The happy, sad, and downright confused reaction to our Euro 2016 play-off draw

Ah crud

Kevin McGillicuddy

Well it could have been way fecking worse.

The dream lives on for Euro 2016 after we managed to avoid two of the major big guns in this morning’s draw for Euro 2016 but did get drawn with against a well-oiled Bosnia-Herzegovina outfit.

At least we avoided Ukraine and Sweden, but the one we all hoped for, Hungary, well they are going to be playing Norway.

Crud.

The dates for the games will be announced later and the reaction this morning was a mixture of joy, despair and blind confidence.

The FAI were hoping that a certain Southampton man could be a good omen for our only previous meeting

The ex-pros knew it was a tricky one

The Irish journalists were hardly delighted

But at least their colleagues across the water were a bit more positive

The game is a chance to try out a few obvious puns too.

And of course for others ‘In Wes we Trust’
