    The management/medical team have obviously decided not to enforce the rule, so I think it would be reasonable to assume they've been provided with sufficient medical evidence to substantiate Bournemouth's injury claims.

    What you're saying is tantamount to accusing Arter of going AWOL without any consultation with our management or medical team. That's a pretty serious allegation and it's totally groundless.

    Yes. McCarthy's attitude is a refreshing contrast to that of Arter's. Meyler, too, will always turn up and give 110% to the cause. Hourihane can come in and give us a bit of impetus and goalscoring threat.

    I agree it would be best to go with Long up front and bring on the aerial bombardment (Walters, Murphy) for the last 20 minutes if Plan A doesn't work.

    Hopefully we will get a better outlook on Hoolahan once he shows up in Dublin so we can get a look at him.

    And you're not privy to the full facts. You have very little insider info. Thus, your opinion isn't worth a huge deal.

    He didn't get injured yesterday, it's entirely possible he wouldn't be fit for Friday, or even to take part in training this week, but after two weeks in Dubai he'll have recovered

    6 starters potentially out for Friday.

    You would take the draw.

    O'Shea and Keogh started against Germany and absorbed a similar amount of pressure to what we should expect on Friday. Ward & Coleman are first choice full backs. Randolph is deservedly first choice goalkeeper. Whelan and Hendrick would probably be starting anyway. McCarthy hasn't been ruled out. Meyler impressed more than Arter against Austria IMO and has filled in admirably several times inc. Germany. We can choose between McGeady, McClean, Horgan, Walters and others for the wide positions. Our two best options to play up front (Long, Murphy) are both available and neither are guaranteed to start.

    All this and I haven't mentioned Conor Hourihane who could come in and do a job for us.

    It's not doom and gloom.

    Though it would be a bit worrying if O'Shea or Keogh were to pick up a knock.

    All fair points. I'm not worried about who can step in. We have plenty of experience to choose from.

    Losing out on Arter, Wes and Brady in particular hurts us creatively. Hendrick in particular will have to step up.

    With a full squad to choose from I would put us slight favourites. As it stands now, with Wales desperate for a win, I have them slight favourites.

    I predict a score draw which all things considered would be a good result.

    Agreed.
    Arter has been officially ruled out of the game because of an injury. It's standard procedure that an injured player remains with the club. If the club are moving en masse to Dubai, then he follows them and continues with his supervised rehab program. Any aspersion cast on Arter about this, is utter drivel.

    Substitute Gibson for Hourihane or O'Kane and you've got quite a good looking attack (biggest fear is that Whelan will be included in the starting 11 - guaranteed not to win if that's the case).
    Also a pity Liam Kelly doesn't have a year or two more under his belt. He's just the type of player we need in this team.

    I think Gibson gives you that incisive crisp passing to open things up for the pace of long McLean and mcgeady. O Kane is tidy and neat but doesn't have that passing quality and I can't see hourihane been given his first cap in such a big game

    Well there is no way Gibson and Whelan are playing in the same team and Whelan is probably going to be viewed as even more important than he already is due to the other personnel missing/potentially missing, so I just can't see Gibson featuring.

    Walters is a lock and MON seems to like Murphy.

    Can you imagine a team with Whelan, Gibson and Walters in it? They would run rings around us.

    I think Gibson is getting back into the swing of things. Give him until the summer to see if he can remain injury free and keep an eye on his progress. I think the tempo and feel of this game isn't a good match for him.

    I'm not terribly gone on O'Kane either from what I have seen of him.

    I would be far more in tune with throwing Hourihane in TBH. I think he's a confident lad who won't shirk the occasion and has the right mix of ingenuity and bite.

    Arter, Elliot, McShane, Clark, Kelly & McGoldrick out of Wales game. Pilkington, Gleeson, Gibson, Rooney, Doherty cut
    Hoolahan and McCarthy are still fighting for an opportunity to participate on Friday.
