Two Irish fans have made a brilliant Father Ted inspired banner for the Ireland vs. Austria match

We'll try anything at this stage...

Signor Trap may have just named his side for tomorrow evening’s game but, following the home defeat to Sweden on Friday,  it’s hard to get ourselves overly excited about the must-win-but-it-really-doesn’t-matter match against the Austrians in Vienna.

Some Irish fans who have made the journey to the Austrian capital though have turned to a certain bastion of Irish wisdom in the desperate search for last-minute hope and inspiration – that’s right, they watched Father Ted.

Check out the brilliant banner below which Thomas and John James Kelly have designed for the game – “Is there anything to be said for saying another Mass?”

It’s a novel approach alright and we reckon Trap and the Boys in Green will take any help that’s going at this stage.

We’re not sure which drinks they actually ordered at the bar but let’s hope they haven’t been stealing Father Ted’s Communion wine. Although if they really think we’re going to qualify for the World Cup though then it’s probably two pints of crazy juice.

Enjoy the game lads, we’ll be keeping an eye out for you in the crowd.

Thanks to Thomas and JJ Kelly for the picture via Twitter.
