I think they're jumping the gun there, or else it's just a typo. No confirmation anywhere else, including wiki and uefa.com.

I think the reaction to Delaney is way over the top. Jesus like the man is having a bit of a laugh at something the guy next to him said. Nearly everybody has a little giggle when their tie is announced at every draw, whether it's good or bad. I'd certainly take no notice if it was his Estonian counterpart.

Hm. Possibly all quoting the same FAI press release, but I'm getting onto shakier ground by the link!

keep checking uefa.com, sky sports, rte, fai, etc. can't believe the draw. If I made the draw, it wouldn't have come our better for us!
As for Estonia being happy they drew us, every team in the lower seeds was looking for us so it's to be expected

An Estonian fan there in the background too. I wonder how many they'll be bringing to Dublin..

It's google translated, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Extra seats is still extra seats! Looks like they're upping capacity to 12,000. There'll presumably be massive interest in this game in Estonia.

'Raffle move' should now be the official names of the play-off draw.

Good luck Estonia but you haven't a hope.

And anyone who doesn't think that having the Republic qualify for a tournament.....right now..isn't a bad thing for OWC, isn't looking at the big picture.

What a bunch of dicks we are, and what a disgrace those 2 performances against Estonia were. Look what we have done!!

When, not if, the thieves qualify every half decent but non England squad English players who's granny has had a pint if Guinness will be jumping on the bandwagon. Should a couple of Kevin nolans etc come on board the chances of a young teenager from Derry ever making the Mexican team is greatly reduced thus perhaps swaying them back to the good side.

Any more of these? They are absolutely priceless.

Who cares? Why even bother quoting those bitter, twisted pieces of garbage. All it highlights for me is how terrible the soccer supporters are up there compared to the rugby fans, some real gents support Ulster. Seem to be a pile of utter ****s who support NI soccer.

In retrospect looking at this group for the 2010 qualifiers, what a hellish group it was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FI...3_UEFA_Group_5

All 6 of those teams were in a potential qualifying position into the last day. 1 is qualified and 3 are in the playoffs. Led to a lot of those teams being underrated and underseeded coming into this campaign as we found out with Armenia.
