Ireland Republic

shane long deserves more caps before this goal hopefully the goal will convince trap

Irish supporters being all poignant and dumb singing The fields of athenry. I really hope we don't qualify. I wouldn't want the greatest competition in the world to be marred by having that schmaltzy crap in the same stadiums that Pelé and Jairzinho have graced.

Need a Hoolahan type player clearly.

slight improvement against the Faroe Islanders. Coleman is doing really well!

Would sacking Trapattoni really fix everything? I don't think so. The problem is the players. They're not good enough. Ward, O'Dea, Fahey, Keogh, McShane, McClean, McCarthy, Cox, Green and Whelan are all terrible. They should be playing in the league of Ireland. No composure, poor first touch, too slow, no footballing intelligence, unable to play as a team, unable to read the game, bad positional awareness, often play the wrong pass. I could go on.

The only problem with the manager for me is his pidgin English. The real problem are the afore mentioned, weak football players.

Surprised that Trapattoni continues to overlook Shane Long. Jon Walters is a good player, but Long is in sparkling form atm.

good win against oman bring on the germans !!!!!!

well done:).gd luck against us

I have a feeling ireland might get a point of germany

Why does Trap love Doyle so much he is terrible, at least Long runs around and makes an effort...
