I don't think they were allowed to be in the same pot, either that or I misheard when they were drawn out earlier.
That's what I thought I heard, too.
Very sensible, but rather against the spirit of the "politics mustn't play any part ..." shite you hear all the time.

Part of the reason they extended the amount of teams to qualify was to give teams like Scotland and Wales a chance - I suspect it hasn't worked.

Not much interest in any of those groups - think Scotland's group probably the toughest.

Looking at that whole draw, and maybe I'm missing something, there's not one "Wow, look at that match" game been set up.

Went to the Le coq arena a few years( Estonia vs Andorra) ago still remember loads of Estonia fans running across the railway lines by the ground because it saved them a bit of time getting home, it was a good job there was no trains coming. Who knows by then I might have enough money to watch England away occasionally.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

I would suggest its so they can all be saved up for the super duper money spinning finals. No chance of any accidental non-qualifications from the big boys.

And yes, I am a cynic.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Feeling optimistic for Northern Ireland, can't imagine that feeling lasting long though.

Feeling oddly optimistic about that 3rd place spot in our Group of Death.

Ok, Germany and Poland have 1st and 2nd all-sewn up before a ball is kicked, but it's down to us and Ireland for 3rd and I fancy The Strach Attack to get one over on the O'Neill and Keane Circus.

Ok, we'll feck it up against Georgia or not really minnows* Gibraltar but I fancy our game against team green.

Quite right, big talent but a proper tool. Unfulfilled career, classic case of a guy for whom football is the highest paying available job.
