Match Day Thread Republic of Ireland v Wales

World Cup Qualifiers Group stage
Date - Friday, 24 March 2017
Kick off - 19:45
Venue - Aviva Stadium, Dublin

Crunch time for Wales on Friday, lose and qualification for the FIFA 2018 World Cup would potentially be out of reach.

The Republic of Ireland are in the driving seat at the top of Group D, two points ahead of second-placed Serbia and a further two ahead of Wales in third.

Wales will have to take risks and attack, as they're the ones who need to make up ground.

 

This is a must win game.

2-0 Wales seeing as ROI have a shed load of injuries.

 

This is a must win game for Wales, if they are to have any chance of qualifying, I'm not too optimistic, after the last few games, we live in hope that we can get back to our best, Ramsey seriously needs to find his best form, and I hope Bale is at his best..........

 

Sorry folks but ...COME ON IRELAND .

 

I think Ireland will win and end any hope of qualification. Wales have been poor since the Euros.

 

Doesn't really matter that much to me , I'd settle for Wales winning and Ireland losing if I had a guarantee of no Swansea players getting injured . I don't really follow a lot of the World Cup or Euros but will watch the odd game near the end .

 

But there are NO swansea players in either squads.....so...

 

That's about how much I follow it , seems a bit off though as there are usually a lot. EDIT .. Besides I didn't say anything about any particular game , just that no Swansea players be injured ... although , we both know that's not what I meant
Got me good on that one Norfolk ... !$&(&^$%*(

 

to be honest Roof, I am not that interested in International football. I did get excited with Wales performances in the Euros. But if they fail to qualify for the World cup (which they will do), I will lose no sleep over it. If they get there great if they don't then so be it.

 

Same ...Even if Canada qualified , fat chance of that though . I think we made it to the World Cup once and have never scored a goal . PS .. You and your son already for the next few games at Liberty

 

Yes mate I can go to the next game as it stands, but have to check his fixtures. However this year I will not be renewing my ST, I am falling out of love with football and my club, I don't like the way the club is going or being run and cannot give them my money any more and the way they moved my seat which I had been in since moving to the Liberty but doing it 4 months after taking my money and then blatantly lying in the press, so after 20 odd years of renewing, my time has come to an end.

 

I thought the same about attending any football matches a couple of years ago. It is no longer value for money and when you think how much money the players earn then sorry not in my name......I now support them from my armchair and put my money to better use......Football is a rip off at that price that you have to be a mug to give rich players and staff your hard earned cash.....they are laughing all the way to the bank.....

 

Next season I will be watching Garden Village in the Welsh league, Watching players with less talent give everything in their games and I will enjoy it as much, My hard earned £5 will go each week back in to local football.

 

Sorry to hear

 

Canada 1 - 0 up on Scotland .. thought I better insert this before the walls come crumbling down on us ..lol

 

1-1 draw - your boys did well Roof

 

Scotland are a poor side just like their league.....

 

My son played there for about 4 season's, then went to Stebonheath, under 17's, 18's, and 19's, won the West Wales league Cup with the Reds under 19's......

 

Sorry to hear that trunds, I know a few were not happy with being shifted from the South stand!..........

 

Let the bells ring and the banners fly ..we didn't lose .
