Ireland - Cyprus (1 Viewer)

[binky]

It's important for the footballers to shoot the goals.

 

[Cormcolash]

I think the better team on the night will have more chance of winning.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Cyprus really brings out all the funny fellas.

 

[Cormcolash]

That goal could change the whole complexion of this match.

 

[ratmonkey]

You can only play what's in front of you.

 

[maims bond]

it was important to get a result tonight.

....

thanks for that contribution Kenny.

 

[the strange guy]

We need radically new tactics.
Like knives or guns.

 

[Richie]

So anyway.. the team:

Given
O'Shea \ Dunne \ McShane \ Kilbane
McGeady \ Gibson \ Whelan \ Duff
Keane \ Doyle

Will Darron Gibson be ready for it? He looked decent in that friendly against Denmark last year but
I can't say I've seen much of him playing beyond that.. Happier seeing him get a shot there than Miller, anyway..

 

[Jerry Twig]

Gibson is a very interesting selection indeed. I've seen fuck all of him as well and I was surprised by his selection - in a good way I suppose cod I'd hate to see Miller start.
Anyone?

 

[the strange guy]

If Gibson is an excellent footballer and scores goals then yeh, it should be grand and I wouldn't be surprised if they picked him again.

 

[Janer]

50 fuckin quid a ticket. and that's for the hill. fuck that. vantage club cock. However, everytime I go to see Ireland play we lose, so it's probably a good thing I can't afford it. but still

Football is simply overpriced, I've started going to other sports that are value for money and also to get Photography practice in too.
I think we'll win this as someone else said Cyprus are a confidence team.
2-0 for us.
I'll throw a few bob on a home win, winning at HT and FT maybe a tenner and a score on a normal win....I don't do exact score betting.

 

[Janer]

Gonna be a tough one this.
This has gotta be the best Cyprus team of all time here, you just need to look at the Champions League to see how strong Cypriot football is at the moment.

When I was younger Cyprus were the equivalent of San Marino, now they're up to the standard of we say Wales....seems so odd.

 

[Hector Grey]

forget it lads, mcshame is in. cue mayhem and own goals.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Yeah, a little worried by McShame too.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Ireland will be tempted to go out there and lash the bollocks off them, and I hope they do....in some sort of organised manner.

 

[Richie]

McShane's been solid enough since going to Hull, the O.G. against Arsenal wasn't really his fault. Will probably be the cause of some nail-biting during the match though, yeah..

 

[evil bandit]

I can't see Duff or McGeady tracking back so McShane (if he is played at left back) will be really exposed at times.

I've got the fear that we'll go one up then sit back on it and they'll equalise as a result of them over powering our midfeild and/or a McShane error.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Duff has always tracked back.
McShane less so, but Trapp wants them defending as a unit, so they'll do their bit if they want to stay in the team.
