Did anybody read Sunday's Indo, whn Bobby Robson (Who I admire), asked the reporter if Ireland had any friendlies (otherthan the Swedish game), lined up prior to the qualification matches?
Now I don't know about the rest of you, but in his role as Advisor, which he has been officially acting as for almost two weeks now, he should know what fixtures are in place. Sounds like a breakdown in communication already....thats not like the FAI is it?
i heard we have lined up a friendly at home to spain. dont know when it is. its not on the fai website.
You think he would have made it his business to find out. You admire Robson who hasn't bothered to find out about his job and you blame the FAI for his failings...if in doubt, blame the FAI :rolleyes: It's his job to find out. Not to ask reporters.Quote:

Is there a game against Holland at some stage too?
Yes, nothing about a SPanish friendly but there is a friendly against Holland on the website:Quote:

Will you pass that info on to Bobby in case he won't be talking to Staunton before then?Quote:
