    Iceland 1-0 up in Norway. I can only assume geysir inadvertently switched off his computer in his euphoria.

    What would it mean if we were to win tonight and Slovenia were to draw against Switzerland?

    Holland 2-0 up against Turkey now. Slovenia and Switzerland still 0-0. Both games just past the half-way mark.

    I haven't been following it, but I'd imagine we still need a couple more results to go our way.

    On a side note, Armenia are drawing away to Italy having been one goal to the good and could still conceivably sneak a playoff spot if a lot of results go their way.

    Slovenia losing 1-0 with five minutes to go. Iceland looking good for the play-offs.

    Looks like Romania, 2-0 up at home to Estonia, may make the play-offs in place of Turkey if scores finish as they are.

    I'm assuming Romania could leap-frog us into the second pot with a good result or two in the play-offs? I think they're the only side below us to worry about.

    According to George, if results stay as they are and Romania don't win both playoff games outright, we will step up to second seeds.

    So, Romania have to lose both their play-off games? What if they were to draw one or both or even win one and lose one but still go out?

    From what George said, they need to win both to leapfrog us.

    Darragh Maloney reckons otherwise, we need Romania to not win either game. They'll be unseeded so this is very possible.

    Dunphy's been drinking. I can't believe we still indulge this man.

    Word on YBIG is that only two wins for Romania in the play-offs can take them past us and into the second pot for the Euros draw. I'm led to believe that not even a win and a draw would suffice for them.

    From what I worked out, they need to 87,883pts from those games to get past us. The only way is with 2 wins. (or a draw and a 32 goal win)
    They will be playing
    Portugal
    Greece
    Croatia or
    Ukraine

    Denislson to the rescue. Who do we hope they play from that lot? Possibly depends on who is away first. You'd expect Portugal to get an away draw and win at home, but the rest?

    Ukraine and Portugal should be nailed on, the other two, anything could happen...

    So, Romania have been drawn against Greece with Greece at home for the first leg. I'd be very surprised if Romania were able to beat the Greeks in both fixtures so the chances of us being in the second pot for the Euro 2016 qualification draw are surely pretty high.

    Will change my thoughts possibly about Ukraine, though hope they sneak through in the most dubious circumstances...
    As for Greece, no tempting Fate please...

    Or that should say 'Tempting of the Fates' ?

    Interesting draw. I'd go with...

    Portugal v Sweden (not at all certain though, Portugal will need a very good home leg I feel)
    France v Ukraine (Can't see many goals in this, possibly a 1-0 or 2-1 agg win)
    Greece v Romania (Limited knowledge of the Romanians but would think Greece might have too much experience for them)
    Iceland v Croatia (Pretty luck draw for Croatia given the mess they're in. I'd have fancied the others against them but they should have enough here if they get their act together a bit)

    We need Zlatan at the World Cup.

    You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!

    No more so than Ronaldo in fairness, two stroppy geniuses. Personally I feel Ronaldo and Portugal would have more to offer for the neutral. They seem to be playing with fire quite often though in terms of ending up in a playoff, bound to catch up with them sooner or later.

    I'll be more pro-Portugal than pro-Sweden in this case.

    Hopefully, Portugal, Ukraine, Croatia and Greece get there.
