[Moods For Mallards]

I am taking this one for granted!!!

 

[mark]

The Faroe Islands bitches. We should beat them, right guys?

 

[rettucs]

well good draw for sure but no doubt Estonia are thinking the same thing (compared to who else they might have drawn like)

any dates set for these yet?

 

[rettucs]

november 11th and 15th by all accounts

11th for the away game.

Have you seen John Delaney's reaction when the draw was announced.
What an honourable man

Do away goals count??

If so I'm now predicting 0-0 in Estonia followed by 1-1 in the Aviva.

We'll go 1-0 up after about 20mins, Trap will then take off every attacking player on the pitch and ‘park the bus’ to protect the precious one goal lead. The Estonians will then score in the 85th minute through a comedy of errors (possibly an own goal) leaving us with no time or options to go back and claim a winner…..

A Polish lad in work was saying that all the Polish papers are reporting that it's the draw Estonia wanted and they think they have a great chance.

 

[washingcattle]

Of course it's the draw they wanted. The announcer at landsdowne said it was on the 10th. Just sayin.

Heh.. Ireland: "Yes, we got Estonia!!" Estonia: "Yes, we got Ireland!!" Hugs all round.

Must be said, probably the best chance we're ever going to get to come through a playoff. If Trap
himself had been drawing the balls out this is exactly what he would have picked. All about not
getting complacent now and staying focused over 2 legs. We traditionally don't do being favourites
well but over the course of this campaign it's grinding out victories over potentially troublesome sides
ranked lower than us that's got us this far. Estonia are very erratic, lost to the Faroes once and needed
2 injury time goals not to lose to them at home, but beat Serbia and Slovenia away which are results we'd
probably struggle to get. Just don't underestimate the pricks and do your stuff lads. They're going to have
the clip of that goon Delaney laughing at the draw on a loop, that's for sure..

 

[coast to coast]

Of course its the draw they wanted! (he chimed in) The beat Northern Ireland home and away, and we are, probably, the weakest of the top seeds. This is the best Estonia have ever done too. Reckon Serbia's

Poor Bosnia, Portugal in a playoff for the 2nd time in a row. And they were 13 minutes away from beating France and winning their group.

probably time to post this again.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Yeah, I really feel for the Bosnians - that's a major second kick in the balls.

 

[Unicron]

In the event of us getting through this, and I'm reasonably confident of doing so, I wouldn't mind getting a Rooneyless (3 game ban) England in the group phase.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Sure who wouldn't love that?!
England is probably the one team I'd really fancy us against.

I wouldn't have minded us getting a fully Rooney-ied England in a hypothetical sense before all this shit went down. They are fucking shit at tournaments. We are great craic at tournaments. Only one winner there... and its not football.

To be fair, to view our matches, we're the weakest maybe, but our record is pretty damn good on paper, in terms of matches lost and goals conceded. If you were to study the tables you'd think we'd be one of the very strongest.
Anyway, fuck that. Glad I bought my ticket for the Armenia game as it means I get first refusal on a ticket for the 15th...
