The Boys in Green and Amanda's Movie Minute

 

****DON'T FORGET**** if you miss any of the show during the week you can catch up on all the best bits on The Best of Colm & Jim Jim every Saturday morning on 2fm from 9am.

 

THE BOYS IN GREEN

 

Not surprisingly, much of the talk this morning was about Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Italy tomorrow night in Croke Park. Fingers crossed that Ireland can somehow produce a win and make for a very exciting Wednesday night against Montenegro.

So with so many possible outcomes, we asked Amanda who was on sport today to come up with all the permutations as to who will qualify from Group 8 after tomorrow and Wednesday's set of matches... and she had to explain it all in 30 seconds!!!! And somehow she managed it although you'd be forgiven if you missed a bit as she had to speak in Dave Fanning style to do it so here it is written down where you can take much longer than 30 seconds to study it.

 

If Ireland get no points, they could finish third but only if Bulgaria win both games

 

If Ireland get only one point, second place could come down to goal difference, but again only if Bulgaria win both games

 

If Ireland get two points or three points, second place is theirs regardless of Bulgaria's results

 

If Ireland get four points and the Italians don't get any points, top spot will come down to goal difference.

 

If Ireland fail to win both games and Italy get at least one point Italy finish top

 

But if Ireland win both matches and Italy only draw against Cyprus, then Ireland will top the group.

 

And to get you in the mood for tomorrow night's big game, here's a link to the classic Put Em Under Pressure on YouTube which we played on the show today - the clip is taken from RTE's Reeling In The Years and has some great pictures of those heady days of Italia 90... fingers crossed those glory days could be here again... COME ON IRELAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

And while we're on the nostalgia trail, below is the rather hilarious Mick McCarthy's Baby that Jim Jim put together back in 2002.

 

 

 

 

 

 

AMANDA'S MOVIE MINUTE

This week Amanda's Movie Minute featured "Up", the latest animated feature from Pixar and according to our Amanda, it's worth the hype. It hits cinemas this weekend, with some places even showing it in 3D so grab the kids (or if you don't have kids, don't worry because this is one for everyone) and get yourself down to your nearest cinema pronto.
