paddymcp Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 That Armenia side was one of the worst I can remember in recent years to play at Hampden. If they can beat Ireland then the Irish must be absolute dug meat. id go with the Same team tonight with Hanley replacing Hendry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for them, Bazunu is out injured for these games. Can’t believe the odds for this game. Really not sure Bazunu is better than Gordon anyway. But yeah it's a poor Ireland team, and agreed with comment about not overthinking it as some faux rivalry or a British style match. They're just some shite team we need to beat (as a second string Ukraine and a gash Armenia have already done). -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s about to sign for Southampton for £10m or so to and has a really good shot to be their No. 1. I’d have him over Gordon every time. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit off topic here, but I was particularly impressed with Gordon's footwork last night. Rook some pretty hairy backpasses with absolutely zero fuss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabGaz Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Must admit that i’ll be seething if we don’t win this one. They are absolutely shite. They seem to have two decent, promising ‘keepers in Bazunu and Kelleher but other than that their squad is as poor as it has been in my lifetime. Richard Dunne & Gary Breen were fairly scathing about RoI on Premier Sports last night and they certainly don’t fancy their chances on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Don't get anything for second in this group, so this game is must win. Have to assume that Ukraine will be getting nine points from their home game against Ireland and both their games against Armenia, so we will also be needing nine points from our three remaining games against those two. Then just need to hope we can edge Ukraine on the head to head or goal difference for top spot. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from potential Pot 2 for the Euros qualifiers and a very strong chance of a play-off. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Germany are already qualified then the best runner up gets into Pot 2. With Russia not playing then how is that affecting the groups? Do the points against the worst side in the other 3 'B' groups get taken off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Let's get this silly gang of pish pumped. None of the Strachan loser mentality that was evident that time we drew with them (which proved pretty costly). Stephen Kenny was sacked as Pars manager after this run of games: 0-5 vs Hamilton (H) 3-0 vs Stirling Albion (A) 0-4 vs Livingston (H) He's a daft diddy who forgets jumpers and frequented Jiggies in Dunfermline (apparently). -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that same group, Germany lost and Poland drew in Dublin, but aye we had a divine right to win there. That team was not the shite one that they have now - as evidenced by them reaching the knockout stages of the Euros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were however beatable but it seemed we settled for a draw in that game long before the end, and Ireland weren't particularly good that day. They were much better than the gash they have now, thus the comment about getting them pumped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Take the game to Ireland, as they won't sit in like Armenia and we will get a result Get big Hanley on Duffy at corners and free kicks, and double up on Robinson when they attack Ireland are poor at the moment, get them pumped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Everyone will say the Irish aren't great, but you have to hand it to the Ukrainian reserve team, that's still quite a good result. Stephen Kenny has said already he will need to rest some players so I'm not too sure what to expect - their match and travel schedule has been more intense than ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 There's so much general positivity about this game, I'm getting a bad feeling. Playing an underperforming team whose manager must be under huge pressure away from home in a match which would be great to win for many reasons, with us coming off a reasonable display and having a pretty big squad who are playing well.... What could possibly go wrong! Also, we might really regret not taking more chances last night for goal difference purposes (if that applies) . It's perfectly possible that RoI might finish bottom of the group, not Armenia. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Really want us to get our baws oot here and just dominate the game. I do fear we'll sit off and let them have possession, which will just let them grow into the game. We are a much better team when we take the game by the scruff of the neck and play at pace. Get this gang pumped. **Shane Duffy masterclass incoming** -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Kenny can really do is rotate in the likes of Obafemi, McClean and Browne. In other words, it doesn't matter what he does, they're fucked because they have shite players. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
