Who indeed?
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
Not sure Bulgaria will be beating those teams away either.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Will never happen, Cork or Limerick don't have a team in the qualifying groups!

Lots of ifs and buts there Tuff Paddy.

Who would want any manager that soils his trousers over a qualifying draw?
CYPRUS smur****intakular

How about Northern Ireland v The Republic of Ireland then?

Initially looking at it I was disappointed but the more i look at it it aint too bad:
Italy will top the group no doubt and I cant see why we cant be fighting along with Bulgaria for 2nd place. Apart from us and Bulgaria you really wouldnt give the other teams a hope of qualifying. Georgia proved to be the nemisis for Scotland but we beat them home and away with Brian Kerr a few years ago. A chance to put the Cyprus results behind us by beating them twice like we are capable of and of all the bottom pool teams Montenegro was the team to avoid so will be tough there can see a slip up or two
But definetly qualifiable!!!!!
I guess the thing now is will we go and try to get Italy either home or away for our first game and hope we catch them with a bit of a hangover after the European championships?
Very insightful. Managers look for what they will be able to achieve in a new job, and an 'easy' group would have made us a more appealing prospect. We will have to improve an unbelievable amount in a short space of time to get out of this group - which makes the job less attractive. Just the way it is.
Yeah, a few new places to check out. I'm probably ready to go back to Cyprus as well, hopefully to hand out a bit of retribution. Playing Italy at home in a competitive game is an enticing prospect. As for the rest, I have never benn to any of those countries so it should be interesting.

In the Euro 2008 qualifiers. Bulgaria's only away loss was to Holland. Won three and drew 2 of the other five. Solid enough.

Italy are often slow starters in qualifying. Often start with a loss or a few draws before getting into top gear half way through and winning all their games down the stretch.
I don't think that venables will even bother looking at the draw, more likely to be the pay check and then demand more...yes, I hate him.

Would like to see first game being at home to Italy. We have generally done well against teams that have just come from WCF or Euros when we play them early.

Yes but would you want a manager that wouldn't take a job just because he didn't fancy a couple of difficult games? I know I wouldn't.
I doubt anyone who's genuinely interested in the job will pull out on account of that draw anyway.
With any kind of manager who knows what he is doing we should get enough points at home to finish in the top two.That would leave it between ourselves and Bulgaria(presuming Italy qualify) to gather the most points from
games in Georgia,Cyprus and Montenegro.
Reasonabale chance of 2nd place in the group. Bulgaria no world beaters.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
The next sentence is "and bamboozle them when they come to Croke Park"
