Looking at accuweather for March can be in early to mid 20’s at the time of year in Kazakhstan.

While a draw tonight would take it out our hands I would guess that we would still get a play-off, albeit versus a League B side. There are still 8 play off spots for league A and B for teams that dont qualify. You would have to think that of the 24 teams in A & B, 20 of them will qualify outright, would fancy the likes of a Serbia maybe sneak one depending on who they draw.

He doesn’t look well, I’ve thought that for a while hand after watching his press conference after the game on Saturday I’m convinced something isnt’t right. whether its drink or not who knows but hope it’s nothing to serious.

There was something mentioned about this on talksport recently, may have been Snoddy himself actually. Was pretty much the above. His big concern seemed to be risking his relationship with West Ham just as he's got himself back in the good books with them.

He did, think it was Dominic Matteo who burst down the left on the counter and played a ball into the middle but Ferguson’s first touch was to heavy and took it to close to the keeper and it was cleared.

Only a suggestion for those fans willing to do it, could certainly ease queues in Tel-Aviv and Haifa.

Surely in these circumstances and given that this has been outwith the SFA's hands they could arrange for fans to collect from Hampden before traveling.

Would say now that NI wont have any stadium big enough to do it, talk over here when it was mentioned a few weeks back was NI being used as a training base.

Fletcher only just coming back from a bad injury, played his first 45 mins at the weekend for Sheffield Wednesday since December.

He's carrying an injury as well as far as I know.

Injured again I think.

No it had to be a UEFA team.

If you look back at that 98 campaign we played a game at Rugby Park, that wouldn’t happen now. Was there also not the case that the Latvia game was due to be played at Tynecastle but it was switched Parkhead due to the nature of the result?

Hi Davy, Can I reserve 6 seats please if possible? Thanks

A number of media outlets reporting tonight that Moyes will leave West Ham at the end of the season. Does that bring him back into it?

Really hope the talk of Billic is true. Of the 4 mentioned would be top of the list by a long way.

The Times newspaper saying that the SFA board are looking at Clarke. As for Smith, very much hope that’s just a nonsense story.

Also signed a new deal with Stoke as well. Good chance for him to get more first team football

It was 15:30

O’Neill wont be NI manager in a year, his own statement about it not being the right oportunity would suggest he’s waiting for the right club job, which is certainly the talk over here in Belfast. A lot of NI fans I talk to are under no illusion that they will loose him sooner rather than later. Still an utter shambles and from listening the Tom English earlier the IFA have sold us a right dummy in recent weeks.

More money and even by the admision of a lot of NI fans over here he’s taken them as far as he can. Brunt, McAuley and Hughes will all retire for a start. He will no doubt see the Scotland job as a new challange with much bigger resources NI based Sun journo on Radio Ulster this morning saying he expects him to go to Scotland job. He wont just jump at the first club job. If the Sun is also to be believed there is no compensation if its another international job.

There was an article like that but it was quotes from Jimmy Nicholl. He was interviewed in the Belfast Telegraph over here in October talking about his reluctance to move into club management due to the lack of control and trigger happy chairman. He will be tempted by us, I’m certain of that. NI squad getting older and dont have the structure below to back it up like we do. Though he could be a good bet for the Burnley job if Dyche goes to Everton. I personally think he will be our new manager.

Fully expect SFA to make an approach in next few weeks

BBC gossip saying mackay will only be in charge for this game.

O'Neills attention to detail on every game is staggering, if he comes he'll bring Austin McPhee with him who does all the video analysis for NI.
