‘Big Game Part 1′ today, a must win for Ireland. I’m not confident at all but fingers, toes and other bits crossed. (listening to it on RTÉ)
So far:
5min – GOAL by Stephen Elliot Cyprus 0 – 1 Ireland
13mins – Penalty save by Given, holy fuck!
20+ mins – sounds like a shite game, Ireland are a mess, giving Cyprus too much of the ball
Half Time and it really sounda like an awful performance by Ireland.
Second half on, slight improvement by Ireland, Matt Holland is on
59mins – blow for Ireland as Duff is off injured (Reid comes on)
75+ mins – signs of life in the Irish team, from Stephen Elliot at least who is playing well
88mins – David Connolly comes on for Robbie Keane, it’s David’s first game in about 2 years
Full time – 3 points for Ireland. Christ, they didn’t make it easy on themselves
Roll on Switzerland next wednesday in Lansdowne Rd.
