slovenia always use the garryowen to great effect
seedings confirmed http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro2012/new...euro+play+draw
were in the top 4 thank f^*
Estonia. We will not be able for anyone else. Bosnia, Turkey and Montenegro are all better footballing sides and would pass our dark ages formation off the park. So please, God of football, if your up there, Estonia please.
The Beautiful Game
Actually been looking into it. Montenegro & Turkey are both handy sides, but not unbeatable.
In our case, it's more about which Ireland turns up...
The one that can't string 2 passes together and grinds out results, or the one that can't string 2 passes together and doesn't?
We only have the one gear my friend. Lump it forward and play ugly. It's against everything I love about the beautiful game, but do you know what? I don't care once we qualify.Originally Posted by ArdeeBhoy

Usual pessimism is rife in here. And it's understandable.
I don't think it matters who we get in the Playoffs, if we're not capable of beating any of those sides, then we shouldn't be going to Euro 2012. I don't think the players will be particularly intimidated by any of them and that's all that matters.
That was some free.
We drew with Montenegro twice in the last campaign and they have been beaten by Wales & the Swiss this time around. What is so frightening about them?
Get an away goal and draw in Turkey & we'll be fine.
Estonia? If we can't grind out a result against them then we don't deserve a spot in the finals.
Bosnia. Tricky but again I'd prefer them to Portugal & Croatia.
i was sure i read that the seeded team would be at home for the second leg. i am a bit miffed - but not surprised - that this seems to have changed.

who would i like to draw? in order of preference:
estonia
montenegro
turkey
bosnia
We've always been away for the second leg or in a neutral venue in my time: Holland (N) one-off match, Belgium (A) second-leg, Turkey (A) second-leg, Iran (A) and France (A). Thankfully we did the business away to Iran in '01.
Having the second leg at home should be a great boost. Whoever we play, if we're the tie alive for the return-leg, it could be an electric night in the Aviva.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
We might, finally, sell it out.
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
would you believe that it was FAI representations after the france play-off that resulted in the change?!!
thats what i heard today
Turkey are the ones I want to avoid. Guus Hiddink is a tactical genius and would have us sussed, not that its hard to do that at all. Also the chances of taking anything away from home against them I reckon would be slim.
Of the rest I think it would be tight, but certainly nothing to be frightened of.
I just know we'll draw Turkey, mark my words.
Wow, I hadn't seen or heard about that. what's amazing is the height he put on it. from that distance you'd expect a much lower trajectory. as someone else said it's like a garryowen.
On the play offs, I would give us a 50/50 chance against turkey or Bosnia (there's a good article in the guardian today about how they may struggle to motivate themselves for a playoff after coming so close to first place.)
Montenegro feel like an over rated team, I would rate Armenia ahead of them.
Finally Estonia look like the easy draw and their results against faroes seem weak. would any of the Norn Iron fans like to tear themselves away from the 150 page black hole that us the eligibility thread to give us their views?
If you go to 1:00 in the video you can see the crazy, crazy spin that's on the ball as it descends upon the 'keeper.
