    Its actually all a little low key at the moment, but am sensing anticipation starting to rise in the last day or so. Few people round the office starting to talk about etc. The last few days has been more about the rugger team flying out to NZ (Who cares?!)

    I got asked about tickets today.

    It's rumbling. Once the deadline day circus ends all will be back to normal.

    My Keith Andrews one was obviously too subtle

    Hard to know if they are wrong in that case with that translation. Maybe they are just hoping to repeat the result of their last visit to Ireland.

    For once its not our players flying around on transfer deadline day to get a deal done. Slovakian player Marek Cech was given permission to fly to Turkey today to sign for Trabzonspor from West Brom.

    I'm sure he'll be flying back to meet up with the squad in Dublin but that can't be great preparation for Friday.

    My apologies. My new job means only fleeting access to foot.ie. I missed it completely. Plagiarism accusation accepted. Guilty as charged.

    I'm not sure what they expect of me. Until I find out I'm only flicking in and out of football sites.

    We got a lot of slices of fortune that day, including a couple from the ref. George was remarkably restrained in his reaction to Gary Kelly's red card.

    I think it was one of the most nerve-racking I can remember as we were so under the kosh, especially in the last ten minutes or so, and had been treading an extremely fine line from the very outset. McAteer's goal was completely unexpected. Didn't Holland have about 4 of 5 strikers on the pitch by the end? Crazy.

    It's one of the few Ireland games I never made a move from before the end. We ended up being blocked in the stand for about half an hour because people were very slowly celebrating their way down the steps. Incredible to think it was 10 years ago already. Time flies when you're not qualifying for things.

    Predictions anybody for the double header?

    What would you be happy with points wise?
