Feel bad for estonia, but screw it! hurray for us
Looks like we are stuck with Trap for the foreseeable future! :laugh:
Brilliant. Absouletely brilliant. Congrats to Traps management team and all the players. For all those too young to have lived through 1988 you are going to have the football experience of a life time because for me the Euro's is better craic than the World Cup.
Congrats to the Irish team and to Gio Trapattoni/Marco Tardelli. Great night!!:D
Noely, I completely agree, but this is the last of the great Euros. Euro2016 with 24 is gonna suck.
Brother just sent me a text saying Trap in tears on RTE. Shows how much it means to him.
Will it be a full house on Tuesday nite with a party atmosphere, or will some people not bother now we are through?
It's a long trip from Galway, but I wouldn't miss it for the world!!Quote:

Thrilled.... ******* thrilled!!
Great result and it's not often everything clicked for us on the night.
McGeady & Walters played well, Keane looked sharp despite only coming back from his injury and ....still cannot believe we have nearly qualified. I thought we'd win but didn't expect that.
Is it OK to feel optimistic now?
If it's Ukraine I should be able to bypass their uber-capitalistic impulse to fleece the fyck out of the foreign horde and get local rates on tickets and accomodation. If it's Poland, nope.Quote:

Tough on Estonia, that was a cruel experience for them.
Does anyone else thing Hunt learned a lesson from the weekend? He was clipped by the Wigan keeper when clean through, and elected to stay on his feet, so no penalty. Wigan went straight down the other end and scored, tonight he again was clipped and made sure to hit the deck!
Yep, Andrews very good. Right up for it. Feel a bit for Estonia but, hey...
I think there's justifiable cause to nit pick despite the outcome but I still have this recurring thought: we are very adept at taking the lead in these kind of games. From then on Trap says "we're ahead, it's up to you now". Others might say it's time to press on, but I think there's just cause for saying "Trap knows". He just ****ing does.
Q: Is this our biggest ever away competitive win?
There is a god after all,jeez i'm off to mass on Sunday.Amazing stuff tonight,the tears did well up but i blame the gin ;)
Well done Ireland,wuv you <3
Trap out!
Biggest since Cyprus in 2001.Quote:

Can't agree with MOTM!!!! Great night,loved the Louis Walsh moment from TRapp!
It was a Walters moment.
Trap was going through the team members one by one, "Given, Dunne, Doc, Whelan, Andrews, Duff, McGeady, Keane and Walters ah Waalterrrs , Walters …. as his voice trailed off to unspoken proud emotions.
24/3/01 I think. My stag day! Met a very nice girl from Finland in a night club called Angels I think. Very friendly, showed me lots of things and I didn't even ask.Quote:

Out of interest if the players on yellow cards tonight get booked on Tuesday, are they out of the first group game?
I'm guessing the answer is yes!
Come on Charlie, change the record. He's after leading us to the promised land. Let's give him another 2 yrs, and re-assess again when the time comesQuote:

Dare I say it but just delighted fr us lot who have defended trap on here over the last few yrs. Yes its not pretty or even entertaining but you know what its not just luck that we are so organised and concede so little. His motto I'd first don't lose and I am delighted for this team, particularly the likes of Shay, Dunne, Keane and duffer, so much pain but at last so much joy.
Now please finish the job n Tues, lets party and then so much to look forward to.......the draw, the build up, the friendlies, the injuries scares etc hell even the DVD that will be out at Xmas. The happy days are, almost, back.
Thank you trap
I think he was 'saving it for the big one'. ;)Quote:

Actually I think the score was 0-0 for wolves at the time of the incident so it would have been a game changer, however there is also the
chance he got booked for diving perhaps. I was quite surprise he did not try and get a penalty thought I think 90% of players would have.
There was someone here who backed Sledge to score anytime (at 15/1?), must have been cursing Robbie for just getting there ahead of him, to slot home that rebound.
That was ****ing awesome. We were all coming out of the bars celebrating here. Cabbies were beeping, its veterans day, a group of Marines were like what the **** are you guys so happy about? It was terrific. Cant ****ing wait for this summer. The Irish bartenders were in rare form.
Im going to bed and its not even 7 pm.
Hope we have a healthy team at the end of the season and we can play with house money, get over looked, sneak up on teams and do some damage. Why not?
4 nil!!! I felt like I was going to go blind or something.
I wrote this aul' article here. If any of you could "like" it on facebook or just read it, it would make me look good! Come on you boys in green!

Halfway through the tie and Trap is in tears.
What a night.
You could argue that that was not a 'completive' match Cyprus were a minnow in the group (as were Estonia at the time) they both only got 8 points and were regularly thrashed. Cyprus were ranked about 82 at the time, mind you Estonia are only ranked 59th so they did extremely well to get to the play-offs and we did even better in drawing them.Quote:
