What a performance! 0-4 against Estonia in the play off first leg.
Looking forward to watching the home leg(party) on Tuesday night.
So chuffed for the lads, great to see the paddy's at the Euro's the fans go down a storm wherever they play.

It definately wasn't as easy as the score line suggests. A real sticky patch until the second goal went in but they should be safe now.

Only saw the highlights on SSN , Looked like Estonia struggled with the discipline too!

 

[chris661]

There wasn't much in it IMO the ref seemed a little harsh with some of the bookings but got the sendin offs right. Bottom line is they scored four away from home so are going to the finals.

We were lucky we got the 2nd when we did , estonia were playing the better football with 10 men , no easy international games anymore so we will take the win and be happy , mayb the infamous henry handball will be filed away in irish history now, be a good party in Dub thur night..

Christ if they failed against the weakest team in the play offs HUGE questions needed to be asked.

Glad they have progressed though makes watching the tournament more bearable.

No certainties tho craw i mean the pharo islands only scraped past them in 1 of the group games , ... jesus mate if the quality we play at makes it more bearable you must be expecting it to be fair crap.. good for the country tho , sport success brings out a good side in us. hard to see anyone beating spain in it

Great result..Italian managers, who's the best?

 

[evahakool]

Great result for ROI,been really unlucky in the past in playoffs,so will be good to see them go through(hopefully)

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Good performance though to be fair it was one of the best draws you could have got. I think even if you'd got a draw or a single goal win you'd have cruised through at home. Will be good to see you there next year

 

[Naybrains]

Job Done.

Job Done.

Hardly emphatic but good enough. Looking forward to seeing both England and ROI next year and hope we aren't drawn together and we can both progress

Emphatic? 5-1 over two legs is pretty emphatic.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Congrats to the Irish, gives me someone else to "follow" in the Euros.

 

[bladeplayer]

Hope we play better when we get there . 1-1 with estonia at home & they were missing 5 1st teamers ?? we be whinging if Richard Dunne was missing ... lets not forget when we were 1 nil up in first leg & they were down to 10 men they were playing us off the pitch , til Walters scored . they went a on a bit of self destruct then, chuffed as punch we got through but as someone who spent a small fortune supporting Ireland home & away over the years & having seen the good the bad & the ugly of it i wont be getting carried away ..

5-1 not emphatic?? Bloody hell Homer,and to think you follow Fulham!That is a shafting in my book.

I see the seedings have been done and they could end up in with Spain,Italy and Greece..................................the group of debt!!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

5-1 not emphatic??

I meant at home last night. I thought they would have won by two or three. Yes the two legged scoreline is emphatic
