I was astounded by how many druggies and how dirty it was around the city centre office. Anyway, gladly I didn’t stay long. Looking forward to pumping them up and down. Going by your post you sound like the arrogant type yourself mo chara 😉 You'd be wise not to write us off. Since the Luxembourg catastrophe at home, we've been unbeaten in 10 games (I think) and were cheated out of a draw in Portugal and a legitimate goal against them in Dublin. Portugal probably expected to pump us too and their arrogance has landed them in a playoff where they'll probably need to beat Italy to qualify for the world cup. Scotland are better than us at the moment and I do expect you lot to finish ahead of us but given we've a strong defense and excellent goalkeepers no matter who's playing, I don't see us being pumped by you lot or Ukraine. Scotland have a huge advantage with the fixture schedule so I'm not expecting us to finish anything higher than third spot but I think we'll make it difficult for both you and Ukraine.

breeks_mctavish Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hey there, good to hear from the Ireland’s perspective. I had noticed your results had started to pick up after a dreadful run. As far as I know the Ireland fans have stood behind Kenny throughout the bad times? I’m expecting a couple of very tight games which could go either way. Exactly the type we used to lose, but lately seem able to get a win. I agree that anyone who thinks we will pump Ireland are getting ahead of themselves. Personally, I’ve always had a great time when I’ve come to Dublin. Looking forward to the games and hope we get to show how much we’ve improved over the last year or so!

The Black Bra Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 For what it’s worth, I’ve been to Dublin 3 times (twice for Scotland games) and always enjoyed it. There are shite sides to every city if you go looking for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, that poster you responded to is most definitely not the voice of the Tartan Army. Secondly, I'm really looking forward to our games. It would be great to create a bit of local, friendly rivalry. I would be interested in the Irish perspective when it comes to their own squad. On paper, it looks like we are going through a bit of a role reversal. I.e circa 2002 you were starting a bit of a golden generation whilst we were the weakest in history. It feels like that has swapped. (No disrespect at all meant by that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I am from Glasgow so maybe I'm not in the best position to judge! 🤣 18 minutes ago, Tartan blood said: Firstly, that poster you responded to is most definitely not the voice of the Tartan Army.

From what I've seen of RoI the manager seems to be setting them up to be hard to beat, which makes sense since most of their better players are defenders.

It’s a local rival match and i would like to think we approach it and enjoy a victory in exactly the same way as if it was England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weekevie04 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Good to see you back, Irish. I've noticed a huge improvement in Ireland of late and it'll be a tight game with not much in it either way. Arrogance doesn't suit us at all, so anyway Scots boasting could be left with a lot of custard on their puss come the end of a pretty difficult (tight) group - Ireland v Armenia v Scotland v Ukraine, could go anyway.
