Bulgaria : what is our best team if available?

[Scram]

Best team if available is: Barcelona

I agree. Who would you pick though?

Féck knows Stutts, whatever would work on the day for us
The big pressure is on the Bulgarians to win.
It's easier for us to get a player in front of midfield when the opposition are down to 10 men
Have Hunt rampaging around at LM and Duff dropping in front of midfield?
If Trap does not rate Foley, then O'Shea at RB - McShane at CM.
Outright ban on hoofballs until Folan comes on.

Just to move away from team selections for the moment, has anybody looked into the best way of getting to Sofia for the game? AerLingus fly direct but times and days don't really suit. Closest major cities are Bucharest and Istanbul and get a train from there but I'd rather fly to main land Europe and catch a connecting flight to Sofia. If anybody has looked into this perhaps you can let me know. Cheers.

Have a look in the fans forum section in the Bulgaria away thread and there's a number of options you can check out.

I'm flying Shannon to Heathrow (cause im from limerick) on the Thursday evening, Heathrow to Sofia on Friday morning and the same route return on Sunday. Costing about €340 for the flight.

Got the Shannon Heathrow flight through Aer Lingus and the Heathrow Sofia flight with British Airways. You could also try wizzair.com who have flights from Britain to Sofia
