Crosby you're not seven, stop posting like you are. It was funny for about 23 seconds six months ago.

I wasnt trying to be funny, Adam. If I were trying to be funny I would say Horse walks into a bar, bartender says Why the long face?
You guys said there Is no buzz on here and sometimes my links lead to conversation.

Actually very disappointed O'Kane has been cut. Thought he'd get a run out against Gibraltar.

Do we have a better CM than O'Kane at the moment? I despair at this management team's judgment.

Edit: I read a comment elsewhere that O'Kane, Pilkington and Rooney will return for Georgia game. Good, but strange.

I think every CM retained apart from maybe Meyler is better than O'Kane - I'd be happy to keep him in the squad but not too exercised about him being left behind after three decent EPL performances.

You're alright with me Cros, I even enjoyed 'female pro footballette' for some reason.

Yeah I'm don't necessarily agree that most of the ones retained are better, but I do think it's too early to tell. It's all well and good wanting to use these games to learn about guys we know little about, but it's probably fairer to use them to give game time to those who are in every squad but see very little game time. There's something to be said for having a happy camp too. If O'Kane keeps performing well in the PL, he'll get his chance soon enough.

Just read we have five players on yellow cards (Coleman, Whelan, McCarthy, McClean, Wilson) - anyone think O'Neill will leave them out to make sure they're available for Georgia?

Catch 22 in a way, chances are if they play on Monday, they'll miss Germany. I think he'll probably just play them.

That is strange alright. Surely they'd be even less likely to feature against the superior Georgia. Was there no room for them on the flight to Faro or something?

Something must have happened up the road because the police just charged at everyone. We put our hands up to say we didn�t want any trouble. I got a baton into the leg, another friend was hit in the waist and another in the arm. I fell and got hit on the back. I ran and a cop chased me down the road and cracked me on the back of the legs again. I went down with my hands on my head and an Irish guy came and dragged me away.

We were literally just standing there talking. We didn�t even have our voices left to sing before the police attacked. It was extremely heavy handed stuff.

The best we can hope for here is a goal or two in the first half to take the sting out of things followed by a low key coast to victory. Hard to get excited when precisely the the thing you are hoping for is no excitement.

There was someone (possibly on here) who booked flights to Faro when we played the Faroes.

I wonder has anyone booked flights to the Faroes for this one?

Coleman and Wilson rested, presumably to protect them from yellow cards. McCarthy and Hendrick played in spite of minor knocks.

I wonder what we'll line up like. There's no obvious wingers there. I'm wondering if it's two up top with Hoolahan in the hole or Hoolahan to the left and Walters to the right of Keane?

My take is Hoolahan behind Keane and Walters, with Brady and Christie playing more like wing backs.
