Road to Nowhere 2018

Iā€™ll answer this one.

Yes, Slovakia are missing out.

As it stands. Thereā€™s an unlikely sequence of events that involves Greece dropping points to Gibraltar & Bosnia winning against Estonia that would put Slovakia through. But Bosnia are out regardless as they can only get a maximum of 11 points so theyā€™ve nothing to play for and Gibraltar are shit.

Thanks mate. One of my best friends Mam is from Slovakia. Heā€™ll be heartbroken. Hopefully Ireland can qualify to give him a summer to remember.

I find that if youā€™re on a short 2 or 3 day trip itā€™s pretty easy to economise but you have to do your research and be on the ball about booking. I did the Stockholm trip in March 2013 and I found the warnings about the cost exaggerrated. There were a couple of bars in Sodermalm selling pints for the equivalent of ā‚¬4.20 and the food wasnā€™t particularly expensive either.

What was expensive was our train to Vasteras Airport unexpectedly breaking down in a tunnel and having to pay ā‚¬150 on a taxi to get the rest of the way or miss our flight.

I think a lot of former diehards and fair weatherers like myself will be thinking of going to this one. Bosnia in 2015 is the only away play-off in Europe Iā€™ve missed in all the ones Eire have participated in since 1995 inclusive.

Christ Australia are shit. Still 1-1
Iā€™d support Syria only for the damage non-qualification will do to the game here.

On another note, Iā€™d love to go to Copenhagen. Was watching one of those Rick Steim weekend away shows in Copenhagen, it seems like a lovely place with fantastic food. And Danish women are incredible.

Is Tim Cahill nearing a bus pass ?

Do Sky, BT Sport or Eurosport cover the South American qualifiers at al at all these days?

oooh that was close from Rogic

I donā€™t think so pal.

No UK television station covers them.

I find that incredible. Youā€™d think one of the stations would have snapped up the rights even for the final round of fixtures. The rights couldnā€™t be too costly.

Extra time in Sydney.

Very strange. Sky televised them for a large part of the last ten years and theyā€™d roll out their La Liga presenters and commentary teams for it. Theyā€™ve spent so much on holding off BT for EPL rights so it might be impacting their spend elsewhere.

Yes. Heā€™s scored tonight as well our Timmy

Would those Syrian boys be any use at the football?

Theyā€™re not awful. Need to cut out the playacting though. A lot of them going down like theyā€™d been shot.

TIMMMYYYYYYYYYY

A trademark headed goal by Tim Kayhill.

This would be assad end for the Syrians.
