Did a quick check on the website. When I totalled the numbers of tickets available in each block I got to 4187, so roughly 47000 sold in theory. Should be more or less sold out by Wednesday if the theory holds up.Quote:

"it’s important to see them work with the squad” Yes it is, but does that mean they will play against the Czechs?
I wouldn't hang my hat on it just yet.
Article says Fahey and Kelly will return to their clubs, so I presume that means they're ruled out? Says Ward sat out training too so could be a doubt.
Any of you going to this?
yep, I'm going
Me too!
according to the You Boys In Green twitter feed, expected attendance is around 35,000
Would've went but can't afford the time off work. Looking forward to a decent friendly though with a good atmosphere for a change.
According to Dan O'Donnell, Stephen Henderson will be called up to replace Westwood.
I thought Darren Randolph would be next in lineQuote:

James McClean? Well he did play there occasionally for City...Quote:

From the FAI's twitter feed:
Starting XI for Czech match: Given, O'Shea, O'Dea, St. Ledger, Ward, Duff, Whelan, Andrews, McGeady, Keane and Long
...typically the FAI only named 10 players! Ward was the missing player.
No surprises cept Long. Good to see he's taking a hard look at the striking options, especially since Shane missed out recently.
Edit - On second thought I am a little surprised to see we're only fielding 10 players...according to other twitter info Ward is at LB. Also Keith Fahey and Kevin Doyle have been sent back to clubs, declared not fit to play.
Fahey and Doyle sent back to their clubs too.Quote:

Long has only played a couple of times as a late sub in the last 2 months.
He must have looked sharp in training.
Long and McGeady might well be the candidates to be subbed first.
