Road to Nowhere 2018

@croppy already planning his trips to Wembley and Hampden

UEFA decide them - think they’ll release them tomorrow.

That’s a pity because John Delaney would negotiate a very favourable fixture schedule for us.

No doubt he’ll get us a significant compensation payment in lieu of our right to choose our own fixtures.

Serbia are U-20 WORLD champions, just beat none other than Brazil in the final…,

Yes pal. That’s not under 21 which you stated and which is also given far greater emphasis by European sides just like the under 19 as you have to qualify for both.

The World Youth Championships d is the PREMIER underage competition in the world mate. The Brazilians and Argies certainly take it seriously.
The Euro-21s is Mickey Mouse in comparisons.

Bottom line, Serbs are World champs in a soccerball competition that Brazil and Argentina take seriously.

Brazil are useless and Argentina just gone by fucking Chile

Great draw,Serbia are soft cunts,horrible cunts at that.

@obidijus show your face coward.

Serbians only care about Djokovic, Ivanovic and stupid sports that they’re “strong” in such as water-polo and basketball.

And not forgetting the national past time of doing themselves no favours politically.

This is all true. They could be at war over Kosovo by the time the group rolls around and mightn’t even be in the fucking thing.

Fixture schedule:

Useless statistics: March 24, 2017 will be exactly 10 years since Eire played Wales in the first ever association football match at Croke Park.

Sunday June 11, 2017 will be 22 years to the day since Eire lost 3-1 at home to Austria.

The ghost of Tony/Toni Polster.*

*he is still alive as far as I know.

That’s a great draw for us really, we could conceivably qualify from that. It could have been a lot worse. But then again, we can’t beat Scotland, so no, we won’t qualify.

This would be a fantastic draw for any Irish squad up until the last campaign. You need a core spine of lads coming through together from underage like Kerr delivered for us 15 years ago.

Great draw, we still won’t qualify. We’re not good enough at soccer.

Great draw for other us. France, Holland and Sweden coming here will be a boon for the struggling Luxembourg econ…

Never mind :laughing:

Argentina v Brazil kicking off in just under an hour’s time at Buenos Aires’s Monumental Stadium in a monumental World Cup qualification match.

A Messi-less Argentina have only taken one point from the opening six.

Arg v Bra cancelled due to torrential rain.
