Duff: It's an amazing feeling to qualify

Damien Duff admitted it was "about time" the Republic of Ireland booked their place in the finals of a major tournament after tonight's 1-1 draw with Estonia sealed Giovanni Trapattoni's men their berth at Euro 2012.

Estonia skipper Konstantin Vassiljev's strike denied the Republic victory in their play-off second leg but few at the Aviva Stadium would have had any complaints as the home side wrapped up a 5-1 aggregate win.
