I just about see an "Ultonia" ranked 43rd.

Yeah, that'll be it, though as pointed out continuously elsewhere, 'Ulaidh' is not just the North and who in their right mind uses Latin to describe anything anyway, FFS...

**BonnieShels** · 18/08/2014, 1:18 PM

Indeed... Far from Hibernia we were raised...

To the best of my knowledge, only Papa Franciscus and his adoring faithful.

Probably the only thing GR & The Holy Father will ever have in common. An implausible use of Latin...

**swinfordfc** · 08/09/2014, 10:24 PM

So are we slowly on the up ...... ?

**Charlie Darwin** · 08/09/2014, 10:27 PM

Our September results in recent years have been poor so I'd expect we'll get a pretty decent bump from this.

**DannyInvincible** · 08/09/2014, 10:59 PM

We shouldn't get too complacent though. Gibraltar usually come good round October.

This site is usually pretty accurate.

It has us jumping to no. 54. My quick calcs have us coming in around 56th but there are still games to play.
Wales and Scotland will be somewhere between 27-29th. England up a couple of places to 18th.
Northern Ireland big movers back close to 70th.

Hmmm....... just below Iceland now with a game to go this evening, if we don't win that game then we will have to suffer the ignominy of being overtaken in the rankings by the hoofers from Ireland.

I had to double check that this remark didn't come from Gather Round

I dont think so after tonight Iceland win .......

**geysir** · 10/09/2014, 12:11 AM

Yep... Iceland went into warp drive this evening to leap well ahead of the 3rd raters.
There was an old law in Iceland (only repealed in the 1970's), that it was okay to kill a Turk.
Still hold true though in some respects, their football teams just get hammered here.

Morning and congratulations to all

Just a slight correction to A/Bhoy above, I started my primary education with the Ursuline Sisters and was briefly a mention of the Legion of Mary in Dublin.

**Closed Account** · 10/09/2014, 11:26 AM

58th the latest prediction
Wales/Scotland joint 29th
England 18th
Northern Ireland 71st

We take that ..... better then down in the 70's ...... how the hell are Wales at 29th?

**paul_oshea** · 10/09/2014, 1:25 PM

Wales have some midfield, they have 6 or 7 players that would definitely be in our team. They are way underacheiving and this should be their golden era. Last night the pitch didnt help them at all but they should be looking at Coleman and asking questions.
