Huge game tonight!

Cant be any worse than the match against Georgia

chopperbyrne · 15-10-2019 04:38PM

3-0 Switzerland, and that's being optimistic.

KungPao · 15-10-2019 04:43PM

Can’t see any other result than a comfortable enough win for the Swiss.

Would love to see Aaron Connolly start, may as well give it a lash. But I imagine it’ll be a lot of backs to the wall stuff. They’ll be all over us like a cheap suit. Mid field being cut through at will almost.

Hope I’m talking ****e though and we scrape a win.

0gac3yjefb5sv7 · 15-10-2019 04:46PM

Think we will do it. 1.0.

Shanotheslayer · 15-10-2019 04:46PM

1-1

Duane Dibbley · 15-10-2019 04:48PM

2-0 Switzerland

Kingp35 · 15-10-2019 04:52PM

I think it will be real backs to wall stuff with very little possession that ultimately ends in a 1-0 loss. I just can't see us getting a goal. We'll defend very well but it's asking a huge amount to keep the Swiss out for 90 minutes.

tayto lover · 15-10-2019 04:55PM

Hope I’m wrong but I cannot see anything except a Swiss victory.

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-10-2019 04:56PM

I've noticed a lack of anticipation and buzz about potentially reaching a major tournament this evening. I mentioned it to someone earlier that we could qualify and they got confused and thought I was referring to the rugby.

It would be great if we could do it but you'd have to say it's a tall order. Bookies have a Swiss win at 1/2, draw at 11/4 and an Irish win at 13/2.

My heart says we can do it with Duffy channeling the likes of McGrath and Dunne's epic performances of years gone by, but the head says the Swiss are beating us by two goals.

Tchaikovsky · 15-10-2019 04:56PM

Hakan Yakin to get a barely believable late call-up and bang 2 goals in against us.

Idbatterim · 15-10-2019 05:02PM

I dont see there much more than a goal in it score wise. We have not been beaten this campaign and conceded what? 2 goals! They defence is very mean! A defeat will leave the Swiss out if I am correct?

It's very low key alright, you'd miss the days back in the 90s when the country would come to a standstill, pubs packed and TVs brought into classrooms. Have got the all clear for the pub but it won't be "get there at 6 to get good seats near the telly" anyway.

Apparently it’s bucketing down there at the moment with a danger of the pitch being a bit waterlogged. Hopefully the lads don’t lunge in if it goes ahead!

A three nil hammering would suggest otherwise

Pitch inspection at 6pm

2-0 Switzerland, they’re many miles ahead of Georgia.

This is a game for the neutrals.

Pitch inspection at 6.00pm now due to the rain. If cancelled it would go ahead tomorrow.

You can hope we’ll do it but what would make you think we’ll do it?

Sawduck · 15-10-2019 05:35PM

I fear tonight is the beginning of the end for our euro 2020 hopes

I was at Ireland vs Slovakia 0-0.

Gave up going after that.

Gave up buying a season ticket for various reasons, found it hard to get to the aviva and back on public transport

rgace · 15-10-2019 05:42PM

Hoping we keep it tight and maybe Connolly off the bench to win it.

At least we will have another chance against the Danes.

Idbatterim · 15-10-2019 05:48PM

I dont know what the ridiculous pessimism is about, we are ahead of the Swiss in this group! Yeah I witnessed the Georgia shambles, but I wouldnt be giving the swiss too much credit, will they have more possession and chances, probably. Will they actually win, possibly...

Dr. Bre · 15-10-2019 05:51PM

If it’s off do both teams get the point and not bother playing it like in rugby lol

thelad95 · 15-10-2019 05:51PM

Game could well be postponed.

If that was the case I think Ireland would happily take it, but if it is called off tonight then it will be played tomorrow weather permitting.

One More Toy · 15-10-2019 05:58PM

Pitch inspection coming up in the next few minutes. Wonder what outlet will have the news first
