When is the play-off draw?

I think Thursday

Plenty time to rig it then.  Where will Ryanaiir be hoping for?  What chances Montenegro?

Milltown Row2

What happens if they are one of the top seeds? Home last match or a lesser team to play against?

Job done tonight i wouldn't fancy us v anyone in the play offs. 2nd leg at home?
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

this is worse than watching Donegal.

do we qualify if we win or whats the story?

Qualify to get beaten in a 2 leg play-off

Playoff record for major tournaments.

1996 Netherlands 0-2
1998 Belgium 1-1, 1-2
2000 Turkey 1-1, 0-0
2002 Iran 2-0, 0-1
2010 France 0-1, 1-1

If they get drawn against an Asian team in the playoffs they might have a chance.

Perfect, they will drop you off in Doncaster.

I belive Bowl A has top 4 seeds and can play any of the 4 in bowl B.  Bowl A team has second leg at home.

All subject to confirmation, of course.

Why Doncaster?

Great to get the win,I'd rather see them winning playing poor than losing playing well.

I wouldn't be too concerned about Doyle missing as we have good options up front now with the likes of Long,Best,Cox and Walters.
Midfield is a problem, Whelan is awful imo as is McGeady. I'd have Coleman and Fahy in instead.
Good chance of qualifying now,it be just great to qualify.
Brilliant to see the stadium almost full and the place rocking.

2nd game at home not as big an advantage.  Anyone fancy France in a play off?

Lads we are an absolute shambles. Outplayed by 10 men. Experienced players panicking when we should have closed out the game in a canter.   

Bensars

Won't qualify. Poor side. 2 gifted goals. No attacking flair. Shots on goal are like hens teeth

Denmark beating Portugal 2-0 so we could have France and Portugal in the draw if we don't get to be a top seed.
France only need draw v Bosnia so hopefully they can get an equaliser which should make us a top seed.

Bosnia just scored, so it is still on !

Funny game, nice result.

Thought Cox was decent and Walters looked very useful when he came on. Duff put in a good shift. Delighted Dunne got his goal.

Doyle looked to be in one of his moods and deserved to be lined. McGeady was largely shite, but has had a good campaign and is still better than Hunt.

With Doyle and Keane out for the first playoff game, wouldn't mind seeing a front two of Walters and Long. Nice mix of strength and pace there. Cox could be a great addition if he could do two good things in a row a bit more often.
