The Euro 2016 qualifiers thread

[SamScfc]

Ha, Gibraltar have just scored against Scotland.

That's what happens when you play 1 centre back, so disrespectful from Strachan.

 

[Dazza]

The mighty Gibraltar

 

[Skinner]

Cracking finish by Lafferty

 

[Dazza]

Looking like the Scots will end up scoring 6 or 7.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

It'll never make up for it.

 

[Skinner]

Lafferty again!

 

[Ninety Per Cent]

Need another one, the Finns are coming back into it.

 

[Dazza]

Looking very good for Northern Ireland to qualify.Big game in June against Romania at Windsor Park.

 

[Leewilson]

Amazing chance for Northern Ireland. Another 8 points should do it.

 

[mpmbee]

Great to see Stuart Dallas doing well for Northern Ireland. He has come on leaps and bounds this past year.

 

[SALTIRE]

The bare minimum of a +5 goal difference against Gibraltar today as everyone has put bags of goals in against them. Scotland are in a very healthy position here. Hoping for a draw in the ROI v Poland match.

 

[Stevencc]

The real story there is that Gibraltar managed to score a goal!

 

[Leewilson]

This Republic of Ireland team/squad is very weak, possibly the weakest I remember it being for a long time. They're definitely finishing 4th in this group. Scotland I imagine will be 3rd as the Poles win over Germany is a huge 3 points.

Don't see many Republic youngsters coming through either. Says alot when Jack Connors, a left back not even getting into our (Dagenham and Redbridge) squad is the u21 left back.

You conceded to Gibraltar.

Hehe its not as bad as San Marino getting a goal against England in the first few minutes all those years ago!

Yeah thats how I predicted Scotland would finish ahead of the ROI before the qualifiers started. I still think they have a chance to usurp us though if we're not careful.

 

[SALTIRE]

Get in! Ireland equalise with minutes remaining!

 

[Super_horns]

Draw would be good news for the Scots.

 

[mnb089mnb]

Still can't get over Wales win yesterday. Ludicrous.

5 games to go with something to play for!

I'm all booked up for Bosnia away now.

 

[BlueBee]

Shane Long is so so underrated.

 

[GodsGift]

He's a striker who doesn't score that much, so no he's not.

 

[Leewilson]

He's a striker who doesn't score that much, so no he's not.

Agreed although I would definitely have him starting for Ireland.

 

[BlueBee]

Finally someone who agrees with me. Doesn't have the greatest goal record but he works his fucking socks off, right place, right time for the goal tonight. I vaguely remember you being half-Irish mate, do you support us internationally?

full irish. I've only been to one game, in the Ireland at Wembley a couple of months back. A certain Shane Long scored a wonder goal that night too.

 

[GodsGift]

Agreed although I would definitely have him starting for Ireland.

Don't get me wrong I like him as a player. But generally he's recognised as a decent forward who will put in a shift for you, which is exactly what he is.

 

[BlueBee]

It's criminal that Martin O'Neil waited til the 81st minute to bring him on tonight. Hopefully his goal forces Oneils hand and he's started in the next few games.

 

[Leewilson]

Don't get me wrong I like him as a player. But generally he's recognised as a decent forward who will put in a shift for you, which is exactly what he is.

Indeed, and these underrated claims tend to pop up every few months when he has an outstanding game and bags a goal or two. Then after that he goes back to working hard but not scoring very much and he's forgotten about again.

 

[BlueBee]

Good man, what a game that must have been to go to. I've only been to the one too, Ireland v Italy at Craven Cottage, 0-0 Cracking atmosphere mind.

Ye me and my mate managed to bag top tier front row seats. It was class.

 

[mnb089mnb]

Top tier or top gear?

this is why spelling is so important.

 

[BlueBee]

Tier.

This bastard phone. (Convenient excuse)

 

[markwwfc1992]

Peszko scored

[fifaking]

Massive game tonight! So looking forward to it.. hoping we can get another backs to the wall draw which would be brilliant never mind win, but my pessimistic Welsh side is telling me we'll get battered 3-0, pick up just the 3 points (home to Andorra) in the last 4 games, finish 3rd and draw Holland in the play-offs...
