My bets for Ireland to win 2-1 or 3-1 are lookin good.....

Yes he drove low and into the corner to make it hard for Given. We were a bit slow in clearing our lines though.

Chardee MacDennis · 05-09-2009 07:02PM

Dunne is playing very poorly

Picture quality is dire, cameraman needs to be shot.

We're still just lumping the ball.

Chardee MacDennis · 05-09-2009 07:04PM

Spiritoftheseventies · 05-09-2009 07:04PM

MagicMarker · 05-09-2009 07:10PM

Duff the cheating diving bastard:p

Mossy Monk · 05-09-2009 07:11PM

When will UEFA and FIFA bring bannings into all competitions for diving.

Chardee MacDennis · 05-09-2009 07:11PM

our game plan at the moment should be pass to Duff...

mewso · 05-09-2009 07:11PM

Has Trap lost all faith in the Irish players? They're playing a long ball game and as a result the cypriots have most of the possession. Terrible stuff.

I have very little faith in the central midfield to be creative/get the ball down. Need someone in there to dictate the game and theres just no-one to do that. The plan should be to give the ball to the wingers imo

population · 05-09-2009 07:14PM

We have better footballers. We should be trying to play them in a football match, not this half arsed containey longy ball mess

McGeady has to come on

whatawaster · 05-09-2009 07:15PM

nothing short of appalling.

Unearthly · 05-09-2009 07:16PM

Good old hoofball :rolleyes:

Is the Irish team sponsored by Jamie Carragher tonight or something??

I have little faith in them either but would expect them to be able to pass the ball about against Cyprus. Cyprus are putting excellent pressure on our wingers and our supposedly superior players are punting it forward aimlessly. I have got to believe that if they passed it around a bit they would create chances and actually have the ball for more than 5 second spurts. We scored a goal and did the usual "here have the ball opposition and lets see what you can do with it" crap.

Super-Rush · 05-09-2009 07:18PM

We need someone in the middle of the pitch to take the ball and slow things down. We wont be able to keep up with the pace much longer.

Headshot · 05-09-2009 07:20PM

whose on the bench for Ireland ?

is McGeady there? If so he's the only one i'd have faith in to do something.

ctrl-alt-delete · 05-09-2009 07:23PM

Hoping we can do something in the 2nd half, i can't see the game, but from what i can hear its the same old system.

It's basic football at it's worse, and too easy to play against.

Pity Trap will be happy with a draw and won't change anything.

In other news

Bulgaria 4-1 Montenegro

mink_man · 05-09-2009 07:24PM

Would be nice to have a cameraman behind goal. Would have liked to look at cyprus goal from another angle.
