Just wondering what French players are carrying yellow cards into the Faroes game? If the fishermen rough them up a bit, there my be a couple of suspensions for the Lansdowne Road game, which would only work to our advantage.
Anyone out there have the stats??
Also, Domenech looks to be playing Kerr-style mindgames - hinting at not picking Vieira for the Ireland match. What a load of rubbish...
Vieira axe “possible” – Domenech

France head coach Raymond Domenech admits he may not recall former captain Patrick Vieira to the side for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands in Lens.
Vieira sat out the friendly win over the Ivory Coast last month after picking up an injury in the warm-up.
His replacement, Paris St Germain’s former AC Milan star Vikash Dhorasoo, made a major impression in that game, pulling the strings in midfield and teeing up his side’s third goal for striker Thierry Henry with a stunning pass into the path of the Arsenal man.
And Domenech has refused to rule out the possibility that he will leave Vieira – stripped of the captaincy following Zinedine Zidane’s return to the fold – out of his side for the meeting with the Group Four minnows on Saturday night.
When asked if he would omit the Juventus star, Domenech said: “It’s possible. I’ll answer that question closer to the match. I will announce the team on Friday. That’s all I’m prepared to say.”
