    Tickets for game may be a problem only 500 tickets for us by the looks of things.

    Home leg will be much better. 100 quid for me, am worried about tickets though. But if not, should still be good in the pubs

    Could apply equally to us in fairness. Estonia's home form in their qualifying group was very poor but their defeat in the Faroe Islands overshadowed the fact that, like ourselves, they were better away from home - they won in both Slovenia and Serbia which demands respect. With the first leg being away I'm concerned Trap will consider 0-0 over there a good result when their record suggests we may need to do our damage there. I'm sure they'd love a scenario where we had to take the initiative at Lansdowne and allow them to counterattack.

    100 quid ain't bad! But, also, I can't go to this and the Cup Final if we get there...

    Should be a guaranteed sell out here. While you'd hope we'd be able to sell out Lansdowne for a playoff like this in our own right, any slack will be gladly taken up by Estonians living here - we've seen from our own European games Eastern Europeans will turn out in numbers when their teams hit town. Reckon they'd bring about 10,000 to this if they could get the tickets.

    Far fewer Estonians living here than most EU accession countires though. I'm not saying they won't sell their allocation either btw

    Always seemed to be plenty of Estonians here to me, maybe some of them were wily Russians and Ukranians letting on they were here legally.

    Estonia has a higher standard of living than the other accession countries from 2002 (?) Or whenever it was. Not much reason for them to come here in the first place, even back then.

    I remember reading an article a couple of years ago about some Scots who went to Tallin in the mid-90s for a qualifier. They saw the way the locals lived and fancied a piece of it themselves. A few hundred of them never went back.

    One of my exes used to hang around with a girl from Estonia. Was always too busy trying to stop myself from drooling to ever ask her about living conditions back home.

    If they lived in Glasgow a visit to feckin Chernobyl probably would have had much the same effect.
