FAI...New Manager is Heimir Hallgrimsson

See the bould Ronnie got his red suspended or rescinded effectively. Must be great to be mates with Trump and Infantino. Bring back Sepp, all forgiven.

It's laughable that this has happened but the surprise is that anybody is surprised. FIFA a great bunch of lads.
The Ref that sent him off will probably never get an international game again.

They'll probably ban Dara O'Shea  from the whole world cup if  Ireland make it , for getting in the  way of Ronaldo's elbow.

Funny thing is ,lIke with  Qatar, we'll all forget about these things once the  football starts

Shels and Shamrock Rovers both lost last night. Not looking good for qualification.

Rovers need 6 more points, the last two games v Iceland and Malta were always the crucial games. They will be grand. Shels were never qualifying with their draw.

There are 15 teams on 7,  20 on 6 and 24 on 5. 7 may not be enough.

My understanding is it should be.

But the point is Rovers table position is a bit misleading. Their tough games were front loaded and run in was where the points were to be had. This is why the 'surprise' point in Athens was important

[seafoid]

Fingers crossed. They should be capable of winning 6 points.

Should they be capable of beating Breidablik in Iceland, a team who beat them handily over two legs in the recent past? Crossing fingers don't make that happen.
