Euro 2016 qualifying draw

[ocred]

We got Germany again and there's another trip to Poland on the cards. Also got Scotland, Georgia and newcomers Gibraltar. On a footballing level it's a tough enough group but could have been a lot worse.

Group D: Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland, Republic of Ireland

Very tough draw, though there are some good brothels in Germany and Poland, if you are traveling to the away games, Scotland, even Edinburgh's licensed trade seems to be ever diminishing as a punter destination! Georgia may have real trafficking issues and Gibraltar to small, but they play in Faro!
Only group 1 tougher, England get their standard easy as pee group and The North get a relatively good one!
Don't be shocked to see us come 4th!

Group F: Greece, Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Romania, Hungary

Yep that's a nice draw for the north but you wouldn't put it past them beating Finland and dropping points against the Faroes. Come to think of it, you wouldn't put it past us either!

Its a tough draw but if they start the campaign well who knows what will happen but an away game in Scotland will be some piss up after a good game

Ireland are really up against it. Germany will top the group and Poland Scotland and Georgia are all tough opposition. The "dream team" will really face a true test of their managerial abilities and I hope they will come through it. Incidentally the away game against Scotland is likely to be played in Celtic Park as Hampden is unavailable this year,so it will be a return to familiar surroundings for both O Neill and Strachan.

well if they can't finish 3rd they don't deserve to be in the euros or to be playing football if there anyway organised they should beat scotland and georgia and take something off poland we nearly always come close to play-offs which will have less stronger teams so 3rd should be possible with extra chances to qualify now they have no excuses

Ireland only finished fourth in their World Cup qualifying group which had the same class level as this one has so nothing is cut and dried.It all depends on how O Neill and Keane manage and motivate the players. Scotland are a much stronger team since Strachan took over as their manager and Poland and Georgia will be no pushovers either.

Tough draw

ya i agree, we got a good manager, we got heart nd on paper we a better team than the rest beside germany of course,
2nd spot we should get but be close with poland

I can see ourselves Poland and Scotland all taking points off each other and it going right down to the wire. We should have enough about us to finish at least 3rd..... and then balls it up in the playoffs... again!
