stupid dreams....

A win and a clean sheet for us.

A coming of age performance for Ward.

Keane to score.

Walters to perform well and propose a selection dilemma with Doyle for the return leg.

McGeady to flatter to deceive.

Fahy to come on for Andrews around the hour mark.

Kelly to have a wobbly game.

**EAFC_rdfl** · 11/11/2011, 9:27 PM

so, mcgeady flattered to deceive?! duff had a stormer though?!

**Bottle of Tonic** · 11/11/2011, 10:04 PM

Ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkin hell. Can't believe that result. I'm nearly 29 years old. Italia 90 as a 7 year old changed my life like many others of a similar age on here. I'm finally going to a major championship(poor student in 2002). Will I be 50 before we get to another? Savour this lads.....

On a more cynical note, this is the first time I've felt the inherent corruption of world football at the highest level go in favour of a team I support. I suspect we pulled the Estonians on the back of the hand of frog embarrassment two years ago (handy fall guys the estonians - no big names) and the ref gave us everything tonight in fairness, even though a lot prob were fouls/cards, as the away team you don't normally get half of them.

But Trap knows the craic. I've been a fan all along. International football at our level is about results. Leave the fancy **** to your EPL dream teams. Trappers knows what he's at and those who will label him 'lucky' just dont understand!

Roll on June 2012!

Yep, if we had 38 games throughout the year to qualify then we can complain about the style. We don't. We have 10 games at crap times of the season. Job nealy done.
