I don't have the 1936 game so maybe that wasn't an official game? I have a game we played against Germany and lost 2-1 in 1970-05-09 in Berlin, but no record for Dublin. I need to update my lists!

We'll let you off this time. One more slip though and it'll be a night in the cells with Gerrit.

NI only tried it with abomb.

Just for to clarification, here all matches between Ireland and Germany. Oddly enough it will be the fourth year in a row that Ireland will be playing Germany in October and the fifth time in a row aswell!

Just for added clarification, unofficial but they all count
1972

4 January 1972

Republic of Ireland	3–0	West German Olympic XI [2]
Mick Martin Herrick Fairclough

Did we ever play the East Germans?

I don't think so, probably not catholic enough, like Poland.

The equivalent of an Irish hoodlum being given another suspended sentence after a 173rd conviction for a violent offense.

Disgraceful punishment

Not enuf....they shud thrown out of the competition and given a severe fine

Called it!

Wow David, sheer genius

Funniest post I have read on this forum. ....although I am bit drunk now....so it's probably not that funny.

Definitely jumping the gun on this, but considering we're now in third spot, has anyone looked at the potential opponents?

Holland almost a certainty,
Israel (although Bosnia could pip them),
Ukraine too.
Slovenia
Hungary
Russia or Montenegro (the last match between them in Petersburg is a decider)
Norway
1 from Albania/Portugal/Denmark - a poxy group of the highest order.

I'd expect whoever comes third in that final group will qualify automatically. I'd imagine Holland, Ukraine, Russia will be seeds. I'm not sure if it's possible for us to be seeded, given Hungary and Norway's improvement.

If we're not seeded <shudders>, but even if we were to be seeded, I still wouldn't fancy us, I'd be praying for Israel or for Slovenia to mess up and hope that Estonia or Lithuania can capitalise. Even Hungary.

For their behaviour in the last decade alone they should be severely sanctioned. Football in the Balkans is racist, sectarian, ethnically divided and in real trouble, yet it's very rare to see the London-led media (who guide our own crew) in reporting on it with the same orgasmic delight as even minor incidents in Russia. Mainly because nobody gives a damn about the Balkans, until the next war erupts.

Sad......but true



On a very seperate note.....our new away Jersey.....seemingly....im not feeling it

If proof was ever needed that you don't need to be a strong technical team to have success at international level then the North are it. Yes they have a favourable group with an unprecedented collapse by the first seed but it is still very impressive. Maybe we hired the wrong O'Neill

Just watching Israel and Wales when I noticed this:



Not content with templated jerseys, are there templated national crests now as well?

They've had that for quite a few years now, although it seems they ripped off our design: http://foot.ie/threads/91571-New-Isr...-Seem-Familiar & http://foot.ie/threads/95954-Israeli-FA-rip-off!
