Manchester City Forums

Or City v City.

Given, Dunne, Bon Jovi and Petrov (but not Stevie) will all play.

We'll beat the bastards!

It is on RTE and they also stream their matches on the net - rte.com or rte.ie. It is on Saturday evening. It may also be on Sky.

I have a bad feeling about this one.
We need a good result to stay ahead of the Bulgarians in the group and I think it will be a struggle to even get a point.

perhaps a complimentary Kleenex should be placed upon each seat at Eastlands this year?

Italy are top of the group. If we win we'll go top with a game extra played.

We are currently 2nd behind Italy but we've played a lot of easy matches so it'll be close between us and Bulgaria for 2nd place. Even a point on Saturday would keep a healthy gap.

Team......Played....Points
Italy...........6.......14
Ireland........6.......12
Bulgaria.......5.......7
Cyprus........5.......4
Montenegro.5........3
Georgia.......7 .......3

It'll be 0-0 I reckon. Trap/ Ireland will be happy with that.

One thing is for sure though. Robbie Keane will be criticised no matter what.

When he scores - People will say "He should have passed it"

The likes of Kilbane, Doyle and Hunt will be praised for "working hard"

Yup. He has a good scoring ratio but is always slagged for not scoring in the "big games". ROI fans still go on about Richard Dunne and how he used to like his sauce a bit too much.....

what was that, 5 years ago he cleaned up his act?

Yup. If not longer. A lot of twats who turn up for games haven't got a fucking clue. This is proved when they start doing the Mexican wave during qualifying games.

It's true. He scores more against shit teams. It's not a Robbie Keane thing - It's just International Football. Look at Rooney's record for England or Van Nistelrooy's for Holland. People tend to gloss over the fact you play shit teams more often.

When this argument comes up I ask if the goal he got against Iran for the '02' WC was a "big game goal" or if his goals against Germany and Spain in the World Cup were "big game goals" Generally, the answer is "O' you don't count that"

Here's a list of his International goals. It's pretty good if you ask me.

Just need to avoid defeat and we're well on our way. Nothing surer than Dunne will clatter Boj and maybe Petrov as well.
