Feckin justintv one just died on me

very jumpy for me

all i can see is sepp fatter making some faces and probably bad jokes

like a german journo once said, he has 50 new ideas every day and 51 of them are bad.

[paul_oshea]

There are 13 sluts going to South Africa from Europe, i hope we meet some of them over there.

[SuperDave]

it's also live on rte.ie

its being covered live on the news apparently

[paul_oshea]

This french guy love "sluts". :D

[paul_oshea]

[Maroon 7]

France

[pineapple stu]

France. Home first.

[thischarmingman]

France,.

[shakermaker1982]

we've got France or they are first out of pot?

[tippex]

balls balls balls

[RonnieB]

we got france, fecking home first.

[Noelys Guitar]

France. First game at home. Oh Well. Lets go and qualify.

[pineapple stu]

Ireland v France
Portugal v Bosnia
Greece v Ukraine
Russie v Slovenia

First named team at home first in all cases.

[paul_oshea]

worst possible draw for us and combination

[shakermaker1982]

oh FFS.

[Mr A]

€€€€€ for the FAI though, and not too bad to get to at least.

[Maroon 7]

worst possible draw for us.

Think the Russians would have been worse to be honest.

[osarusan]

Whelan and Andrews will command the middle of the park against those pesky frogs.

[Drumcondra 69er]

Sickened. Why are we always home first, same for Belgium, Turkey and Iran.

[paul_oshea]

ah osarusan that thought had just made me feel sick.

[Reality Bites]

**** Draw

[shakermaker1982]

Delaney wanted France........Henry, Benzema and Ribery = we'll batter em!

[RonnieB]

Best get the panzer out of the garage.... we going to Paris.

[endabob1]

we are fubar'd

[OneRedArmy]

I'd rather have got Greece, but I'm glad we didn't get Russia.

Could've been worse, could've been better.

[brendy_éire]

****** to it all!

A quick check on the flights, Ryanair's are hovering around the €300 mark.

[Pauro 76]

Feck it. Feck it anyway. Feckin France....

[RonnieB]

cheap flight to london and get the eurostar.

[Noelys Guitar]

i could have done without O'Dreary's rambling there. Great matches to look forward to. I'd be very happy with a 0-0 at home. And then go over to Paris for at least a score draw.

[third policeman]

Whelan and Andrews will command the middle of the park against those pesky frogs.

Make that S.Reid and Nolan and we'll have a decent chance.

[mafitz]

Listen folks we can and we will beat them, 0-0 here and 1-1 over there, then we are off to SA

[shakermaker1982]

We need to keep a clean sheat at home.

[francesco_1]

I booked my flight during the offer last week i paid 2 cent return :)

Wasnt long flying to 300 euro.

Should be 2 good nights for the irish.

[Buller]

Whelan and Andrews will command the middle of the park against those pesky frogs.

They wont know what hit them when the see Whelan at full speed after Lawrence pulls it back!!!

COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[RonnieB]

They wont know what hit them when the see Whelan at full speed after Lawrence pulls it back!!!

COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!! :D

They will be waving white flags before tea time.

[Lenny82]

What the **** happened to the second draw to determine who plays home first? Another last minute movement of the goal posts by FIFA?

Jaysus thats an awful draw but better than getting Russia or Portugal.

So much for Trap being the luckiest manager ever. Didn't see much luck there!!

[paul_oshea]

when will the tickets go on sale.

waht was that french website again.

jees i even had the father ringing me there about tickets for paris.....

[theneutral]

Horrible draw, Fifa scummers have had there way alright!

Afraid i cant see us getting through this tie, France tunred it round with there last 3 games, scoring for fun.

A clean sheet at home would be vital and 0-0 1-1 would seem to be the only chance id give us.

Not holding out too much hope!:mad:

[OneRedArmy]

Our best performances generally come when we are big underdogs.

I'd say Trap won't be overly bothered.

The one real positive are that France are French..... By that I mean that on a semi-regular basis they underperform drastically and have a complete howler, with the apathy of the Parisian crowd (not) ringing in their ears.

Nil all in Croker and I'd nearly back us.
