Ireland vs Moldova & Wales v Ireland - World Cup Qualifiers 06/10/2017 & 09/10/2017

Randolph:
Christie, Duffy, Clark, Ward;
Meyler;
Hendrick, Brady;
Hoolahan, Murphy, McClean.

McGeady for Hoolahan and I’d be happy with that side.

Not that he was ever going to do it, but there’s no chance O’Neill plays two up top now that we just need to win. He probably won’t play Wes either.

We’re going to beat the Welsh and then draw Norn Ireland in the playoffs. I can feel it in my bones.

Please let this happen. Please.

Are those cunts seeded???

As it stands they would be fourth seeds if we finished 2nd and all other teams in the table stayed as is. The rankings have to be updated again before the draw though and obviously a few teams may change in the table. They are ranked 20th in the World at the minute :neutral_face:
@Sidney now that the permutations have simplified your next project can be to work out who’ll be seeded.

Agree . John Delaney is again to be applauded in granting MON a contact on Thursday last . He recognised that MON is a lucky general .

Not a hope in fuckin hell would any sporting body allow that to happen,they would sooner hold a tri nations in Albania with Bosnia,Croatia and Serbia taking part.In short that draw would be fixed to avoid any trouble.

Nonsense.

That win in Austria was our first win away to a side ranked above us in something like 30 years. Asking an awful lot to repeat that in the same campaign, against the top seeds.

The stars seem to be aligning. Scotland beating Slovakia late on before slippping up in Slovenia, Bale being injured etc.

I just don’t think we are good enough sadly. Had so many chances to take control of this group and messed up time after time.

Wales 1 Ireland 0. :sweat:

You think be no trouble?? Up there? Their lot would not start shit?

Italy need to win tonight to be seeded. Denmark have moved ahead of Italy unless they win so presumably they’ll also be ahead of the O6 who have suffered two straight defeats.

Wales are shit mate. We are too, but they are nothing to fear. Especially without Bale. Two teams of journeymen pros. The fact that a draw won’t do suits us IMO. O’Neill is a poxy bastard of a manager as well

Wales are 13th in the World. Were we to beat them tonight we’d surely get a decent bump?

Depends on other results. As it stands should Ireland win you would expect Italy, Denmark, Croatia/Iceland/Ukraine and Portugal/Switzerland will occupy the top seeds.

Wales winning probably means Italy need a win to be seeded. It’s very unlikely the O6 will be seeded.

Shane Long is OUT
