Final Euro 2012 qualifiers

Bosnia are a very well organised team and for me would be a bigger worry then turkey. Be hoping for Estonia or Montenegro, we could beat them as long as Andrews is injured so trap is forced to play mccarthy

why doesn't Trap play Seamus Coleman, James Mccarthy and Shane Long more ?

They should all be starters in my opinion

Ireland is not seeded. Check at uefa.com. Possible oponents are Croatia, Portugal, Turkey or Czech republic.

Ireland got Estonia! That draw wasn't fixed at all

 

[Marty]

The luck of the Irish, eh :wink:

Ireland - Estonia
Turkey - Croatia
Bosnia - Portugal
Czech Rep - Montenegro

All the other three should be very close and interesting games. Bosnia impressed me against France.

FIFA still compensating us on the quiet. Surely we can do it for only our second ever Euros? ray:

Good point! Might set my sights on Dublin all the same

If the Turkey - Croatia game is anything to go by from the 2008 euros it should be a epic.

 

[Partizan]

I hope Croatia get their revenge, as I wanna see them at the euros.

I hope so too, but its gonna be a hell of a game. I can only hope that Turkey play like they played against Azerbaidschan.

Turkey and Bosnia were the 2 teams I was hoping to avoid, Turkey cause I rate them and Bosnia cause thats where Im from and I want both Croatia and Bosnia to play at the Euros.

 

[CaptainCat]

It's the best draw for us, but Estonia will probably be thinking that too.

And myself and the wife are booked for a whirlwind first trip to the Aviva! :dance:

I take it that means Ireland can only be in pot 4 ?

Yup, but getting to the Euros would hopefully give us a higher seeding in future qualifying groups. We always get shafted as we're pot 3 in qualifying all the time, rightly so because we're not very good but it would be nice to get into pot 2 for a change.

Seriously, Ryanair could write the Big Book of Being a ****. We booked flights last night, the price of which managed to rise during the booking time due to an error on their site. We were supposed to arrive in Dublin at 15.30 giving ample time to sort ourselves out ready for the game. But some **** at Ryanair noticed that two of their passengers were not being put through the ringer and have changed the flight to arrive in Dublin at 18.50 giving us less than an hour to get off the plane and into our seats in the ground. I swear they hire people whose sole objective is to piss people off.

I used to fly with them occasionally to Denmark (they were the only ones that flew from Stansted to near my home town). Never had any problems with them. Have they really gotten that bad?

If they change a booking by 3 hours or more you're entitled to a full refund. They quadroupled prices on flights to Estonia as soon as the draw was made, then announced additional flights today. Can't see why, Ireland will only get 1,400 tickets. There is going to be a lot of disappointed punters!
