    Republic of Ireland V Gibraltar - Saturday, 11th October 2014 - Euro 2016 Qualifier

    How many will turn up for this match?...........................10,000+ would be a good crowd............!

    Anything less than a 4-0 win would be an embarrassment!

    I wonder will many be bothered about this one-sided game.....especially as its on TV and if you are travelling from outside Dublin and have to pay €50 for a ticket.

    We got 14,000 in for the Oman game and I'd expect the attendance for this to be quite a bit higher

    I was at the Oman game. Travelled from Belfast and never dreamt about not going. This one is also covered by my season ticket and I'm considering giving it a miss.

    The weather on Saturday will probably be a deciding factor. Thunderstorms are forecast and I'm unlikely to invest 4 hours in a 200 mile round trip through a downfall to witness a mismatch or one of the greatest humiliations in Irish sporting history.

    I think there will be a decent crowd. First competitve game in what seems like an eternity, good amount of publicity around Roy's book. Bought my ticket on ticketmaster today and no sections seemed overly empty. Perhaps they don't release all seats on that though. Here's hoping for a good atmosphere anyway

    Darron Gibson 3-1 Gibraltar? Probably a fair enough prediction! It's always a bit unsettling when you make a serious post, Crosby.

    We won't. Not even I'm that pessimistic. Are they even LOI Premier standard? I doubt it.

    I'm not being pessimistic, we should win comfortably, but anything's possible. My point is that it is very much a real game, whether FIFA recognise it or not. They drew with Slovakia not too long ago and we know how they got on last night.

    Except FIFA supercede UEFA and that Slovakia game was a pointless friendly. The theme park are rubbish and shouldn't be in the tournament, simply because they're not good enough, never mind not ever being a country.

    It's the European Championships so FIFA have jack sh!t to do with it really. They're part of the tournament so whether you agree with it or not is irrelevant. I know it was a friendly but they still got a decent result against reasonably good opposition. San Marino in 2007 wasn't a friendly and we nearly came unstuck, I presume you didn't foresee us taking until the fifth minute of injury time to win that one? Or predict the draw in Vaduz?

    For Gods sake there isn't even the slightest chance we won't win the game. They wont score even, i'm pretty sure of that. We will get at least 3, hopefully a few more.

    For God's sake what? I said we should win comfortably and I'm also 'pretty sure' we will.

    I'm going down with a group. Looking forward to it. This is one of the few competitive games that are relatively stress free so I'm just looking forward to (hopefully) a few goals.
