    Would like to heard FIFA answer his question about Ireland been the only so called non seeds in the play offs that where away from home in the second leg . How and Why did this happen ?(Sorry did not see the draw at the time )


    Is the unfortunate answer to this question just that its the way the draw panned out?

    Yes, but he'd already decided to take a dive at that point.

    I guess they must have had a separate draw for who plays home first after the 'real' draw. Or something along the lines.

    But then you would think the manager of a participating nation would know what happened and why.
    Did he really ask that question? And is it really not transparent how this came about?

    The conspiracy theories are getting madder. This is the way the draw panned out. The draw, once it was confirmed it would be seeded would be drawn to indicate the tie first and then which team would play at home first.

    EDit: if this was just a curiousity question by you and not a conspiracy theory, ignore that bit.

    the idea of a game being replayed because of 1 poor call by the ref is laughable.

    especially when the french no doubt feel they had a stone wall penalty rejected (there was contact).

    if it was Liverpool, i'd say the exact same thing....did you see me calling for a replay after the beachball incident at Sunderland which was a far worse error by the ref.? no.

    refs make mistakes, players do what they can to seek an advantage. get over it to be honest.



    Ah ffs, even the FIFA website says that the ref made the correct decision there.

    As stated did not see the draw , And did not know the format of the draw. yes its was a bit of a curiousity question on my part ,, But I must say I was more/very curious as to why Trappatoni was asking the question in the First place .

    Italian football is notorious for corruption, so he's bound to be a bit paranoid I guess. I didn't see the big deal in play home/away second tbh.

    Disappointed with Trap. Hes diluting the argument by going on about referee selection and extra time in play offs. They aren't necessarily the issue, and its making out that we are just giving out about everything.

    He should have been more focussed in his criticism.

    think trap was reading my tweets

    "Here's another thing I don't understand - we get 90 minutes at home and so do they - but the next 30 minutes they get home advantage. about 21 hours ago from web"

    It something I have never quite understood.

    well it obviously wasnt such a big advantage if they couldnt finish off the tie in 90 mins
