Dates

[TommyT]

Anyone know the dates set aside for the qualifiers for the next World Cup or where I might find them ?

Aren't they being decided when the countries meet in Dublin on Feb 3rd?

The fixtures are, but the framework of breaks in the club season for internations would have to be in place before then.

on a slightly different note, I notice that the 18th Feb (Weds) has been set aside for an international friendly.

Guess the FAI should be making an announcemnt soon - message to F Rooney - no more games like the one against Canada: decent opp is needed!!

Well Wales are playing Scotland so thats them out.

Suggest the FAI choose opponents that will attract supporters to Lansdowne Road. No shoddy 22,000 attendance this time.

Perhaps they could invite a Man Utd Select XI ;)

I presume they're going to be the same weekends as usual - the weekend around the 1st September, 8th October, 15th November, etc. In that case, last season's Premiership fixtures will show you the dates by the off weeks.
