Shay had to play his part in holding Cyprus at bay. Ireland getting an early goal didn’t do too much for the nerves at the end where they were frantically holding on for dear life, depending on Shay at the death to show his class and keep Ireland in clean sheets and Trappatoni very happy. Three points was the goal and I’m sure everyone went home happy it was ‘mission accomplished’. Well done Ireland, well done Shay!!
