Looking at the wikipedia page, most of the Estonian winner/equalizers came soon after the opposition had scored, or in the last 15 minutes, so that will target Ireland's traditional approach of having a nap after scoring or parking the bus near the end.
But the Faroes came close to doing the double over them- quick, someone get on the phone to Brian Kerr!
John Delaney can't hold back his delight!

Giovanni Trapattoni's side will be away in the first leg on either Friday, 11 November/Saturday 12 November, with the return tie at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday, 15 November.
Isn't the match in the Coq Arena were Rovers played? Not a huge ground but hopefully will b a huge Irish crowd there.
Upwards of 500mph I'd say.Quote:

There is no "second draw", you get who you get and that's the draw.Quote:

Does the Away Goal rule come into play as in other Euro competitions? e.g. we lose 1-2 away but win 1-0 at home, are we in or do we play extra time in the second game?
4/9 with Paddy Power to qualify
Holy fcuk, they'll have that footage on a permanent loop in the Estonian dressing room before the games.Quote:
