As a matter of interest did you hold the Russia WC in the same regard ? 

Genuinely yes.

So you didn’t watch a single game at the World Cup?

So if Ireland qualify, you won't even watch a game on the telly?

No. I won't either and I hope we don't qualify. I'd rather Ireland had nothing to do with this competition. 

You'd rather Ireland didn't qualify for a world cup??? 

Why do you even have an account on this website then???
 
Each to their own, not everyone is happy clappy. People have different moral and ethical standards.
But everyone here is here to support their country on the football field??

Of course we are but there has to be a limit to that. It's an extreme example but it is the same logic. Would you want Ireland to qualify and play in a tournament where the hosts explicitly stated that they wouldn't allow black people or women to attend? Using your logic, you might think it's terrible but you're just there to support the team on the pitch. Would you genuinely attend such a tournament? 

I wouldn't go as far as the lads, I'll still go the qualifying games but I would want (I know there is no a hope in hell of it happening) that if we qualified the FAI stated they were boycotting the tournament. There is not a fear of me going to Qatar if we qualify. 
They won’t let black people or women attend ? Jaysus every international team has players of that skin tone or women as part of the set up, can you bang up that article, sounds fckin mad

I didn't say that women or black people wouldn't be allowed attend. I was asking the question that if there was a tournament that had such rules, if ColemanKillybegs would attend it. 
Took you up wrong so chief, my apologies Thumbs Up

The EU and Qatar concluded talks on an open skies agreement.

http://www.ft.com/content/c4c774c0-295c-11e9-a5ab-ff8ef2b976c7

Good news for those planning on travelling to the WC in 2022. Wizz Air already fly to Dubai. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see them add Doha as a destination.

The EU and Qatar have announced they have signed an “open skies” agreement which gives all airlines from both partners “unlimited and unrestricted access” to each other.The Comprehensive Air Transport Agreement is the first between the EU and a Gulf Co-operation Council state, and comes as Qatar is still experiencing a blockade by its neighbours.Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker said the agreement would allow “fair competition” and added: “Our hope is that the success of these negotiations will encourage other trading blocs and significant aviation markets to join in achieving a liberalised global aviation regime for future generations.”

In the agreement, the EU and Qatar agreed to articles on competition, the environment, consumer protection and transparency.Henrik Hololei, the European Commission’s director of general mobility and transport, said: “We are very pleased to have concluded our negotiations with the State of Qatar here in Doha today. Thanks to the strong commitment of all parties, we have managed to reconcile our differences and found common ground through honest engagement and open dialogue.”

Mad how it was all doom and gloom for them at start of campaign after they lost to Macedonia.

But rest of the group really played into their hands then with other teams dropping points.

couple of groups willl go to the wire. 90+9 minute penalty for the Turks kept them in with a shout. They should win there last two games which will put them into a good spot for 2nd - without the penalty they’d been almost done.

Playoff seeding very very tight.

Edit: more than a couple - November 14th could be a classic qualification night.
