What a group the Irish have pulled in next years Euro championships .... Fantastic . Wish it was Scotland .

Spain , Italy and Croatia you couldn't ask for a better draw . Luck of the Irish right enough . Good luck to them i for one will be watching every game they play .

At least Trap had the crazy idea of playing guys in their proper positions and getting the best from them. Avril is plenty negative, just a bit thick tae

FFS the Italian medallion even played a striker in every qualifying match . Honestly can't believe people on here complaining about negative tactics of Trapatoni when we have to put up wiith Levein . Well i suppose if your watching from afar (through your great great grannies eyes) you might not be happy with the way your "nation" qualified for a major championships . Me i would jst be happy to be in the mix . ;)

Exactly, anyone complaining about a manager getting a relatively small fish into the big pond is aff their nut. So what if they get humped, at least they have the opportunity to compete

The group their in is a godsend . No pressure what so ever . No one expects them to do anything against Spain and Italy and even Croatia are a tough task . They can just go out and enjoy themselves wouldn't bet against them taking points of any of those sides btw .

With the pressure off I wouldn't be surprised to see a wee shock somewhere
