Hilarious that NI have brought journalists with them but no Irish ones allowed in. Oh FAI, never change (please change).

FAI promised updates on Twitter yesterday but never bothered, not that we need them now.

Cox and McShane started too by the looks of it: https://twitter.com/FAIreland/status/606442649906724865

Cox was dropped from the squad. It has to be someone else. Murphy?

Ah, that could be Murphy so. Looks like I was taken in by that twitter account, it's a joke.

You sure?

It's fairly mundane for a p!ss-take.

Maybe there was just a mistake about Cox, or did he claim to see a teamsheet in earlier tweets?

EDIT: never mind, you are talking about a different twitter account. I thought you were talking about the Conor McLaughlin account.

Cox was just my own observation from the photo (which is genuine). It's the Conor guy who's on a wind-up.

So the FAI one is genuine (but not tweeting much) and the McLaughlin one is a windup?

Correct, yes. Some genuine ones here too: https://twitter.com/BrendyBoyle

Murphy and Keogh are 6 ft 3, same as myself. Everyone standing up is the same height give or take half an inch. Never knew Christie, Ward, Westwood and McGoldrick were that tall. I read McGoldrick was 6 ft even.

I'm 6ft 3 1/2 ".
Probably Stutts will claim that on a good day he's 6ft 4"

I'm 6 ft 2 ¾ in shoes so I am probably 6 ft 1 ¾ in bare feet.

Are footballers heights measured with or without shoes?

I would have guessed Stutts to be approximately 5 ft 10, age 45-50, receding hair, well educated, several kids.

I can't imagine Stutts as a tall guy for some reason.

yes, no, mmmmm, yes, and not several
5"10 is tall the average height in Ireland is about 5"7 according to this: http://www.irishexaminer.com/lifesty...ht-261075.html

but we digress....

you got 4/5 right!

Btw, was at the U21 game v England yesterday. I'll put a report up later, busy now. We are not lacking height, that's for sure.

Bump.

DeLores, what are you doing?
