crazy make it up as you go rules if you ask me.

fans who have begged, borrowed and stolen to go away over a large number of years but cant go as much now due to changed circumstances should be in with equal chance to those who have only started going regularly over the last campaign or two. the allocation of tickets to travellers this campaign without confirmation that they were actually going is plain unbelievable really

In the absence of a travel club then using only this campaign is far enough imo. I think it shows the need for one.

Part of the issue is people getting tickets through different people and getting tickets in the country. a lot of that goes on. The FAI can't know who they were even if they gott he tickets from the officials out there. Loads didn't pay the Macedonian price for away end tickets (20 euros I think) , waited until they got out and paid 1.60 euros. Seemed a smart move at the time and they got in the away end but they obviously didn't get credit for travelling. I always buy my tickets direct from the FAI.

I think it shows the need for a travel club.

Gary,
I totally agree that anyone who hasn't been to an away match this campaign doesn't deserve anything, but these are fellas and ladies (from your own area funnily enough) who have been in Zilina, Skopje, and Andorra. I would say they are in a minority. Where they got their ticket from (providing its in the away allocation) should be irrelevant. TI dunno if it exists but there should be a system where you can logon to a database and enter the ticket details of the stub from the relevant match and build up credit as a result.

I can't agree with that! How long is a piece of string? How regular is "Regular"? Every second away game? 2 out of 3? If it's a straight choice between me (who has gone to 30 games over the past 20 years but hasn't been to a game in the last 2 years, or Bill beside me who has gone to all games in the last two campaigns, then that's a no-brainer.

Can anyone who has a ticket in hand describe what they look like and if they have a hologram, what colour they are etc ?

I think a few of us on the list will end up having to buy some outside the ground, so any info could help prevent us being sold duds / fakes.

Lads, it's not the European Championship final. It's the first-leg of a play-off, in a remote freezing cold outpost. The team will do a professional job out there against those lucky upstarts, so everyone will get to see the tie decided here, and have a big celebration in front of our own fans.

Estonia are there on merit, to be fair. So let's not sound too smug...

Estonia are here because Serbia and Slovenia couldn't overtake them on the last night. This team lost to the Faeroe Islands you know. We will beat them comfortably.

Ya like shamrock rovers can score 3 at home against copenhagen.

I know. But this is Ireland. And under Trap. We should win, but comfortably, no chance.

Mainly yellow with a reddish-orange border. No discernible watermark/holgoram I can see.
And perforations on ends start about 40% down ends of tickets.

Also small dot in bottom centre, near to Estonian Air logo...
