Ideal result as a win on Wednesday will put us top.

With a game in hand :pac: Excirah and delirah.

Only dipped in and out of the match. Are Italy still on the same sh1t level as Euro 08?

You'd wish, wouldn't you, but no, new faces...

Italy: Amelia; Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Chiellini, Dossena; Gattuso, De Rossi, Montolivo, Pepe, Gilardino , Di Natale

yeah, they are a tough team to judge because this is the 'italian way'....i was more optimistic though seeing how bad Bulgaria were..they play georgia away during the week so that game will be massive...HERES HOPING FOR A DRAW OR BETTER A GEORGIAN WIN.

Yeah I don't know what their problem is. I've heard them use the 'beggars' term for us a lot. Maybe it's a political thing.

They won't be making the 2010 World Cup anyway barring a miracle. One point from 3 games isn't good enough.

MESSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

I think Argentina are playing with Tevez, Aguero and Messi. Shoulda started without Tevez and put on Milito...

delija_sever029 · 11-10-2008 10:18pm

Good results tonight,for ireland and for Serbia,both games in both groups were draw,thats the best possible for Ireland and Serbia

We blasted Lithuania 3-0 tonight and it could be even worse for them,esteban,good job,you almost guessed correct result,you were more optimistic than i did,we really started showing some good football there,i am becoming more happy with our team.

Now we need to win in Vienna no matter what but this is gonna be very tough game and i am still predicting its gonna be a draw:D

It's the reason England are the most popular national team in this country.

There was a time when I used to wish the team well but I can't abide the hostility many of them show towards our side.

Have a read of this article on our 2002 World Cup campaign and notice the vitriol they come out with.

Why this is featured on a NI fan website I do not know. I guess they are pretty bitter.

F***in hell. He obviously doesn't know the word Irony considering how he refers to the Nationalists as bigots and yet calls the Irish team tinkers and beggars. :rolleyes:

Just watching the Scotland highlights now and what the fuck was Burley doing takin off McFadden? He was the one player wanting to take on a beat defenders.

Burley's stupidiy was rewarded with Iwelumo's miss.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 12-10-2008 9:42am

And what a truly awful miss that was. The guy should be shot. I would have to drink a pint of guinness with a bag of peanuts in it if I missed that in a league game.

Xavi6 · 12-10-2008 9:50am

Ball whipped across the 6 yard box in the last minute just evades S. Fletcher and Iwelumo.

Commentator - "If only Iwelumo had gotten a foot on that Scotland would be leaving with three points."

Not necessarily.....

I'm pretty sure he meant that the Nationalists viewed them as bigots.... a term he is obviously proud of.

The guy is no doubt a bigot, narrow minded people are just interested in seeing events and data in ways that 'confirm' their own prejudices and are not interested in hearing anything that might dissaude them. Hence they are bigots.

Anyway... enough of wasting time on a waste of time.

Personally I only really care about Ireland's result also and a little bit about Portugal where i live. I can't say I'm particularly endeared to Norn Iron team basically coz of guys like the aforementioned but other than that I'm not bothered how they do one way or another.

Interesting results from Africa, Senegal are out (didn't even make the last 20) and if the WC is moved from South Africa they won't be in it.

Groin strain apparently.

Guy:Incognito · 12-10-2008 9:33pm

Dont know why people are looking for Italy to draw games. Ireland will not be looking at Italy as being a team to finish above (obviously if they have a horrendous run and we finish top it would be a gift) so the best scenario is for Italy to hammer the other teams in the group, then if we get anything we are in with a great shot at 2nd (and a good 2nd at that if we preform against the rest).

estebancambias · 12-10-2008 9:42pm

we will have to beat bulgaria anyway. we should be aiming for top spot and anything other than that is a dissapointment. now i will be hoping georgia beat bulgaria during the week.
