FAI...New Manager Hunt continues

[Milltown Row2]

Would the republic want to qualify?

[From the Bunker]

The Swiss TV production team seemed to have no interest in showing the Penalty incident. No replay of the incident? Thought it was very strange!

[clarshack]

Switzerland were for the taking in Dublin and also Georgia were at the weekend. Those are the 2 games in which qualification was lost. Norn Iron put up a much better showing against Switzerland for World Cup qualification. Depressing as fcuk.

Would the republic want to qualify?

2 euro games in Dublin and improved seeding for the next campaign if nothing else

[From the Bunker]

Would the republic want to qualify?

The players would.
The hardcore travelling fans would.
The cash strapped FAI would.

If we qualified, you might get 2 to 3 decent granny rule players who might throw their lot in with us.

Any decent player that'd come our way at this stage would be of benefit!

Its a peno alright. Hands in unnatural position. Thought it was a harsh yellow though. Doherty will slot in there though

Yeah it was! Just in modern day Football TV coverage you normally get multiple replays of major incidents. And from different angles and speeds.

Still get another shot. Beat Denmark and hope the Swiss somehow don't draw with Georgia, leaving all 3 on 15.

Don't bet against Georgia getting a draw against a fickle Swiss outfit.

It's a win next time that puts us through regardless of other results. (Unless Denmark lose to Gibraltar at home), don't we go through on the head to head v Denmark then ?

You must have no access to news back west? It's a win next time that puts us through regardless of other results. (Unless Denmark lose to Gibraltar at home)

Well they thought me maths in Nathys and if Swiss only got a point against Georgia, and beat Gib, they are on 15 pts. Denmark will be on 15 pts when they beat Gib. And we would be on 15 if we bet Denmark. So we would still come third in that scenario. However, Swiss unlikely to drop points to Georgia so the win would most likely put us through. But it's mathematically possible that all 3 could be on 15 and us with our poor scoring difference would be out.

No Ireland would leapfrog Denmark on head to head.  Eriksen is off form so that's a plus. He destroyed Ireland 2 years ago

[LilySavage]

No we wouldnt. We'd be out.

[rodney trotter]

No we wouldn't. It was known before todays game Ireland needed 3 pts from either of the 2  remainig games to guarantee at least second spot..

Only if Ireland and Denmark are both on 15. If Swiss get complacent and drop points to Georgia, while unlikely, 3 would be on 15 and we would be out. That's all I'm saying.
