[The Equaliser]

...only just found out this is tonight, I'd like the Irish to qualify. Amazing they have a chance. Can't understand, though, why Coleman is with the squad. Surely if he has missed so many club games he should have his feet up at home.

Good luck Ireland.

He's "as fit as they come" according to MON. Has trained all week and was training with Everton last week. There's no reason at all for him not to be in the squad.

ROI guaranteed play offs already. guessing to do with hungary

Ahhh FFS, the micks are starting Coleman. That's him out until Christmas.

Thought this same thing.

If Ireland feck Coleman up I'm going to turn all kinds of Roy Keane anger

 

[flibbyflob]

Come on Ireland

What ? Turn up at Cleverleys gaff kicking off ?

I'd swerve that mate, after the robbery like...

It's because they can't be caught for third spot.


I've just seen that Albania have qualified. Stunning.

So are we beleiving the FIFA rankings as being relevant now you're quite high in them then?

Unfortunately, FIFA rankings are relevant.

They aren't correct though, if that's what you're getting at.

....if he was playing for other clubs I suspect he wouldn't have travelled. I really want Ireland to win but I'd prefer Coleman to be at home.

they have one of the worst points totals out of the 3rd place teams don't they? what's the quota on that anyway? i'm guessing it's avg. points per game, or is Group I just top 2 and 3rd place don't even get a sniff?

how many teams in the play offs? 8? because that's every group bar 1.

It's the team from 3rd place with highest number od points that get an automatic qualification. Hungary leadibg right now, but they're can be overtake by Ukraine IF they beat Spain at home tommorow.

Well, that's more likely than I thought. Vamos Espana!!

Ah there's Croatia as well and they play Malta. I really dont know how this works, as they have the same number of matches right now

More likely pull a constipated face and pick on the weakest person in the room..

Not that relevant really.

He's desperate to play. Shouldn't be denied the chance to help get his country to the Euros.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

Coleman starting for RoI.

 

[rascal]

Is Coleman starting?
