IT looks like the Republic of Ireland are playing for second place in their Euro 2012 qualifying group now after only drawing with Slovakia at home.

We will need a minor miracle to get above Russia. Tonight’s game in Moscow is massive and a few injuries have made the task even harder.

But with the last two qualifiers away to Andorra and home to Armenia that should be six points so there’s still plenty to play for.

It’s going to go down to the wire and hopefully Slovakia will slip up.
