Armenia

Agreed, think the prices are way off

i've backed  with pp armenia 11/4 draw no bet.

Robbie Keane out of the game now, Armenia best priced 9/2

they will score, so overs @5/4 is more interesting

armenia 4/7 with pp to score

0-0 for me

Draw @ 14/5 with betpack.
I think the draw should be no bigger than 2/1

I watched a stream of their game against slovakia while their goal lived a bit of a charmed existence particulary first half their keeper making some fine saves but they do look pretty decent going forward although the 0-4 scoreline flattered them.

All depends on traps tactics if he's a little bit ambitious without throwing caution to wind which is anathema to him anyway I can see both sides scoring, might well turn out to be a nerve wracking night for the Irish supporters, Armenia have to win so their going to have a right go which might leave a few gaps at the back for Ireland to exploit having said that with Keane out we're not exactly flushed with decent strikers, but if the game remains 0-0 going into the last 20 mins you can see trap parking the bus, so many imponderables, both teams to score at around 1/1 money doesn't exactly scream great value.

The gamble is gathering pace can see them being 7/2 or even shorter come kick off

1 1 draw for me

15/2 armenia to win to nil seems a fair price

feck off dave.  im telling ye this will go over 2.5goals

just giving my opinion new dont take a fence buddy

not a comment Irish fans want to hear.  3-2 Ireland!!![;)]

A team with Andrews,Whealan and Cox. No prizes for guessing what the game plan is going to be. Under 3 goals a certainty.

cox ahead of long = joke.

We need a draw, we will get a draw, cos that is what we are good at. Fill yer boots.

2-0 Ireland

never thought i hear myself even think this aloud , never mind put it up on a forum..but is a sad sort of way i wont be saddened if we dont make this finals ..let me rephrase that...i wont get myself in a real downer if we dont make it tonight ....trap has given us a name as a side to beat...nothing more or less....now as a football fan who over a great many years has seen our country go from mediocre to reasonable ..to what i can only discribe as dreadful...for us to grace a european finals playing the type of football rubbish we are now would in my mind set us back years...when trappatoni came along i was delighted...but over the years my enthusiasm has evaporated completely...all i see now is an attitude of stop them..full stop..that to me has been the death of soccer as i know it...i really hope we qualify tonight but if it comes down to it that we dont ..i for one wont be in mourning to long..

Anybody bsee Shay Given's interview on SSN, said they need the crowd to get behind them and make a great athmosphere, said if they need to go and get a few pints first do so so ye need to be half cut now to watch us without snoozing off.

I've backed Armenia so i won't be too disappointed either if we don't get there

any luck sat night...?

Had 3 bets in Cork, 2 of them walked from boxes but had Razldazl Rioga @ 7/1, he won handy. Backed Coolavanny Shine in Shelbourne who ran poor and Menlo Polly @ 6/1 in the last which was nice, was overpriced i thought.

good to see you getting a few euro ..popping out for a while talk to you soon ..

not sure i want to collect but armenia 15/2 to win to nil some price

Cox playing is a joke, Trap is going to be extra cautious tonight. 0-2 & 0-3 at huge prices the value imo.

As a soccer man,I have been disappointed with the abscence of entertainment that the national team now provide under Trap,I wouldn't go tonight for that very reason,I couldn't even continue watching the Andorra game,it was such poor entertainment.

Where do we go,do we provide entertainment and not qualify or bore everybody to death and not qualify?

Also I don't think there is a plan B,if Armenia score the first goal tonight,what will Trap do?

Had a friendly fiver at 400/1 on Armenia to win 4-0 with PP

Why the sudden move for us? 1.81 to 1.69 last half hour or so

dodgy bacon n cabbage served up in the armenian hotel earlier??[;)]

Patriotic punting. You see it with England games too. Price always contracts about 2-3 hours before the match. Most people hate betting against the result they want to see with their heart. They want to be able to win with their heart and their pocket.

It doesn't bother me

more Irish than Armenian punters on here!

3 years and the Italian clowns still struggle with the language, any ideas on how much they get paid?!

IRISH MUGS. HAVE NO MONEY LOL EMBARRASSING NATION OF LOSERS.

lol

So far we've created absolutely nothing. Thought the sending off the Armenian keeper was harsh, touch and go maybe. You could say the cards have fallen nicely for us.

without a doubt thefly 10...

Must be so frustrating to have a decent outfield team all let down by a diabolical keeper

2-0

Much better from us since the break.

2-1

Speaking of diabolical keeping. Pathetic from Given

Well done Ireland.

very poor from us...please god trap will go asap....i'd hate for him to stay on ...funny enough i find myself and dunphy in agreement....

We were atrocious, gifted two goals tonight and hey we won 2-1!. 

Dunphy spoke the truth, 'offended', we need a change, the brand of football been played and team selection is all over the shop. As you said WR, things need to be looked asap. Of course Brady will complement Trap having assisted him a few years back.

a france goal is vital for us

Is it vital, do we definitlely get in as a seed if france draw or better, seems to be a bit of confusion

france penalty

Penalty France...........

Doyle has to be dropped even after the suspension. I like him but he's been terrible lately..and as for Hunt??? no skill whatsoever. I cannot believe the reception he got. The biggest headless chicken I've seen

yesss!!

Andrews looks like a lad that won a competition (for paying his car insurance with aviva by direct debit) to play a few minutes with the irish soccer team and gets a signed jersey to bring home after

yort

estonia, bosnia or montenegro would be good

We can't get Bosnia. I've started a separate thread for the playoffs

The standard of British/Irish football is wank. The attitude to football in these parts of the world is wrong, the wrong mindset is brainwashed into players from a young age and this is what you see. Armenia can count themselves very unlucky. We are truly disgusting to watch and it makes me sick tbh, the national version of stoke

so how will the seeding work, have we a chance? I would seriously doubt it given previous history and the quality of teams left in....Im sure if there is any wriggle room for UEFA with how the seeding is done we definitely wont be seeded

WWCD you've hit the nail on its head. We are still in the Dark Ages in terms of how we play football.

Not a lot of positives from a playing perspective tonight, but then again we never really expected any.

Given was poor for their goal, St. Ledger was very jittery. Duff was decent as always, McGeady very poor in possession, the two boys in central mid embarrassing as always and Doyle seems to get worse by the game.

Cox was a positive, he worked hard but that can't disguise the fact he has limited ability. Walters did well when he came on.

I hope we win the playoff, but if we're beaten then Trap's time is up and a new manager can start building the team around McCarthy, Coleman, Long, etc.

Very little coverage of deliberate handball leading to goalkeepers sending off.  Thierry Henry would not approve... at least he apoolgised

Trapdoor toni obviously doesnt help matters. A very nice gentleman, no doubt and a great manager but his tactics belong to a dead era. Attitude to football here is.....kick it into the channels, work hard, fight for second balls, get in opponents faces, kick them, do whatever to put them of. I am fcuking sick of watching those two cart horses in centre midfield, in particular Andrews Look at the Armenia players and how classy they were on the ball. Needs a total change of mindset

Puzzled me how the RTE panel think it was inconclusive whether the keeper handled the ball or not, he quite clearly did not handle the ball.

Even more amazing was when sky showed the ref before the 2nd half the incident on a monitor with the clear angle and he still said he handled the ball Surely UEFa should not let this clown referee any more big games.

The ref also missed a clear pen for Ireland near the end and gave a corner


Oh yes and we are cack, can barely string 2 passes together, thank god the ref gave the red card and that loon scored the hilarous own goal as we would not have beat them had those 2 things gone in our favour.

fair points dan ,and wwcd..i think we all agree on the limits of our footballers , toxic , is a word that springs to mind...

you be pleased to know premier that tonight's game was his last in international football ...

McCarthy, Long, Greg Cunningham, Ciaran Clarke, Coleman and Fahy would make a huge difference to this team, people saying we've no players are wrong imo.

That was the refs last game tonight, so UEFA can do what they like!!!

must of wanted to leave a mark with those crazeball decisions

I agree neill d, get the footballers on the pitch, the few we have anyway. Imo, you could then get something out of Mc Geady. I would love to see Ireland play fahey, a player with composure and ability

agreed, It won't change now, but if by some miracle we qualify, he should really make an effort to integrate them.

Just back delighted with the win, 21 points is a decent haul from the group. Simon Cox is a good player i really like this lad he is an intelligent footballer. Walters done well when he came on but Kelly was poor and McGeady is an absolute shocker of player imo. I thought we were the better team when it was 11 v 11. We may have got the breaks tonight but Doyle should have scored from the cross that lead to that OG anyway, actually all the goals tonight were soft. At times we played some decent ball  and we deserved our win with us sitting back in the second half. One last thing i thought the atmosphere in the ground tonight was quite good and will be back for the playoff.

We played some decent ball rocketfingers? We where the better team when it was 11 v 11? Think you got caught up in the athmosphere. We couldn't string 2 passes together when it was 11 v 11.

You're listening too much to that fool Dunphy premier, when it was 11 v 11 Ireland had a great chance via Doyle, they had none, nothing on target during the period from them and no way imo to say they were on top. I honestly thought we tried to take the ball down at 'times', and use it which was a big positive on the last few matches, obviously i would like to see much more of it. In the second half at 2-1 we sat deep alright but we were not hanging on exactly, people want us to attack all the time that's a little naive imo. I thought the 15 minutes after half times we nearly got in a few times with Cox and Kelly via neat play and this period was our best in the match.

They had some lovely footballers, number 14 and 18 and was it number 6 all very good technical players, they're a decent side but they looked weak at the back and defending is part of the game too and i thought we defended very well last night bar the goal. That's my view of it anyway i thought they were positives from it first 60 Ireland last 30 belonged to Armenia when we decided to defend. I had Armenia bet pre-match and fair enough we got the breaks but Hunt looked like he had a stonewall penalty not given, so i don't think they were exceptionally unlucky. Anybody i spoke to after the game seemed to think it was an ok match, i thought this game was watchable.

How good are Russia.

how the **** a player of mcgeadys standard earns 50k a week is beyond me , the man is muck , gives the ball away continuously

Ireland played no decent football last night imo rocket fingers, it is easy to get caught up in the atmosphere as it was a big occasion
