Bulgaria away in June will be fairly warmish I'm guessing!

those fixtures decide it basically for us, before them points mean nothing. Afterwards, we will know if we are going to qualify or not or should do avoiding a stupid slip-up thereafter.
at least our last 2 games are at home, so its in our hands from that point of view.

And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Paul we could be out of it by game 3! Those two first away games look intimidating.

We'll need to get points on the board early, 4 of the last 6 games are against Bulgaria and Italy with an away trip to Cyprus thrown in and all.....
Would've sooner had Italy last game, they may need something from us in the second last one.
Given that we had to play our first 2 games away, they're the two most people would have gone for.
Then with 3 games at home it's a real chance to actually hit the ground running.
Any points at all in Italy will be unexpected so that game on 28th March will be a big one.
I'm a little concerned that Montenegro might be harder to play away early just because of all the fuss and furore about entering a team for the first time etc.
I think if we can remain undefeated and have at least 3 wins in the bag by the time we get to Italy it'll be a good start.
They may need to beat us to stay in it. don't be so sure Italy will top group. don't be surprised if we get the right manager and win the groupOriginally Posted by Drumcondra 69er
What a huge 3 fixtures in a row. We need a minimum of 5 points to have any chance of qualifying....anything less and we're done...

We're a mediocre team - every game is intimidating!
Loads of marginal games there - games that are tough to call, but, let's be positive, they are winnable.
Both the two early away games are winnable, as are the next 3 home games. It's a big big ask, but I hope the new manager dopesn't adopt the conservative "draw away win at home" mentality. Every game is a cup final.
spot on. Scotland lost away to Georgia when they were flying high and, well, Montenegro is just a complete unknown quantity so anything could happen.
Saying that, if we got 6 points from those we would already have a major advantage over our rivals...

I'm not but there's a batter chance they'll have qualified before the last game then the second last, that's the point!
will be a disaster getting from tbilisi to podgorica

From those games? Say we get 4 from Bulgaria and none aginst Italy? Even share the spoils with Bulgaria?
I can see us matching Bulgaria head to head, so maybe nicking a point from Italy could be crucial, but realistically it's maximising points from the lowest seeded teams that'll determine our fate.
I typed the details for the Eastern Europe/Asia double-header into ebookers and the website LAUGHED at me
which would mean that the best we can hope for is a playoff. I don't know I rekon we can do enough to win the group assuming Italy and Bulgaria take points off each other and possibly georgia taking points off bulgaria If we stay un-beaten against the bulgarians and italians (four draws would nearly do it) and win the rest we can qualify directly. I know it's not easy but it is doable, I'm sure we were one of the least favorable 3rd seeds to be drawn with. no one fancies playing us away ,even cyprus
Those fixtures aren't too bad at all. The first three games will be pivotal. If there is a chance we can get maximum points (and the quality in our squad should be able to achieve that) from them we'll be doing exceptionally well.
But this is Ireland so I'm not brimming with confidence.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
