The North fucked into Group C.
Whats happened lads?
Classic
Mick has probably used up all his luck now .
The Northfield for screwed. Delaney master stroke.
John Delaney happened
Why.?
Can someone explain ?
Are we at war with Germany or something?
You can’t have more than two host countries in one group. Were drawn with Germany and Holland but they are also hosts we got moved to the next group.
Northern Ireland then got drawn with the two heavyweights
Can’t have 3 Euro 2020 hosts in the same group
So who are we in with,
Not Germany and Holland
Denmark, Georgia and Switzerland
Tough pot 4 draw
Switzerland and Denmark. We still won’t get in the top 2. Georgia as well, they’re tricky cunts
Strong pack and excellent front row.
“Georgia will take points off one of the fancied teams” - will be part of detailed analysis
There will only be 5 teams in our group
Don’t want Kosovo
First two groups drawn - Holland and Germany in Group C.
Draw took place for third pot. A and B drawn fine. Obviously we didn’t want to be drawn next in the group with the two heavyweights. Low and behold out we come - gasps of despair in the auditorium. Camera cuts to a smiling Mick McCarthy who has a rueful look on his face.
Then dramatically the draw host says “due to the draw rules we can’t have hosts in the same group so the Republic are moved to Group D.”
Then the North are promptly drawn out next and put into Group C with the Dutch and Germans.
Hopefully Gibraltar or a non eastern block country here
