Will update in a hour when home from work, just played a friendly match against Austria.
 
Republic Of Ireland Vs Turkey

Pre-Match: After a poor performance against Austria Burke will be expecting better from his men against a tough Turkey side.[/I]

How they Line-Up:

No ScreenShot But Its:Given-Kilbane-Dunne-McShane-O'Shea-Hunt-Gibson-Whelan-McGeady-Doyle-Keane , Notably Celtic Forward Cillian Sheridan on bench for Ireland.

First Half: A dull opening is brought to live when Keane breaks through and his shot shaves the post, Good effort. 5 mins later and Stoke Forward Tuncay places his shot into the top corner and Ireland are losing again. But not for long as 8 mins later Hunt cuts in from the wing and puts it in the top corner what a goal by Hunt. Wonder Kid Arda Turan has a volloy well saved by Given. End of half good game so far.

Half-Time: Sheridan on for Doyle ..

Second Half: Good start for Ireland as Keane gets onto a ball by McGeady and has his shot well saved. Sheridan in the 63 min is true with just the keeper to beat he has to score! NO! he has hit his shot straight at the keeper, he could have capped a debut with a goal. Noting in the last 20 mins but Nuri Sahin gets the ball and takes on Dunne who he beats and shots and hits the post, so close for Turkey.Last min now and Turkey have a corner, Ireland have to keep their concentration to not concede, Ball whipped to the back post and Servet jumps and he's headed in. DISASTER for Ireland as Turkey now lead the game 2-1.

Final Score ..

Final Verdict: You have to feel sorry for Ireland as their were the better side in a very well contested match and didn't deserve to lose but this will go down as Burke's 2nd defeat.
 
Republic Of Ireland Vs Singapore

Pre-Match: A great match to bounce back with a bang against a weak Singapore team.

How They Line-Up ..

View attachment 38637

Team News: A pretty much full strength team from Ireland with most notable changes being Kevin Foley in at RB and James McCarthy in at CM.

First Half: 3 mins on the clock and a corner comes in and a mix up in the box which Doyle pounces on and scores, Great start for Ireland and hopefully they can push on from here.20 mins gone and Doyle beats 2 players and tries his luck from distance and OOO the bar, Good effort Doyle. Amazingly Sing had the better of the half after this and are unlucky to go in losing, Shocking stuff from Ireland.

Half Time: Change in tactics for Ireland as they go for more attacking looking one, Shane Long comes on for Doyle to make his first appearence under Burke and McGeady on for James O'Shea.

Second Half: 1 min into the half and McGeady just on makes his presence known as he beats a player and runs down the wing and picks out A Reid who makes a late run into the box and scores with a nice finish, Change in tactic seems to work for Ireland so far. Ireland 2 up. 10 mins later and foley makes a charge up the pitch and tries his luck and OOOO WHAT A GOAL! The Right Full runs the length of the pitch and scores from 35 yards, Amazing Goal. Ireland 3-0. And it only gets better 5 mins later as A Reid turns and teases his marker and plays a lovely ball to Long who strikes brilliantly into the net, Ireland 4-0. 70 mins on the clock and Singapore Striker Moktar benifit's from slack defending from Ireland and scores, Ireland 4-1. 2 mins later and Keane runs onto a ball over the top and strikes wide. 80 mins on the clock and Long takes a knock down from Keane and scores his 2nd goal of the game with a neat finish, Great start for Long under Burke so far, Ireland 5-1 . Last min of the game and Keane has a ball played into his path by James McCarthy and hits it first time into net, Ireland 6-1, WHAT A GAME!.

Final Result ..

Final Verdict: A great performance from Ireland who really benifited from the change of tactics by Burke and it showed on the scoreline.
 
Republic Of Ireland Vs Scotland

Pre-Match: After the trashing of Singapore hopes were high of getting a result against Scotland.

How Ireland Line-Up ..

View attachment 38640

Team News: Burke has decided to stick with the tactic that he used against Singapore in the 2nd half which resulted in them scoring 5 goals, Big suprise in Line-Up as Ireland play Latvia in 4 days time in a Euro 2012 Group game, Notable Keith Tracey starts on left wing and Darren O'Dea makes his debut for Ireland.

First Half: Good start for Ireland as McGeady's free kick is meet by Dunne who has his header well saved, But Scotland hit Ireland on the counter-attack from this and Darren Fletcher scores from 30 yards and Ireland are 1 nil down after 5 mins. 17 mins later and Fletcher scores again this time from a McFadden corner, 2-0 Scotland. 7 mins later and McCann plays a lovely ball for Doyle who takes it in his stride and finish's beautifuly, Scotland 2-1 up but good fight from Ireland. HALF TIME.

Half-Time: Long on for Doyle

Second Half: Scotland kick of and play a few pass's and they try and ball over the top to Boyd who gets to it and hits it from 25 yards and scores, Disaster start to the 2nd half for Ireland. 13 mins later and Boyd and Strike Partner S Fletcher play some neat pass's and Boyd plays him in and Fletcher makes no mistake, 4-1 Scotland, Awful By Ireland. Shane Long has a goal ruled off-side but I'm not so sure, Not that it would make a difference and game ends 4-1 Scotland. FULL TIME.

Final Result ..

Final-Verdict: Awful by Ireland simply awful, losing 4-1 to Scotland is one of Ireland's worst ever results and the pressure is on Burke now.
