Despite all the doom and gloom about the Irish team and how we lack players of the calibre of Brady, Stapleton, Whelan, Moran, McGrath, Lawrenson ect ect, we have still managed to survive a group which included the World Champions and now have the WC runners up ****ting themselves. In my book thats progress, whether we win or lose the playoff. I think it will be 0-0 tomorrow night and we will qualify with a late equaliser in Paris. A bumpy ride but was it ever any other way.
