The sellers did, of course, purchase their tickets in the hope we’d be playing Denmark or North Macedonia with a place in the USA/Canada/Mexico at stake, but ... ah look, you know yourself. Go to the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday to see North Macedonia head coach Goce Sedloski in person. You can be sure both the Irish and North Macedonia squads and their management would prefer to undergo a colonic irrigation procedure than fulfil this fixture. If you don’t turn up, you’ll have had a North Macedonia. 3 It is said by people who know these things that Dursey Island off the Beara Peninsula in Cork is the farthest point from the Aviva Stadium in Ireland (330km).
