Myself and my friends were not involved in anything but we saw a number of lads around our hotel after the game that had been beaten up. Also, one of the pubs being used by Irish fans was raided by a gang of skinheads while the police watched on (The police in Russia are also particularly corrupt). Coming home, our flight was help up for in the region of 24 hours because a Russian official would not let our flight leave unless he was paid a bribe. I'd go to Russia again on a holiday but not on a football trip. I was in Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1990 (a great place to go on your first foreign holiday!) and had a great time. It's just unfortunate that in the very odd country football can bring out the wrong sort of people.

And who do you hope Ireland get in their group;)

I want us to be in the 5 team group. Less games for us to lose ground in!

If we're in a 6 team group and get Montenegro from the last pot we a proper fooked!

looks like Romania could squeeze into pot 1, so my preference would be

Romania
Norway
Ireland
Wales
Liechtenstein

Zagreb was the best trip of the lot, despite the result.

I said killer trips in reference to bluebeards post before mine, where he mentions he would hope we get kazahstan and azerbijan..

Has to be Engerland, scotland wales and somewhere sunny! (not cyprus thank you)
I love the atmosphere of high octane games, local derbies. can you imagine if we played wales early this time at a full millenium, wembley and hampden away, the tension and build up would be fantastic. Returns at croker!! Plus the satisfaction of possible beating them would be heaven!
Maybe our lads would finally be up for it too.
I honestly think we would have a decent chance also.
Roll on Sunday!

Sounds good to me. Drawing England would be great - Will really confuse them when all the 2G's turn up :D Also its handy having the use of a house in London;)

Anywhere a bit more random, like Kazakhstan would be my choice.
I wanted Russia, but after reading what Paulie had to say, it sounds like a place for a holiday not a footy trip.

I would bet on it, defo Kazakhs and England. This draw is going to be nerve jangling to say the least. 20,000 ireland fans in Borat swimsuits! LOL :D

Kazakhstan would be brilliant alright. I think it's about a twelve hour flight so it's a long way to go for a short trip but it would just have to be done. If not there, hopefully we'll get at least one eastern European country.

I think the less said about the Borat swimsuits the better. There's just no good way of looking at that.
