I was all ready to eat the head of Hunt but in fairness I thought that red was harsh.

On another note is there anything more frustrating than watching Ireland pile on the pressure at the Armenian box only to instead pass the ball all the way back to the keeper.

McGeady creates Ireland's 2nd. Raises middle finger to detractors.

Credit when it's due.  Brilliant bit of play to set that goal up.  However it still doesn't get past the fact I don't rate him one bit.  He continues to do that and he might change my mind however.

Poor goal to concede straight away.

I hope you're right.  No better place for him to start this season than against Miami who will be 0-5 by the time week 7 comes around.

Scots 1-0 down.  So much for my long shot Ireland vs Scotland playoff draw.

How anyone can bemoan a footballer running with his head down, and in the same breath champion Stephen Hunt, is beyond me.

IMO Hunt is a better footballer than McGeady.  He might not be great but he looks so much more dangerous than McGeady.  People have built McGeady up as this great footballer ever since he was a young lad at Celtic, I never rated him.

A goal to the good at the half and not because we are the better team...

Armenia have handed this to us.  Going a man down and giving us a goal.  Doyle what was he thinking...

Lucky not to give away the free in front of the box there...

I don't understand why McGeady continuously starts for Ireland.  Hunt always looks more dangerous when he is on and I'd much rather see him getting a chance.

Keeper didnt, watched , slowed it down off his chest

It hit underneath his arm I thought.  I feel sorry for the keeper but the ref got this one right.

What is Kelly at.  Terrible challange.

Ten minutes in and all the pressure is coming from the Armenians.  It could be a long 90 minutes.

I don't disagree about winning these games but seeing that a draw is enough I feel that the team that Trap sets out won't take the risks or attack far enough up the field to but the pressure on and win this game by two or three like I feel we should.  Trap will be happy with a draw and won't do much more than is required for fear of falling a goal behind.

Another dire game ahead of us.  We should be winning these games but I feel we will have to take a draw.  1-1 which will see us into the playoffs.

[On a different note I can still not get my head round how fickle some American football fans are. They 'support' them things are going well but the rest of the time they just slate the shite outta them. Booing and shouting abuse at every opportunity. I remember the abuse Damarcus Russell (yes I know he was shite) got in one match I was at. How they think this will help them perform is beyond me!]

Well he had 490 receiving yards in his first two seasons and he has 263 after 4 games. He was the stereotypical Al Davis pick, unbelievable speed but considered a reach at #7.

So you mean he's beginning to realise his potential?

I've a mate who is a bronco's fan, he wants them to lose every game this season so they can pick up Luck in the draft...absolute madness

Similar to the Orton/Tebow situation.  Orton is nothing special but it makes the job that much harder when your own fans are booing you at games and are shouting for an unproven QB to take your place.  Not to mind that your own fans are erecting billboards at a massive cost just to get their point across.  You would have to be mentally strong to not let that get to you when you are trying to win games.

In saying that now that Tebow is named as starter for Week 7 against Miami they should give him a few games to see if he can do the job at this level.
