Hatrick layers - squeaky bum time

20 mins is a long time!

To think that rubbish qualified above Scotland.

what a second half! poor ROI being totally outclassed.
another goal coming too imo.

You're only as good as your worst player, step forward Ciaran Clark.

Bout time we got a hiding. Needed a reality check. Poor team. Poor tactics. Well deserved

the commentator just come up with the all time classic

Ireland backers seething here I see.

How will Sweden do against Belgium?

I freely admit to being a mug, but I'm not completely stupid. Surely no one backed Ireland.

To think that "rubbish" beat Germany.

to  be fair we deserve this as we are just a hoof it anywhere and hope team no one bar brady looking for the ball

I remember that Ire/Ger game. Germany never gave a toss about that game.

our best player Long going on and our worst coming on says it all

seppi writing a cheque out from his own account to compensate Ire for the humiliation

FA ,trying to get the game stopped

SFA ,giving wgs a lifetime contract

Anyone remember when Moyes took off Rooney for Rio when 3-0 d9wn at home t9 Liverpool? Nowt wrong with consolidating!

Keane is still more likely to score than Long.  Long tries hard but is not a striker.

anyone?

You've been paid out on over 2.5 goals because there has been over 2.5 goals imo

Thanks marychain but I backed Belgium & o2.5 at 5.1, the game aint over

I think marychain has cracked it.

Silly question really It's 3-0.  Or are you just looking for a clap on the back.

Both.

I didnt realise you were backing the team and the team on overs

Well I wouldn't bother with going to the trouble of protecting your win by withdrawing, shutting your account and moving to a non-extradition country. Reckon it's probably a winner anyway.

Belgium taking the p1ss now

looks like a mistake on BFs side kellydamo, not a mbig one the way its panned out

would have been interesting had the score been 2-1 Belgium and they settled

Ah Ok, I thought it was you just backed over in play or something.  Not sure why it's paid out already. Strange.

that said i cant imagein the layers are happy about it

They can always resettle markets if need be

please take whelan off it is embarrasing to think long is off and whelan who falls all over the place is on

Long is woeful.   Runs around a lot with no end product.

Ireland have one decent player - Coleman.

Andy Townshend 'to beat Italy they will need to play better'

Can't remember Courtois being forced to make a (decent) save.

Do the Irish really think they stand a chance against Italy, even if they play their B team?

Just had a flutter on Italy last game 6/4, Sweden and Belgium won't be allowing Italy just to roll over in this match.

One more for the "jackpot," please.

Belgium could still go out

Might take some of that Italy 2.46 too.

Italy can lose and still top the group. Ireland may be sh1te but I still d9nt think 6/4 would tempt me.

Hate that the commentators keep mentioning "if" Ireland had been given the penalty it would have been a different game,

Well of course it would have, but they've been rightly hammered, as Belgium were the only side today that have turned up to actually win the game.

Nope. He is our only dec3nt plqyer though.

So easy. Dark horses once again.

The big teams won't be too worried about Belgium.

to be fair I think I saw whelan pass the ball forward during the match not sure but think it was him so we are getting better

2.5 Italy is unbelievable

Italy top the group even if they lose to Ireland. Forgot about H2H record. 6-4 doesnt make any appeal in that context.

I know. But they need a confidence boost.

Not great, but Italy and Belgium are really the only two sides in this group who remotely play decent football. Would be a travesty if Ireland and/or Sweden to go through.

Unless you think Italy are basically going to fix it I can't see why anyone wouldn't take 6/4

Whelan still brings more to the Irish team than Long though.

England  ahead of Belgium and Italy in the odds.

anyone care to explain

yeah it's a great price. Even their second string team should easily win.

Its Italy ffs. They wont give a sh1t if they lose.

Mug fans backing them into ridiculously low prices.  Always been the same.

no think whelan and keane our 2 worst players for some time whelan dosen't want the ball if he gets it then he lumps it anywhere keane too old, taking off long our best player is a joke and we deserved to be thrashed

I will concede that if there is one team in the tourney unlikely to f1x a game, its the Italians.

Italian reserves could be champing to put on a show to get in first team, Ireland are very average. I'm on the 6/4 as I said the other two nations would kick up fcuk if Italy didn't play properly.

Shows how weak their squad is then if Long is the best player.  I don't rate him at all.

seems to be sofa lad

Italy 2ont care if tbe other two teams 'kick up a fck' either. Its Italy people!

Lay them so.

I may well. Backing sides at 6/4 who are impqcted negatively by losing doesnt sound like a long term winning strategy to me. Italy could lose 7-0 and will still win the group. Obviously theyre miles better than Ireland that doesnt matter in a completely meaningless fixture. Least not in my eyes.

Italy would have to lose to do Ireland a favour, then could be pipped by belgium, only score that suits Italy is draw or win. A win keeps the confidence going 100% record in group stage.

NOT impacted negatively!

Italy win the grouo regardless of what happens in the two games stroodle. The h2h means the win against Belgium overrides any goal difference etc.

Didn't know that thought goal difference first silly me

Can't see Italy bending over in last match, Ive took 6/4 and happy with that.

Any side other than Italy and I'd be inclined to agree. The Italians have form for this sort of thing tho.

Capt Hazard still can't get my head around it and he looked the part always prompting his team to go forward. Leading by example rather than words.

Complete gobbledegook from MON.

Misread that as gobbledigook from MDH for a second. Shouldve gone to specsavers!

We're you preparing a retort?

Lol, no mate.

well for a team that doesn't want the ball i think they did very well, saw the highlights and whelan did actually pass a ball forward which got to one of our players so that was good. Arter must be having a good laugh at home.
