do for me. Cyprus are the kind of side will get a point if we are not on the top of our game. Going on recent performances from our players in the league, i'd say that a 2-0 win shouldn't be too difficult.

Hopefully with Keano getting on the score sheet

**Noelys Guitar** · 12/10/2008, 10:22 PM

Play to our best and I see a 2-0 win.

**Straightstory** · 12/10/2008, 10:32 PM

1-1 seems popular. I'd agree with that.

Popular!! Dont think it would be too popular as you put if it was the actually result.

**tommy_c12000** · 12/10/2008, 11:35 PM

2-0 Ireland with Doyle and Duff on the scoresheet

**beepbeep** · 13/10/2008, 12:23 AM

4-1 to Ireland

If we draw or lose to these then forget it.

**Littlest Hobo** · 13/10/2008, 2:26 AM

good news in that one of their best players; charalampidis picked up his second yellow on saturday and misses the game.
I'm going to be nervous about our central midfield pairing, who ever trap goes with. He is trying to instill a strict work ethic and structure into this...lets face it, limited side. Based on this and them losing c'idis, I'm confident we'll be disciplined enough to hold out for a 1-0 win.

We're not. That's a seaside town.

**Dun Laoire** · 13/10/2008, 8:07 AM

A win by the odd goal would do but wouldnt it be nice to come out comfortable for once. Anyway I'll say 2-1

C'mon Ireland!!!!

**Hibs4Ever** · 13/10/2008, 8:18 AM

3-0 Ireland

**Carrigaline** · 13/10/2008, 8:36 AM

I'm going to go with 2-0 with Dunne and Keane chipping in with goals.

I actually think this is going to be an easier game than we expect. I don't think the Cypriots will be too strong away from home.

**Stuttgart88** · 13/10/2008, 9:11 AM

I'd worry if Miller starts. He's going to have to put in a really solid performance, showing a willingness to get on the ball and use it well throughout the game.

Still, I think there's more purpose & shape to this Irish team since we last played them and I think we'll probably have enough to win it. Expect the customary 20 minutes or more of loss of composure though.
