Flabs, Bulgaria is still a very tough opponent, by no means are we guaranteed a win against them. but we can, all going well.
And remember the other three 'smaller' teams are all able of an upset.
i'm saying we "would" beat them if we had a good manager on board, which hopefully we'll get.
and i know that about the small teams as i've noted to gaga_4_parma, but obviously we should win against them.

Under-estimation of the Bulgarians smacks of the same sort of behaviour from the UK press in the lead up to both Croatian matches for England. Just so wrong and so limited in terms of knowledge.
Flabarama, limited in terms of knowledge? Get outta here!

Not on recent evidence you shouldn't. It'd be difficult to bet on Ireland away in any of those games, didn't they lose about 5-2 last time in Cyprus?

Congratulations on perpetuating the belief that the Irish are simpletons.

Haha..."small teams"? You don't classify R.O.I as a small team? Bulgaria have more history then Ireland in football...ffs.
On top of that most of their players have atleast played in Europe CL/UEFA Cup and play for at the highest level in their respective leagues, for the most part anyways.
The golden generation might have gone...but Bulgaria are by no means a "small team" in footballing terms.

jesus has once again wept.
please read my big post especially for you further up the page. it shows that montenegro, georgia and cyprus are the "small teams" but able to cause an upset. we shouldn't let that happen i've also added in another post.
