He's had:
Scotland very unlikely losing in Georgia to open the door for us - Wales and ourselves dropped points out there, they aren't bad
Third place making a play off for the first time - Mick and Jack were also lucky that it wasnt just one qualifying spot by that reasoning. Everyone knew the state of play going into the group, and it was a tough group
Drawing Bosnia in Euro 2016 play off - The second hardest team we could have got if i recall correctly
Drawing Wales as a first seed in the world cup - Fairly lucky but we got Serbia as third seeds
Scotland losing to Slovenia having gone 1-0 up to open the door for us again - Scotland drew. Not that lucky, happens. Slovenia were unbeaten at home. There were many permutations that could have given us something to play for
Gareth Bale missing Wales last vital matches - Again, happens and we have been missing players for lots of our big results
Winning a must win game in Cardiff with our only real chance - not a lucky win, Wales didnt deserve anything
Drawing Denmark in world cup play off - Could have been a lot worse. This is lucky but its no Estonia


Add to that Serbia missing their two best players int he away leg - again, weve missed big players in big games. Our midfield was decimated against Wales at home, Coleman out, four players missing against Germany 2015
Fog in Bosnia to ruin their atmosphere and advantage - Fog is the same for both teams 
Getting Italy reserves in the Euros - LOLLOLLOL
Own goal in Scotlands game with Slovakia in 88th minute - Scotland had been probing all game. Don't hear anyone putting Ciaran Clark's og against Sweden down to 'bad luck' but that cancels it out

You have to laughLOL

Bottom line, if you were so inclined you could make such a list of almost any manager who has gotten similar breaks. The fact that every team hasn't had every single player fit and hasnt played to absolute top form isn't luck, it's football. We've had the same and nobody calls us unlucky. 

We've had a few things go our way but its not like we've had supernatural luck. 

50/50 call goes against us for an Austria winner
Our best player gets a broken leg
insane amount of injuries before Wales home
Rarely having a full complement of players to choose from
Never a penalty in Belgrade
I could go on but point is, nobody is that lucky.

In football, if you lose, you're a c**t, and if you win, you're brilliant. Doesn't matter in the slightest how those are achieved. Let's see what we're calling him come 10 PM or so, 14th Nov.

Luck my bollix. We knew 3rd place in the last campaign would get us a play-off before we started, we came 3rd in a tough group beating top seeds. Scotland slipping up in Georgia is not 'luck', nor is getting Bosnia in the play-offs. Were Bosnia worse than Hungary, Sweden and Ukraine?

Italy B team my hole. That Italian 11 would walk in to any Irish team and they were all trying to play for a place in their National team. We've always done well against Italy.

If you want to talk about luck in this campaign, I fail to see where we got lucky with the injuries we've had throughout this campaign, how Bale stayed on the pitch in Lansdowne, how Serbia got that penalty in Belgrade and how the ref disallowed that goal v Austria.

Results go our way, MON is lucky. They don't go our way, he's sh1te! Does my head in!

Lenny the Celtic fan in standing up for MON shockerShocked

Your point about knowing 3rd was good enough for a playoff.  So he had given up on automatic qualification before a ball was kicked? So you are saying MON played a blinder?  He gifted 3rd to Scotland but somehow knew they would blow it and it was all part of his masterplan just to give us a fright and make it interesting.

Same this time no doubt. decided automatic qualification was a bit boring and wanted to make things a bit spicy so decided to tease wales for a while then BAM!   He KNEW Scotland would win one game and lose another and KNEW we would beat Wales. It was all part of the plan all along.

I wish I knew when bizarre pieces of luck would fall my way.

Well said. Bonucci and Barzagli were not B team players but who cares about that if you hate MON.

All our Christmasses came at once getting MON and Roy Keane in. Will take more time for that fact to settle with some people.
