Scotland picked up 7 points from the 87th minute onwards against Top 5 sides in their group. Ultimately it was the two points that Harry Kane stole off them in the 94th minute that cost them. The home draw against Lithuania (notwithstanding the late salvaging of a point) didn’t help either.

A hape of division 3 plastic paddies hoofing it up to Seamus ‘spud’ Murphy for an hour and a half.
Hopefully the Welsh rub their fucking noses in it.

Eire have to win

3,500 seats allocated to Eire fans. Dire warnings on Morning Ireland for Eire fans who are found outside of the designated Eire section - they’ll be kicked out.

They won’t. Unless they’re waving shoes, in which case I’m fully behind the riot police.

Morning Ireland also reporting that thousands of ticketless Eire soccer types have descended on Cardiff. It’s a Monday. If the government were really serious about clamping down on rampant abuse of the social welfare system, they’d have a crack team of Social Welfare Inspectors on the ground.

Did you see his comments after the game? :smile:

“Genetically we are behind,” he said. "In the last campaign we were the second smallest, apart from Spain.

"We had to pick a team to combat the height and strength at set-plays. Genetically we have to work at things, maybe we get big women and men together and see what we can do.

I know 4 lads gone over this morning. 3 tickets between 4 of them. The one that secured the tickets is going in. The other 3 are having a game of lives on the train to decide who gets a ticket.

2 tickets in the Wales section I think.

Will they be playing standard rules or will it be crazy lives?

He’s a gas man. Touch of humour the only way to deal with such disappointment.
