Bale out of both games.
Thats great news for us. (Not wishing for injuries to other teams players just applies at club level right? )Bale out of both games.
It's been a disaster since we failed to capitalise on Wales being down to 10 men at Lansdowne.How likely is it that we don't get the play off spot, in the unlikely event we win both games?
In previous years I'd be confident and excited but this campaign just hasn't had the feel of one that will end happily. Some very poor performances after a start that should have put us in control. That last set of fixtures were a disaster really
Looks like Group H is what we need to look out for. Bosnia or Greece. At the moment, Bosnia occupy 8th place, Wales are in 9th. Moldova are bottom of our group, so that result is null and void. We have to beat Wales, and hope Bosnia dont win a single game....I think. Greece similarHow likely is it that we don't get the play off spot, in the unlikely event we win both games?

Damn.I don't see Kendrick in the injury list. Does that mean he's available for Friday? We missed him badly in the last game.
Took me a second.Damn.
Yes I think he is available @Tincanalley . so too is Meyler. Anyone but Whelan.I don't see Hendrick in the injury list. Does that mean he's available for Friday? We missed him badly in the last game.
Brady on left long in centre, for Wales game. Mc Carthy could be back also. Moldova game, team looks about right. @Champagne FootballVs Moldova I reckon we'll start with this - with one or two debuts made in last 10 mins of game
Randolph
Christie Duffy Clarke Ward
Hendrick Meyler
Long Hoolahan McGeady
Murphy
Vs Wales I think we'll start with this
Randolph
Christie Duffy Clarke Ward
Meyler Hendrick
Long Brady McClean
Murphy

I think if Scotland beat Slovakia and we win both our games, we should be ok to make the playoffs. It's all unclear at the moment until the first round of games are out of the way.
My fear is Georgia do us the favour and we beat Moldova and draw with wales. Probably wouldn't be enoughLooks like Group H is what we need to look out for. Bosnia or Greece.

At least Wales have to beat us as well - keeps the game really open Monday. Both sides cant go in hoping a draw would be good enough, whatever happens Friday. Awful end to our campaign.My fear is Georgia do us the favour and we beat Moldova and draw with wales. Probably wouldn't be enough
Wes(ley)'s theory is if Long's got us, we gonna be alright.
Touché. You just killed my vibe.
I was in school with Darren and Andy played for the same schoolboys club as I did.I was going through our squads for the last few years. Jesus we've had some shocking footballers get a decent amount of caps for us haven't we?
Darren O'Dea with 20. Andy Keogh with 30. That's not even mentioning the chances with <5 caps.
Getting such shit players to get so many caps evidently. I don't blame him, clearly your fault. Connections like that aren't coincidental.I was in school with Darren and Andy played for the same schoolboys club as I did.
What have you got against me
That's fair.Getting such shit players to get so many caps evidently. I don't blame him, clearly your fault. Connections like that aren't coincidental.
My condolences. At least I've Robbie Brady as a claim to fame.I was in school with Darren and Andy played for the same schoolboys club as I did.

Wales result means nothing. We needed to win both games regardlessNo need to worry about the Wales game lads, we'll prob draw with Moldova and that'll be the end of that
He isn’t awful imoShane Long. 1 goal in 42 games for club and country.
When does a player get dropped? You throw anyone in for him at this point.
An awful player.
He isn't after a new contract, he's signed a new contract, just yesterday I think.We'd be joint top if we'd won that match in Tbilisi.
Read yesterday that Martin O'Neill is after a new contract. If we miss out on 2nd place he should be made publicly explain his negative, cowardly tactics in that match before he gets so much as an interview.
Sending out a side to park the bus and lump the ball up the field against the side ranked 112th in the world.
Jaysus they didn't hang about. I read an article at about 9am saying O'Neill was looking for a new deal and then by half 6 that evening, he's got a new one and signed it.He isn't after a new contract, he's signed a new contract, just yesterday I think.

He already signed a new contract. Why, who would you have brought in??We'd be joint top if we'd won that match in Tbilisi.

Yep. At the press conference he was saying he was optimistic of a deal. No bloody wonder.Jaysus they didn't hang about. I read an article at about 9am saying O'Neill was looking for a new deal and then by half 6 that evening, he's got a new one and signed it.
No one necessarily - I don't think we're the most attractive gig in world football.He already signed a new contract. Why, who would you have brought in??
I think he would have been a decent buy for Everton who lack goals and pace.I had hoped he would have moved on from Southampton in the summer
