ParisInAKilt Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) I think the Ireland team is well equipped to get a point in Poland and possibly against Germany. A victory in either is very unlikely based on this and recent campaigns. No hard feelings towards Ireland if they make it, they got a point in Germany and beat Georgia away, that's points gained on us from their defeat.

TheBoysinGreen Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Not Mystic Meg so don't know how any game is going to go, but in ROI's 2 matches v us they resembled a 1980's English first division long-ball side. They scored one goal in 2 matches against us and it was offside. It actually embarrasses me to see the Irish support gloating and patting their own back because of our own disaster v Georgia. The paddy power Roy Keane truck also doesn't make me want to see Ireland do at all well.

jockodile Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Boys in Green I'm sure if we were headed straight for automatic qualification that we'd all, or at least mostly, be rooting for Ireland to nab the playoff spot, apologies to Poles, to ensure the whole of the British Islands would be going to France - what a party. That we might not for the first time screw it up after a promising start doesn't bring out the best. It's jealousy, but end of the day you guys chased down the matches in Germany and Georgia and got your rewards, we didn't. I like Guinness, but less keen on expat Scots playing for Ireland when they could be giving us goals and taking us places. We'll see what happens next month!

Still possible for Ireland to finish second and us third, so your scenario could yet happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Basically a win for us in Glasgow and an Ireland win in Warsaw would see the latter qualify outright and us into third? Either way, something has to give assuming Germany win in Dublin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjm007 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 So its out of our hands but could be back in them after the next match. Ireland's best chance is us not beating Poland in Glasgow IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland's best chance is us not beating Poland in Glasgow IMHO. If we beat Poland and Ireland beat Germany then a draw between Poland and Ireland in the last match will put us out. Any other result for Ireland against Germany leaves it in our hands if we beat Poland. That game really is the big one.

Orraloon Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 No quite as long as Germany beat Ireland Not quite, that should be "As long as Ireland don't beat Germany". A draw between Ireland and Germany is OK for us as long as we win both of our last 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eire Abu Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I would like both of us to qualify so i'm hoping we can both beat Poland. The way things look that's an unlikely scenario. Ye guys really have to beat Poland to stand any chance and that might spur us on to do the same. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malbuck Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 As an Ireland supporter im not yet convinced that we can qualify either fluking second place or getting through to the playoffs. Germany will put us to the sword in Dublin and I fear that Poland will gain all three points in Warsaw after being defeated by the Scotts. The Scotts have nothing to lose playing the Poles.

You suddenly became very vocal on here as soon as we stopped getting results. Im guessing that Parkhead banner was something celtic fans did? I dont follow the SPL ...hence im asking As for paddypower ..... ....i seriously doubt they copied the parkhead banner ......the freedom jibe was easy an subject to use after ye're referendum vote.... they didnt need to see a banner to come up with it i would imagine. The vast majority of Scotland fans....took it for what it was.....harmless fun and were great sports about it. Honestly....with respect ....its not worth getting that wound up about it. Also remember PaddyPower are a betting company...their aim is to advertise and make money ANYWAY they can.....and that campaign worked....as did many others where they took the p*ss out of supporters (including our own) Equally PaddyPower are NOT the irish fans.....the same fans who had great craic ,banter,sportmanship and camradery with the scottish fans during their trip to Dublin.....so surely wishing another "thierry henry" on us...is going a bit OTT Anyhow ...best of luck for the rest of the group cheers!

Eh no....it was one of your fans in the November match against Scotland holding that banner. You'll not find many on here up for a joke about the referendum. And talking of getting wound up, you posted a topic on this forum immediately after our Georgia defeat asking us how we thought the group would go, if thats not an attempt to wind us up or rub salt in the wounds then I don't know what is. Jonathan Walters ''Thierry Henry''d us at the Aviva in the 1-1 draw by scoring a goal which was both offside and a handball..and yet i'm sure you probably still want the play-off v France replayed but will overlook your own. I wish all the Henry's in the world against you. Edited September 9, 2015 by BraveheartGordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 BraveheartGordon please take a , if you take a wee look at Green_Tide_Rising's posting history you'll see he's never engaged in any anti-Scottish baiting of any kind and has been a very constructive poster. In fact pretty much all of the Irish fans on here have made some interesting contributions and proved that they can take a joke.Though I'm a proud Scot first and foremost, I am also a Hibernophile and I wish Ireland well if they qualify.

I wish all the Henry's in the world against you. Was at the game in parkhead - didnt see that banner. Judging by the below link - there was plenty on here that could joke about the referendum banner advert ..... and Unlike you......to have some COP ON and not take the banner seriously http://tartanarmyboard.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=5135 Im not sure what post that your referring to after ye're defeat to georgia that i seemingly wrote......I do remembering posting a comment after our win over Gibraltar stating that the group was far from over despite ye're loss.....WHICH IS TRUE and is WHAT I BELIEVE. Im a grown man FFS ....Ive better things to be doing than going on a bloody internet forum and winding anyone up......nor have i ever done so on this or any other forum Walters goal was a offside ....no question about it (didnt see the handball ...need to check that again).....either way it should not have stood. Unfortunately that happens in football. Im quite sure Scotland over the years have been granted goals that should not have been allowed. And FYI....I was in Paris the night of Henrys handball......and NO i didnt/nor ever wanted a replay.......it was sh*te when it happened.....but as above ....thats football ....and sometimes decisions can be just sh*te....but have to be accepted As for you wishing us more Henry's..........ah I dont really give a toss Goodluck to you Edited September 9, 2015 by Green_Tide_Rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 If we don't qualify, couldn't really care less who does. I suppose most neutrals would want Germany to go through as they are looking like a genuinely good side, the Finals would be dimished by their not being there. Not something you could say about Ireland or Poland (or us). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
