Jacques Hunt Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The final humiliation has occurred.the final "home" nation has qualified for France while we sit at home next year doing whatever.a change of personnel has given us some form of hope for up coming campaigns in the past.but this time i cannot see any reason to be optimistic.looking at our world cup group,we in reality we could be on the wrong end of two severe hidings from our closest derby rival... On form we could get two hidings - agreed. However, I believe that we can and will give them a game - twice - and may even get a bit of luck and take some points. My greater concern is the very tricky games against the other teams in the group. The top seeds are likely to go to Slovenia, Slovakia and Lithuania and win at least one-nil. That is what I want us to do but we never do and that is why we struggle.TBH, if I was empowered to pick four UEFA teams and make up a good group for us I would still not be confident of us winning it. Sincerely hope we do not have our heads in our hands after the first match of WC qualifiers. Malta. This is not meant to be a crticism of our players and staff as I still believe WGS is correct man and the players are as good as we have IMO. Just hope the likes of Rhodes, Russell get game time and do well and perhaps some of the younger lads discussed in other threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a game but still lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesMcC Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The cost, stress, logistical problems of going. Flights from Ireland already sky rocketing. Already hvaing arguments with mates over the cheapest way to do it flying vs driving. Lots of people in my job looking to go which means everyone getting time off will be a problem. The price of hotels and beer in France. Tickets going on sale just before Christmas which doesn't help the wallet. Lots of band-wagoners going who'll try snap up tickets and who wouldn't know the names of half the starting XI. Irish football fans travelling to France wearing Irish rugby jerseys. Irish fans singing 'Fields of Athenry' when we're getting thumped by Spain 4-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eire Abu Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Scotland has plenty to be optimistic about, just sort out your defence cause everything else is fine bar performance against the likes of Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
