You boys must be in a state of frenzy looking forward to the gigantic clash tonight with San Marino. When will fifa learn and eliminate these nothing matches. Some sort of pre qualifying group is required to find the best from the likes of Luxemburg, San Marino, Faroes etc. Cannot imagine what purpose these games serve
You have a point, Eire, but you do realise that we're talking about the team that has held the record for the fastest World Cup goal for almost 20 years now? Think it was in about 8 seconds. england were on the wrong end of it, so I think that entitles them to automatic qualification for life!
Eire, behave yourself. We might actually win this one at a canter.... or maybe there should be a play off between these nothing sides - San Marino, Faroes, RoE - to decide who plays the big boys. Having said all of that, its a big day for sides like San Marino when sides like England come to town. Yes, we'll win & probably by a hatful. But at least San Marino will see whether or not they're making process. More to the point, Woy will get to see what some of his squad players can do & whether or not Rio (SCUM)'s career is now over.
I've got the vodka and Charlie in anything to pass the time whilst this shower of **** is on! I complain everytime but still dont miss a game. I Just like a moan I think
Were in top 40in the world rankings all the time so I doubt if Ireland would be included. Having said that we're ****e anyway
TBF Eire, our form against England hasn't been bad, even the riot game was awarded as a 1.0 win by FIFA...
It wasn't so long ago that Turkey were deemed minnows. Times do change. Especially if you look at how Scotland have fared since the Argentina World Cup. Not so much status quo as down, down (for ye auld farts among us).
Agreed but England have been no great shakes for a long time either. One piece of dubious silverware in their history
Couldn't believe Portugal were odds on at 1/2, draw was good value, although took a very late equaliser. Who else you got?
sure one of these teams is a minnow,which one BBC SPORT | Football | Internationals | Cyprus 5-2 Republic of Ireland news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/5416464.stmOct 7, 2006 â The Republic of Ireland suffer an embarrassing 5-2 defeat against Cyprus in the Euro 2008 qualifier.?
