FAI...New Manager is Heimir Hallgrimsson

[bridgegael]

just on the draw for the euros,  will ireland be in the last pot?

[Canalman]

Very odd game in Talilinn.................. no way were we 4 goals the better team and imo the penalty was very soft.

Please God the caterwailing post Thierry Henry will now cease.

Btw, the faces/ demeanor of the RTE lads post match was as dour as could ever be seen. Lighten up a bit.

Delighted we qualified but would fear the worse at P/U. Imo we are like a drunk wandering down a motorway............... very lucky so far but an appointment with a truck surely on the way.

Terry mcflynn used to be at QPR but i dont think he featured in the 1st team when he was there late 90,s early 2000,s. I had the pleasure of meeting him through young ricky graham from kilkeel, who was also at loftus rd. Terry was a great lad and gave us a great spin through london in his car after the match.

Imo it was an absolute stonewall penalty. The Estonian player was not near the ball and barged over Hunt, forcing him down.That's a penalty, a clear penalty.

[the waffler]

when do we find out venues etc

[deiseach]

I see on BBC sport website, Ireland want a friendly with england in Dublin. That would be interesting.

They will wreck the neighbourhood.

How could you tell?

I'll get my coat . . .

Draw is on December 3rd. Group A and C would mean games in Poland. B and D are in Ukraine.

If you were manager of Estonia, how would you approach this tomorrow?

Relatively restrained and composed, trying to forge a 2-0 lead perhaps at HT?

You might want to look at it again. There was hardly any, if any contact. Thought at first glance myself it was a stonewaller but looking at replays it was very soft. Still, we deserve a bit of luck for some of the playoff misery over the years.

I have looked at it again and everything points to a stone wall penalty, including the estonian player who fouled  Hunt.  And Estonian pundits agree along with experienced referees who observed it.
There is no element of luck involved in a correct decision being made by the ref. And there is no element of luck when an experienced side deservedly gets into the seeded side of the draw, gets paired with a side who are inexperienced at this level and who make awful nervy ill disciplined decisions under pressure.

Im with canalman and his overall view of the game, it was a soft peno imo. I thought ref favoured us throughout but as seanie we deserved a bit of luck, as crazy as this may seem id rather qualify for poland ukraine than SA so i feel its worked out better, although ideally qualify for both. Isnt it ironic that Frances equaliser against Bosnia made us seeded for this play off draw!!!

[Main Street]

I am not a subscriber to conspiracy theories or the irrational 'luck theory'.

That ref is one of the best at this level. Every one of the big decisions he made has passed the highest scrutiny.

[Jonah]

I thought it was a very soft peno aswell.

[muppet]

Would have been a nailed on peno in Netball.

Soft one in soccer.

You would be laughed out of it in Gaa.

He would never get a game again in rugby.
