    At least we're at some tournament in the summer. I quite fancy a trip to Turkey now.
    My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.

    Delighted for them. Hopefully RTE will give it good coverage during the summer. With Portugal and Germany and Greece in the group its some job to qualify.

    great news and some real hope for the future in that team. Good stuff. Well done boys.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Well done to the lads. Great achievement considering only one team gets through and having to play against strong opposition.

    Did McCarthy and Scannell play in the earlier qualifying games? If so I'd say they will be selected.

    According to the regulations - http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/384243.pdf -
    Players are eligible to play in the 2007/08 UEFA European Under-17 Championships if they were born on or after 1 January 1991
    Scannell's birthday is 17 September 1990 and McCarthy's birthday is the 12 November 1990 so neither are eligible

    Brilliant stuff, was talking to one of the lads playing there. He said McCafferty turned round and said to them with two minutes left, "Hold it out now lads and we're off to Turkey in May!" unreal

    Great news. Fair play to them. Do us proud lads.
    I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

    Couldn't get to the Ireland-Greece game but after seeing Germany-Greece
    last night I dont know how they beat us.

    Greece were quite poor and even before the had the 2 lads sent off
    (Germans had 1 sent off) they were resorting to hoofing the ball.
    Germans looked quite good. Very composed on the ball.

    Great to get the result in Galway and qualify.

    Well done to all the lads! They played 4-5-1 again and never panicked. Both goals came from set pieces with 2 surperb deliveries. Once they went in front they defended the lead very well limiting Portugal to just one real chance. Greg Cunningham was very impressive upfront and caused all sorts of problems for back 4. Roll on Turkey!!

    Brilliant achievement to qualify from such an imopressive group.
    The results that some of our underage teams have taken in the last decade have been outstanding.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
