You have to do Azer Drums surely . 

It's just the travel for a couple of days. May depend on time of year and other fixtures.

Baku is pain in the bollocks to get to. Stayed there 2 nights before Georgia away and the city is cool enough. We stayed in the old town beside a few of the embassies. Not a peep at night and cops/private security guards everywhere. It's a Muslim country but secular and very safe. People were very nice but a lot had no English. 

Did the overnight train from Baku to Tbilisi. Never again. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

All depends on the timing. If we have any away double headers, I wouldn't mind avoiding Azerbaijan as part of the double header.

Wonder will they get the fixtures out tonight or will it be tomorrow. They didn't say anything about it there.

Was wondering the same.

Belgrade was superb last time great craic in the 3 carrots but must get out and see a bit more of the city

Hopefully lisbon for the Portugal game been a few times with Celtic great city

Luxembourg an unknow for me but those on a fag run its cheap enough 

could have been a lot worse will defo do baku if restrictions allow

Luxembourg city is one of the most expensive in Europe. There's very little to see there either.

I'm still wondering why Portugal were listed with Azerbaijan as distant countries but Ireland weren't. It'll be two very long trips for Azerbaijan.

Ok draw from both a football and travel viewpoint. 

Three from them were in the same group for Euro 2020 qualifiers. Serbia can be hit or miss on the day.

Hopefully fixtures will give Ireland an easier start at home.

Because Portugal is further away from Azerbaijan than Ireland

Booze, fags and petrol are cheap. Was there a few years ago and loved it. Will stay in Brussels and travel down if it’s possible to go.

How do you figure that? You must have a different map to me LOL

If you want, draw a line from Ireland to Portugal to Azerbaijan and you'll see it's like a triangle. We are slightly further away. 

Edit: Made the mistake of excluding the shape of the earth LOL Even still, the distances are very similar.

[QUOTE=Artie Ziff]
Let's be realistic here this qualifying campaign is a learning curve for Kenny to build a team for future campaigns. 

he has had his learning curve he will not be manager this time next year without a major improvement.
He sai himself that he was brought in for this campaign. 16 points a minimum requirement for me.
I expect 12 from Azerbaijan and Luxembourg

Have a look on Google Earth as Portugal is west of Ireland 

Distance from Ireland to Azerbaijan is  4,384.15 km

Distance from Portugal to Azerbaijan is 4,738.27 km
