81 minutes played and its Nil - Nil score for Italy and the ROIreland.

I am getting very worried about the Italian Manager..... he is still ranting and
raving............... not sure anyone is listening to be honest.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

PRAYERS HEARD AND ANSWERED.....

A GOAL for Ireland. Headed in by Brady.... number 19........

When Irish eyes are smiling...... the stadium is erupting!!

ITALY 0 ~ REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 1

YES YES YES

ROBBIE BRADY! HEADED A GOAL FOR IRELAND

Saved their skins! Tatties

:-D :-D :-D

ooooooo OH is jumping up and down in horror

What a chance gone down the plughole!

Ireland supporter with a big curly wig in green white and gold

ROBBIE KEANE is coming on.

No relation to Roy!

Just 10 minutes left....... Ireland NEED a goal.......

Come on Ireland........ give us a goal and Radio Jem will let you into the parlour.

Italy 2 off and number 22 on.

ZAZA has collided with the goalie I think?

He was holding his eyes!

another Italian sub, but not attempting the names :-D

SCORE STILL 0 - 0

Ireland HAVE to score to go through to the knock-out rounds :-(

Italy's INSIGNE kicks to the goal, but it hit the post!

He's ever so small!.

I haven't had time to do my usual pre-match specials this time. Too much on! :-D :-D :-D :-D

8 McCarthy off and 20 on for Ireland.

Too busy singing The Fields of Athenry to see which sub is on now......

Fields Of Athenry being sang by the Irish Supporters now

Just 15 minutes to go!

BUCK YOUR IDEAS IRELAND

Ire Subs
WES HOOLAHAN ON

JAMES McCARTHEY OFF

Awww LOVE IT Jem
can't play the link or I'd miss the goal that Ireland is going to give us soon.

Will play it afterwards .

Low lie the fields of Athenry
where once we saw the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry ....... tralalalalalalalalala

Oh the Irish fans have heard me......... listen..... they are singing it too

McGready kicks a strong ball, but over the top

Italy Subs
CIRO IMMOBILE OFF
His manager must have thought that immobility is not a good thing in a footballer;-)


INSIGNE ON

STEPHEN WARD WAS BOOKED

YELLOW CARD FOR GIVING THE REF A BIT OF VERBAL! :-0 :-0 :-0

McLean kicks across, but an Irish Goal is elusive! Not for the want of trying though

21 Murphy Ireland comes off to lots of clapping and cheers.
McCready is on for Ireland......... now lets have a goal please....... pretty please.
It's getting boring now!!!

Or they won't be allowed into the parlour ;-) :-D :-D

7. Aiden McGeady warming up to come on

He's on and Daryl Murphy goes off to huge applause

Well the Irish fans are banging the drum and shouting for their team.

COME ON IRELAND, COME ON IRELAND. COME ON IRELAND

We need the Irish Eyes to be Smiling at the end of this game.
