When Paul Rowan and Liam Kelly were spotted at Malahide, Trapattoni told his senior players not to talk to detractors.
or
Ipswich Town today had to deny rumours that the club is to sign two Irish internationals. Giovanni Trapattoni apologised for the misunderstanding. "All I said was that Dunne and O'Shea were going to da tractor, boys."
Trapatoni must have picked up the north dub lingo then....
Its actually all a little low key at the moment, but am sensing anticipation starting to rise in the last day or so. Few people round the office starting to talk about etc. The last few days has been more about the rugger team flying out to NZ (Who cares?!)Quote:

The struggle to get work done by lunchtime Friday is starting to loom, all the time checking this place.
My Keith Andrews one was obviously too subtle :DQuote:

Id go with that too bring back
For once its not our players flying around on transfer deadline day to get a deal done. Slovakian player Marek Cech was given permission to fly to Turkey today to sign for Trabzonspor from West Brom.
I'm sure he'll be flying back to meet up with the squad in Dublin but that can't be great preparation for Friday.
My apologies. My new job means only fleeting access to foot.ie. I missed it completely. Plagiarism accusation accepted. Guilty as charged.Quote:

I'm not sure what they expect of me. Until I find out I'm only flicking in and out of football sites.

More of the same on Friday, please. :)
We got a lot of slices of fortune that day, including a couple from the ref. George was remarkably restrained in his reaction to Gary Kelly's red card.
Oh aye we were steeped in it. We were due it though. More of that this week please.
I think it was one of the most nerve-racking I can remember as we were so under the kosh, especially in the last ten minutes or so, and had been treading an extremely fine line from the very outset. McAteer's goal was completely unexpected. Didn't Holland have about 4 of 5 strikers on the pitch by the end? Crazy.Quote:

Time flies when you're not qualifying for things.
Predictions anybody for the double header?
What would you be happy with points wise?
