I honestly think we will...Anyone else?
Well its a World Cup thats far away, so yeah we will qualify. When its close by like in Germany we never qualify. im thinking we will qualify throuhg the playoffs after beating Greece thanks to a 86th minute Andy Reid strike in the second leg in Croker. now off to the bookies
best of luck with that one mate!!!Quote:

With Paddy Power we're 5-2 to qualify, 1-4 not to.Quote:

Yeah reckon we'll pip the Bulgarians to 2nd in the group by the skin of our proverbials. Play-off's are dodge city so who knows. Anyway whatever happens it's going to be interesting times ahead - that Friendly against Serbia is going to be a thenstart of an era rather than the usual non-event.
Remember that only 8 of the 9 groups get into the play offs though. It would be disastrous if we finished 2nd and didn't make the play offs.

I think we will do it, I see that Trap has had instant success wherever he has gone and I think that it will be no different with Ireland
After the last campaign its hard to be optimistic but surely it cant reach as low as last time. I would like to think we'll make the playoffs and who knows then, if we're playing well, we'd have a good chance.

Its a great site for going onto Paddy powers from in work...
I'll be there, not sure about Ireland though, we'll do well to get 2nd and then win a play-off. Depends on Trapp getting the best from a pretty thin squad and our big players being on form and availible for all the games
