Here we go!

hoping the friendlies against croatia, italy, scotland and northern ireland prove their worth tonight along with a bit of momentum from the two victories over macedonia

Derry,

What's your plans for Andorra??? I'm just going to stay in Barca myself.

Just noticed the link there London

Do those clowns not realise we're playing Slovakia???

Ha! Well spotted! Didnt even notice it myself.

I think the pressure is really on Kevin Doyle now. He knows he is no longer first choice with Trapps.

In fairness while Doyle plays his heart out for us and is always in the thick of the action he doesn't score enough goals for us. Hopefully this will change tonight

Forget it, the Republic are rubbish and will be shown up tonight and next week.

Slovakia to win 2-0 tonight and Russia to win 4-0 next week

Ah stop Robbie it's not Doyles fault that when he starts Trap bases our game on lumping it to him. Great player and as far as I'm concerned our best player! COME ON IRELAND!!!!!

Rubbish??? Says the fella who made an article "Norn Iron will qualify for Euro 2012". Not one single NI player would make the ROI team! If they are any bit decent they would have elected to play for the Ireland A team not our feeder team(NI)

Seriously crucial game tonight & if anyone try's to waste my time this evening or get in the way of me watching this match tonight, I will lump them!!... that's how nervous I am!!!!

I agree, a 2-1 is our most likely scoreline.

If we keep a solid, organised shape we will win. We don't even need possession, just stay organised and profit off the opposition team's almost inevitable defensive howlers.. isn't that how we score most of our goals?

And will you be complaining as long as we get the 3 points Larry! Let's be honest it's rare we really play well but we are getting hard to beat! Upwards and onwards! Euro 2012 here we come!
