Man, I'm so fecking jealous. Used to be a time when Scotland were involved in the world cup. Scotland v Wales Anfield play off when Dalglish scored that glancing header, pure fecking hedonism. Archie gemmill, Davie Narey (hero), Ally Mcleod (antihero), Uruguay 0-0, Hansen and Miller v Russia. Those were the salad days.EoinBM wrote:wasn't too bad actually, there were a lot of Welsh people in watching it. Yeah it's one of those 4 - the draw is on Monday..Seen Canary wrote:Hei EoinBM
How did it pan out at Molly's ? Did it live up to your ear bashing expectations or was the craic good ? Shame about the result but it should be a cracking play off whoever you get.
BTW Checked a BBC blog and found out that there is a seeding system based on FIFA rankings so Ireland are likely to face either Portugal, France, Russia or Greece. What do you think your chances are ? Unbelievably I would say that France are the weakest team of the four. Don't underestimate the Greeks.
I still think France are the ones to avoid. I'd prefer to draw Greece or Portugal.. I think we'd have a decent chance against either of them.
I hope the Republic get France and bin them to piss off Platini and the corrupt, rule introducing at the last minute to protect so-called big teams w*ankers that are FIFA. Come on Eire, Slovenia, Bosnia and eeeerrrrrmmmm, got it, Ukraine. Hopefully 2nd leg at Croke Park. I might even venture to Molly's meself if that happens.
BTW, I was called Trappatoni by my team mates back in Scotland because I was absolutely sh*te at headering. So, if the opposing keeper launched a goal kick high into the stratosphere and it was heading straight for me and I had the space and time I would trap the fecker with me right peg. It was actually quite impressive. Trap it (hence the nickname), dead ball, run with it or play through while the opposition stood and marvelled.
Looking forward to Monday and the draw.
Someone got what he asked for, I would also be happy to see Ireland go.
