We play Armenia at home and Andorra away so all in our own hands. Are Armenia the new Brazil ?

Nah. Tonight's their All Ireland.

3-0 to Armenia. What happened to the Slovaks?

0-3 now !!!

Robbie Keane must have brought the Slovaks to Copper Face Jacks after the game the other night.
Still hungover...

Looked like Pavlyuchenko was asking Robbie Keane at final whistle earlier if he fancied a run at a few Russian chicks afterwards. Our captain kept shaking his head saying that he had t make it back to The Plazza.

Great result for Ireland either way as it removes the possibility of a 3 way tie. If Ireland win their final two games now there is even a chance they could top the group if the Slovaks beat Russia at home which is very possible.

They've scored 3 goals, can't be football. Although Slovakia are no Donegal.

How does qualification work? 16 teams qualify, 8 groups top 8, all the 2nds is 8 aswell why is there play offs? Is there best runners up?

The Armenians are 4 up now. Magnificent news from Bratislava. I think Wales might have given them a similarly spanking in the the Euro 2008 qualifiers.

The key match now is Slovakia v Russia. We'll presume Ireland beat Andorra that night.

If Russia win or draw - a point at home to Armenia will secure a play off berth

If Slovakia beat Russia - two Ireland victories would put them top of the group and therefore through automatically.

Host nations take 2 of the spots, so there must be some class of playoff type thing.

Armenia back in the running now and the last game between them and Ireland will have a lot hanging on it.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

The Slovakia V Russia game kicks off at 20.15 and our game against Andorra kicks off at 21.30 hope to watch both.

Is anyone seriously suggesting slovakia will beat russia when russia only need a draw against them. Slovakia are a s*** team.
