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

Listen folks we can and we will beat them, 0-0 here and 1-1 over there, then we are off to SA
We need to keep a clean sheat at home.
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.
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!!
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.....
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:
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.
Great draw, but I'm worried Domenech's incompetence will do for France. The fact that he'd be lynched is little consolation.
well, not ideal, but i still think do-able. possibly.
I don't understand the pessimism. France haven't been great in the qualification so far and we've seen that we can get results against good teams. Given a choice of Portugal, Russia or France, I'd definitely take France. Greece would have been ideal but this is still second best IMO.

I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
BELIEVE! :)
Going to be a great night in Croker on 14th November. Trappatoni's choices at full back are key. Could we really trust Kilbane with Ribery? It might be an idea to put Finnan to left back, once he shows some degree of fitness over the next month or so. Steven Reid is crucial for this game.
I wonder will Brian Kerr pass on any info?
