N.I. have an excellent chance of winning their group. They'd definitely fancy themselves against two teams that are not as good as an average enough Switzerland side.
Fcukers must be over the moon with the draw

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Suffering from a Euro hangover, I fully expect Austria to win this group. |

Overall, though, I'm optimistic - Michael staying is obviously a big boost in itself, but equally importantly, he has said he spoke to his senior players before making up his mind. This suggests that the majority of them want to keep on playing rather than retire, which must mean they believe in Michael/themselves/the team. He also had a get-together in England with his coaches to discuss our future prospects and has been actively scouting our younger players coming through. This process of consultation has shades of 2013, when results (though not performances) after his first two years were dire. He drove from Edinburgh to Southampton to find out the mood of the players from his captain, Steven Davis. Davis reassured him that they were all still behind him, so he was encouraged to carry on. Somehow, I doubt Martin O'Neill goes through much of a similar process when deciding his own future!

Has been replaced by Franco Foda, a German who's done most of his coaching in Austria with Sturm Graz: |

But he was never settled in the NI side, took the hump over something or other and retired from the team after nine caps: (When Michael says he's "disappointed" by someone, that's often code for "severely pissed-off") Dunno if it's fair or not, but it gained him a reputation for being a moody bugger. And he's certainly moved around a lot, often on loan, which would suggest there's something in that. P.S. Had he stuck around, he could have 50 or more NI caps by now, and played in the Euro's etc. Though in truth, that probably says more about our other gk's than anything else. * - Would make him and Sunderland a good match?

@Territorial how many Nordies fans do you think will be at the match in Dublin 15/11/18?
I don't need an exact figure an estimate will do!

If the IFA imposes travel restrictions like the last time (no ticket unless you travel on official buses etc), then people will be conflicted between (A ) the hassle and opportunity for reputational damage etc, and (B ) the desire to support your team (esp when we've a better chance of a result than usual). Some sample posts on OWC: "Speaking to a fellow NI fan this morning in work about this game and i said i wouldn't be going as i think it could be over run with old firm fans who support niether ROI or NI. My work mate doesn't think this will be an issue, i pointed out that on away trips i like going to the square or wherever and having a bit of craic and sing songs outside some pubs, and couldn't see this being the case in O'connell St say for example." --------------------------------------------- "The danger is that most Norn iron fans who attend home and away and not going to Dublin are leaving spare tickets for the riot squad, and when it all kicks of, the beeb and UTV will have a field day beating us all with the bigotry stick. prefer to go on an away trip and relax and enjoy myself rather than be looking over my shoulder." ---------------------------------------------- "If they once more suggest that our support can't be trusted to approach a stadium, like any other nation, then I think we shouldn't be playing these games. For the Nations Cup game, I was living in Dublin at the time. I would have had to drive to Belfast, get on a bus, be driven to Dublin, watch the match, get back on the bus, be driven to Belfast, then drive back to Dublin again. a 400 mile round trip to watch a match in the city I live in! If they have to go to this level of security then it isn't worth playing." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "I was one of the couple of hundred who didn't boycott the ROI game in 2011. If my memory serves me correctly it was all abit sh*t last time. Poor crowd and we were solidly beaten. The northern ROI fans seemed to out in strength with Armagh GAA flags etc being waved at us. Was only a few hundred of us but I remember there was one or two places going in / leaving the stadium where the opposing fans were in close proximity. The "friendly" exchange of pleasantries left me to conclude if there had been a few thousand of us and a few more "headers" in our ranks it had the potential to go very wrong! Having said all that I'd find it hard not to go to a NI away match which is 2 hours drive away." ---------------------------------------------------------------- "100% won`t be going to this for several reasons 1) Not giving a penny to an organisation that openly steals out players and treats us with such disdain. 2) Almost certainly entrance will be via official coaches, busing us in and out for the match only, akin to Linfield going to Solitude. The best part of away matches is the craic before in the bars, not sat in an Ulsterbus. 3) The match will attract a certain element, from both sides but we will be covered more extensively. Footage of some steeks singing the Billy Boys as they travel into D4 isn`t something I want to be associated with. 4) The "No Surrender" will be the loudest for years and Nolan will run a phone in the next day asking if we should unite as one. 5) The last few times we played them was Dublin, why not come to the National Stadium? IFA really are an inept shower, for that reason I`m out. (and loads will be like me)" --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm not keen on the game but I'll be going. Need as many regulars there as possible to drown out the idiots" "I think that [above] is the crux of it for me. I'll certainly want to be lording it over them should we win too. I can fully understand why people might choose to avoid it though." "Totally agree with this [above]. Let’s just go cheer our boys on and have a party like we normally do. Some people on here need to move on ffs. We can’t determine what the Republic fans get up to but that’s their problem #GAWA" ---------------------------------------------------------------- And this one made me smile: "Will there be special half and half scarfs available for this match?"
