More conflict over there. Balls. Thought the Caucasus was relatively peaceful these days, besides Chechnya.
As for Ireland, it reminds me of the situation in 99 - a lot of games were rearranged because of the Kosovo conflict, and Croatia, Yugoslavia and Macedonia being in our group. If this conflict isn't resolved soon, I can see the game being put back, or even played on neutral territory (á la Israel playing games in Cyprus a few years ago).
So, any suggestions for a neutral venue, if it comes to that? Windsor Park or Millennium Stadium perhaps?!
