If I was part of YBIG, that'd be a great idea.Quote:

I think they're actually talking about the tix for the home game.
Very brief discussion about drawing Bosnia at the end of the Champions League coverage on RTE just now. In summary:
Liam Brady: Not a good draw, was hoping for Hungary. We're up against it.
Ronnie Whelan: Impossible to call, nothing between any of the eight teams in the draw, seeded or non seeded.
Richie Sadlier: The most important thing is that our options aren't reduced further between now and the game. We're already missing O'Shea and Walters, who has had an excellent campaign and even if Long makes it he'll have spent most of his preparation in the treatment room. We don't have the squad to deal with any more injuries.
I'm alright Jack indeed. Moaning about the clubs/ leagues getting their tickets, well what about the load of us who get our ST's and away tickets for donkeys years through the clubs? Now I'm as partial to a good FAI bashing session as the next man but sure they have brought in a similar system to the Welsh that they're moaning about based on a points system of ST's, prev away games attended etc which of course isn't perfect but should on the whole sort out people who put in the time and the miles for games.Quote:

I know that rankings can be taken with a pinch of salt (Wales 8th in the world) but Ukraine are 24, Bosnia 30, Hungary 33 and Sweden 45 (we're 54 stuck between South Korea and Guinea), I am glad we missed Ukraine where I would have rated our chances as about one in three of getting through but with Bosnia I think we have at minimum an even chance, particularly with the 2nd leg at home. I agree with Sadlier, we can ill afford any more injuries. Whelan is talking through his proverbials as I think there is a lot between Ukraine and the others while Brady would be worried if we drew Luxembourgh.Quote:

stay someway on topic Crosby
I think he is using Mexico as a metaphor or Ireland and hurricane as a metaphor for Bosnia.
That's exactly what I thought.
Think I remember hearing that it was Robbie's boyhood dream to play for AS Roma.Quote:

Will be or should be?Quote:

Was wondering the same thing myself.Quote:

Given: Not getting a kick at Stoke but was brought back into the Ireland squad for a reason so isn't going to be dropped at this stage. They'll probably see his experience around the dressing room as important even if he doesn't start, and that's a big IF.
Westwood: By far and away our best performing goalkeeper over the last year and a half.
Randolph: Not surprisingly, Adrian has taken over in goals at West Ham again since returning from his three match suspension. Randolph's game time for us last month will surely keep him in the picture though, especially with the composure he exuded against Germany.
Elliott: Has a massive opportunity at Newcastle with Krul likely to miss the rest of the season, but there probably aren't really enough games to impress between now and Bosnia. I didn't realise he is 29, thought he was early 20's for some reason!
I think the sensible selection would have to be Given, Randolph and Westwood.
I'd imagine O'Neill will be thinking about who he wants to be looking down the bench at in the event of a crisis, and the name he will go for is Given, which leaves 1 from 2.
If Randolph hadn't got on against Germany, he would probably have been the guy missing out. As it is I suspect he is now our number 1.
If Westwood pulls out then you'd nearly be thinking he should be discounted, for whatever reason.
