This could be huge, especially when you look at the way the matches are scheduled:
Georgia 1 - 2 Ireland
Montenegro 0 - 0 Ireland
Ireland v Cyprus
Ireland v Georgia
Ireland v Bulgaria
Italy v Ireland
Bulgaria v Ireland
Cyprus v Ireland
Ireland v Italy
Ireland v Montenegro
I am 100% positive that Dunne got carded. I'm pretty sure Whelan picked one up as well.
Perhaps I'm losing it, but I remember thinking "oh ****" when Dunne got a card.
EDIT: I read some match reports, and it seems that I am indeed losing it!
....is usually good for a yellow, as the european refs dont like his crunching tackles.
am counting down the days to the cyprus game. i really hope we do them over. Cyprus away for me is the crucial game of the campaign. win there, and we'll qualify i reckon. cant see the bulgarians beating us at home.
well, heres hoping.
According to FIFA we got no cards.
