Is there anyone not in this fuckin thing
What time is it on and is it on the box?
Holland and Scotland.
Yes.
Kyle Lafferty’s favoured opponents Brazil and Argentina have failed to qualify. With Holland also failing to qualify, that means three of the four semi-finalists in the 2014 World Cup will not be taking part. Former champions Denmark and Greece have also been eliminated.
In all, three of the past seven winners of the tournament have missed the cut.
Coverage begins on RTE2 TV at 1700 hours today and finishes at 1815 so presumably the draw will take place around 1730.
Go raibh maith agat
Who is going to live blog this for me? Virgin Media box on the blink and RTE Player now working on my phone.
As far as I know I’m the only lazy, layabout cunt with a journalism qualification on this board, so I guess I’m the likely candidate.
Got England, Italy and Hungary in the rehearsal draw.
It’ll be some anti climax if we get Germany and Poland again.
