Poland v Republic of Ireland

Should be a good game, both teams under new management, from what I saw of ROI last night this team is definitely on the up and playing with a new found freedom with the shackles of the previous regime being consigned to history.

its well documented that both teams had a poor qualifying campaign for the WC and think Poland not getting to the knockouts of the euros surely dented their confidence and appears to have carried that on.

Maybe home advantage might be enough to get a draw, so I'll plump for a 2-2.

Should be a good game. Certainly a sterner test that Latvia. I hope we keep the ball on the ground and don't revert to long ball. Should be good atmosphere at the game probably more Polish like the last game. Almost a home game to them!

3-1 to Ireland, despite , one of our lads getting a red.John Giles to be unusually effusive in his praise for the Irish players.

We're really well supported and under new management, but I'm gutted we didn't get Advocaat in who was rumoured to be the next manager.

We've gone for another man who played for us and did well in the Polish league, but that won't get us back into the finals of tournaments. Losing confidence and with every defeat sees us slip even further down the rankings. Another tough Euro qualifying campaign lies ahead, and I have no hopes whatsoever.

Think Ireland will win, I reckon it could be 3-1 as well.

4 nil to the boys in green.

You're lucky to be only the 2nd team in the way of the unstoppable green wave as performances and results improve.

Sure doesn't it turn out Roy's a lovely fella?

*PS I love Roy!!!

We've been terrible for the last 4/5 years, don't win our home matches and away from home we're even worse.

We'll be well down the seedings for the Euro draw, expect us to get a mad difficult group.

Poland are in Pot 4 for the Euro 2016 qualifiers

That's the team no one wants from that pot.

Also in that Pot are Latvia

I don't think we're anything to fear, although I understand why no one wants to play us away.

Looking at the early pots I'd happily take some from Pot 3, just wouldn't want Montenegro again or someone like Romania/Serbia.

Hungary from Pot 2 as well please

Do the final pot positions go on the next release of the FIFA rankings?

As a thank you to Greece I will be supporting them. Won't actually watch them (painful enough watching us sometimes) but will follow their results. I hope they appreciate it
That was a zzzzfest last night. At least we didn't lose but we couldn't keep the ball at times(especially near the end). Don't know why the ref was playing at with his 6mins stoppage time in a friendly.
Ended up switching back and forth between that game and the Portugal-Sweden game when the goal started flying in(I'm sure I'm not the only one).
