I’ll go with 1-1 at Croke Park and 2-1 to France in Stade De France.
I can’t see us doing something we’ve been proved incapable of time after time.
The pundits on Setanta are saying “we need to improve to beat anyone in the play-offs”, they are right, but how can we improve without the likes of Andy Reid??
HOPE I AM WRONG.
1-1 at home for sure and us to score first and to script the french to equalise in second half, 2-1 to France in home leg...Close but no Cigar!
1-1 in Dublin we score early they get a dodgy penalty in the 2nd half
1-0 France in Paris, they're seemingly content with 0-0 but eventually catch us on the break.
Id say you are wrong about Stade De France straight offQuote:

Beat 1-0 home and away.
0-0 in Dublin
1-1 in Paris
if the FAI distribute green beach balls beforehand we might have a chance
I have a horrible feeling that they are going to tear us a new one over the 2 legs. If we managed to get the away leg 1st, we would have some chance but I cant see us getting anything out of either game in all honesty. It is the worst draw possible.
Ill go for 0-1 at CP and 2-0 in Paris. :(
90 per cent of people on here wanted to avoid russia. now all of a sudden everyone saying its a terrible draw v france it seems. its tough but id prefer going to paris with a chance than lisbon. personally i wanted russia if we didnt get greece.
0-0 in Dublin, 1-1 in Paris with Keane doing a copycat job of his Germany goal in the 90 something'th minute.. :D
I said from day 1 France were the team to avoid. The temperamental Russians could struggle in Dublin which would give us an outside chance of progressing. I don't see the French giving us much in Dublin.Quote:

Thats what I reckon too...Quote:

I reckon they will tear us apart over there...hope I'm proved wrong
The way we are set up tactically - we'll have to avoid conceding in Dublin if we want to win the tie over two legs.
Its an obvious enough point but certainly something that springs initially to mind about this tie.
1 goal in Paris a tall order - 2? Forget it.
1-1 in Dublin, 2-2 in France. Thats me being optimistic though, wouldnt be suprised if we lose each leg. As someone said above think its vital we turn Paris into another Dublin leg for us with as many fans as possible.
Isn't Ribery injured at the moment... Will he be back for these games??
cross your fingers and pray, eh?Quote:
