    Interesting all the Oman players are called Oman, it must be a popular name there.

    Say what you like about Robbie Keane but he is a decent bloke.

    Well, yes, most of us have a head for a reason. I find it a useful place to store my hat.

    Not much else going on with it, alas...

    I just noticed how much Dennis Irwin sounds like Roy Keane, I have not hear him speak much in the past
    but he is doing the analysis with Kevin Kilbane on the stream I am watching. They are both form Cork so
    that kind of explains it I guess!!

    Keane goal (and open-goal miss!), that was a complete waste of time. Oman are going backwards.

    But now - no Keane. For the first time in half a lifetime for me. Was it the Belgium play off the last game before his debut? Given, Irwin, Cunningham, Staunton, Houghton, Townsend, Connolly, Cascarino...Who else played that day?

    In Russian? Or Greek? (Commentary)

    Jeff Kenna, Lee Carsley, Alan McLoughlin, Ian Harte, Mark Kennedy - David Kelly came off the bench too. http://ng.soccerway.com/matches/1997...public/630305/

    When you see those names blasted from the past, you really get a sense of how long he played, and near every minute of it at the top. There must be posters here who don't remember seeing Houghton, Townsend, Kelly playing.

    And other posters who are amazed we're a full generation removed from those players!

    Paul McGrath was picked out on the big screen tonight (to huge cheers and the sound of lots of kids asking their dad who that was).

    Had Shay Given been given a farewell cap tonight, then McGrath could have said he played alongside one of the players on the pitch. But maybe that's one for the Shay Given thread instead.

    Oman were one of the worst teams I've ever seen at international level.

    Walters can barely run anymore and he rounded the keeper like.

    Also, Walter's two goals puts him ahead of Ian Harte in the ROI goalscorer list. One more goal puts him joint 10th.

    Bobbins opponent brought in to give Keano his final hurrah. They were there to do a job and delivered what was expected. And it was a decent wee earner for the FAI into the bargain.

    Robbie earned his night in the limelight over decades rather than years. Everyone's a winner and onto the serious stuff now.
