Typical FAI. :rolleyes:

I think I'll be watching the Setanta game rather than that non-entity of a friendly.

Is the China game definitely on Tuesday the 29th?
If so, why?
For Sky Sports?
Can't seen Brian Kerr getting anything new from watching Switzerland v Cyprus or Israel v France for that matter.
He's unlikely to want to fly straight back to Israel just for that game anyway.

I read in one of the papers at the weekend that Kerr choose to have the games on a Tuesday as it allows the players to get back to their clubs a day earlier and keeps their managers sweet.

It also facilitated his trips to watch some other teams in the group compete against each other on the Wednesday but I can't see him needing to go to such effort on this particular match date.
I hope it's on Wednesday because the game may struggle to sell anyway without having to compete with a domestic fixture.
