Republic of Ireland thread

First topic message reminder :

So this week sees the start of the euro qualifiers.

We start with an away game to Georgia.

Will be very tough for us to qualify.

If we can get 6 points, which will be the target from our first 2 games( Gibraltar h after Georgia). will be good.

Then we have world champions Germany a, can write them off as 2 defeats.

Scotland will be interesting to play, they have picked up a bit.

Poland will be tricky.

Hate to say it, but cant see us making it, but one thing is for sure we will give it a hell of a go.
Also with the great Irish support behind the boys, we may surprise a few.

So C'MON YOU BOYS IN GREEN. Leprechaun

What a performance last night personally I thought Christie was man of the match for Ireland, great day for the pub on Sunday with Ireland playing rugby & football. C'mon Ireland!!!

by President Trump Fri 09 Oct 2015, 9:47 am

Unbelievable match, the Germans had all the chances but we just needed one, cracking finish by Long, Walters is becoming a favorite of mine he works his balls off but the whole team were heroes lastnight

by Basset Fri 09 Oct 2015, 10:18 am

Great team performance we have really have improved as the group has gone on, Walters is brilliant he never lets the side down the guy runs himself into the ground, the crowd in the aviva was something else too, would be magical if we could qualify automatically on Sunday after we thought a play off was our best hope

by SecretFly Fri 09 Oct 2015, 11:45 am

It's no coincidence that on the day Blatter gets stripped of his power, Ireland start winning big again! That lad has been holding us back for years (France Whistle

)

by westisbest Sun 11 Oct 2015, 10:39 am

Fancy us to qualify tonight.

Will be tough. Fk it, why not.

C'mon you boys in green

by Basset Sun 11 Oct 2015, 2:55 pm

Would be great if we qualify tonight have a good feeling that we can do it!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 11 Oct 2015, 6:47 pm

Hoolahan dropped for Glenn Whelan.

Jesus wept

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 11 Oct 2015, 9:06 pm

Imagine not bringing on wessi already

by westisbest Sun 11 Oct 2015, 9:15 pm

He is coming on.

Calm down olly, he is not messi

Imagine if he played for Ipswich Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 11 Oct 2015, 9:19 pm

Hey even I appreciate Ipswich players - I called for Daryl Murphy to play last year Smile

by westisbest Sun 11 Oct 2015, 9:40 pm

Frak O'Shea, Walters. Stupid.

Play offs it is.

Still confident we can make it.

Not over yet.

Disappointing all the same.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 11 Oct 2015, 9:56 pm

How can you be so good against Germany but so disappointing tonight westi.

Huge missed opportunity, Poland were there for the taking

by westisbest Sun 11 Oct 2015, 10:00 pm

Some silly mistakes.

Gonna be tough in play offs.

Be interesting to see who we get.

Would have taken that a few games ago.

by President Trump Mon 12 Oct 2015, 10:15 am

Terrible game all round really

O'Shea was muck all match lucky not to give a peno or two away climbing all over that Poopie hawk Lewandowski (Who should have been booked a few times the diving pr1ck) but to the play offs we go, when is the draw?

by westisbest Mon 12 Oct 2015, 6:01 pm

Draw is sunday i believe.

Dont think we are any worse, certainly not much worse than the teams that will be in the play offs.

Our never say die attitude will certainly be a factor.

Will be tough as i said, but have to be at least fairly confident.

by Steffan Mon 12 Oct 2015, 8:40 pm

Hope you lot get there. Be great to have Ireland there and a shame Scotland didn't make it also although I would have rather you lot made out out of the two of you from this group. Good luck from sunny Wales thumbsup

by President Trump Wed 14 Oct 2015, 1:16 pm

Out of the 4 possible teams, Hungary would have to be the best we would want and probably Bosnia, Sweden and Ukraine are defiantly the toughest and we will more than likely get one of those Very Happy

by Nico the gman Wed 14 Oct 2015, 8:14 pm

As an Englishman I will be cheering ROI on in the playoffs, lots of Irish friends, and the Irish will show France how to party.

by Steffan Fri 16 Oct 2015, 5:45 pm

Really hope you guys get there would be great to have another nation from the Isles to cheer on guinness

by Guest Sun 18 Oct 2015, 10:53 am

Bosnia vs Ireland

by Guest Sun 18 Oct 2015, 11:14 am

Full Draw

Ukraine vs Slovenia
Sweden vs Denmark
Bosnia vs Republic of Ireland
Norway vs Hungary

by westisbest Tue 20 Oct 2015, 9:11 pm

Tough test.

Think Long is out for for both legs.

Walters misses first leg, O Shea out.

by President Trump Thu 12 Nov 2015, 3:40 pm

So with all the injuries and suspensions, what are our hopes in qualifying, we really need at least a draw on Friday with any hope

by westisbest Thu 12 Nov 2015, 10:27 pm

I see Lufthansa have cancelled all flights to Germany(where some irish fans, brother and some mates, were going, where they were flying onto Bosnia).

Bad stuff.

Onto the match, think draw maybe best possibility tomorrow.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 12 Nov 2015, 10:55 pm

Wessi's time to shine!

by westisbest Fri 13 Nov 2015, 9:26 pm

Get in. Good man Brady.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 13 Nov 2015, 9:27 pm

THE NODGE LEAD IRELAND TO GLORY

by westisbest Fri 13 Nov 2015, 9:29 pm

Sh1t.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 13 Nov 2015, 9:32 pm

Oh dear

by westisbest Fri 13 Nov 2015, 9:41 pm

Shame we couldn't hold on.
Least we got the away goal, needed that.

Clean sheet and we are through.

Hopefully Longy back for monday.

Confident we can qualify.

by Steffan Fri 13 Nov 2015, 9:45 pm

Not a bad result. Hope you can seal it now in the home game

Be nice to have a few drinks with the Irish next year in France guinness

by SecretFly Fri 13 Nov 2015, 10:48 pm

Caught in two moods.

Yeah, it would be nice to get through ....but.... do the team ever play anything close to being good enough to compete in France? It's not good enough to just turn up for a party. You have to have a certain ambition to do something. Right now, it's so much defending game by game that it's painful to watch.

If we made it to France I'd hope we have more to offer than pain and constant nail biting.

by Steffan Fri 13 Nov 2015, 10:51 pm

Well England are going to win Euro 2016 anyway so we are all there just to make up the numbers...

Its gonna be a good tournament I reckon though so you may as well win your next match and join us Welsh Smile

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 13 Nov 2015, 10:52 pm

I swear to god I'm gonna find you on the Recipes section of this forum sooner or later somehow shoehorning Wales' Euros qualification into another thread!

The thread will be called...'How to make Welsh cakes'

by westisbest Fri 13 Nov 2015, 11:18 pm

I hope we make it.

If we can Keep players fit, We may well give teams a go.

We have a never say die attitude, which we have shown this campaign.

We don't have a great squad, but with the right attitude, we can be tough to break down.

Looking forward to mondays game.
Hopefully we can do it.

by Ent Sat 14 Nov 2015, 2:49 am

Such a poty we couldn't get the 1-0.

Expect Bosnia to turn us over at home.

O'neill os a great manager but you can't Polish a turd.

Yes Steffan us England fans think we'll win Euro 2016, then we kick off and then reality hits us and we realise like most major tournaments we play in that we just ain't that good, but the beer still goes down well.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Nov 2015, 8:16 pm

Wessi with a magic flick to Murphy for the penalty

by Fernando Mon 16 Nov 2015, 8:30 pm

Such a joke penalty Laugh

I doubt the irish will calling for a rematch due to fair play now it's gone their way for once Whistle

by Hoggy_Bear Mon 16 Nov 2015, 8:43 pm

Never a penalty in a million years. Do love the fact that both the Irish commentators thought it was a stonewaller. No bias there then? I wonder what they'd have said if it had been the other way?

by SecretFly Mon 16 Nov 2015, 8:46 pm

Well considering you spent months complaining over a handball it's kinda ironic that you won't about this one since in your favour Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Nov 2015, 9:00 pm

Wes off, Jeff Hendrick still on. Lolz

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Nov 2015, 9:05 pm

James McClean already booked. His fault for the Bosnian goal Friday, looks vulnerable already

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Nov 2015, 9:14 pm

JONNY WALTERS!!!!!!

? Okay. We'll agree to complain about the handball that wasn't if Blatter finally gives us the replay for the Hand of Henry. Wink

Blatter??? Blatter, are you there? He's not answering the phone, basterde!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 16 Nov 2015, 9:44 pm

Wessi at an international tournament - what a time to be alive

I may find myself supporting Ireland come June 16

by spencerclarke Mon 16 Nov 2015, 9:55 pm

Well done ROI! Great news. :-)

by westisbest Mon 16 Nov 2015, 10:02 pm

Bit of luck at times tonight, but fk it we are there.

Great passion over the whole qualifiers.
Never say die attitude. Can enjoy it now and look forward to who we get.

Fantastic stuff.
