Must win game keeping in mind we're away to Italy on Wednesday. Damien Duffs injury is a big loss

We need to get 20+ points to stand a chance of qulaification, correct me if I'm wrong but there are 8 groups and only the top 8 go to a play-off. A win against Bulgaria is vital as playing away in Cyprus and Bulgaria will be difficult places to go.

the top 8 go straight in. the 8 seconds play off

I really don't know how kevin Kilbane has managed to play international football for so long. he's a lovely fella and a great workhorse but he has never done anything for ireland when it really matters. I really worry about our full back options. We used always have plenty of good quality full backs but now we have .
a choice between Finan (who was a great player and was rarely used in his best position) who is inot fully fit I believe, stephen kelly who is dodgy, paul Mcshane who is extremely dodgy, joey o' brien who doesn't play enough club football. Kilbane who will get turned too easily. what about Fahy at birmingham, is he worth a look. who else is there ?.

Best of Luck? I don't think they can get much more if you believe this week's article in "The Guardian".

Played Georgia at a neutral stadium, Cyprus best player out, Bulgaria short Berbatov, Petrov and the other City lad who are their best players, the worst penalty decision ever at Croke, I think they may have used up their portion of luck.

Is Fahey not a midfielder? Foley at Wolves is doing well.

Best of luck to the lads tomorrow night. Must win game if we are to keep up with Italy.
