Thanks for the clarity Paul. You're always here to help.
Seriously people, there's only one 'd' in Lansdowne!
I have a feeling we are going to lose both of these somehow and be looking for a new manager on Sept 7th.

If any of the 1s get a second against Macedonia in Moscow then they will be out for our game. I'm not sure about the 2s (would a 3rd yellow also mean another ban ?) Quite a few of them are defensive players and I think if Denisov or Zyryanov were out it could mean our midfield might be a bit less exposed out in Moscow.
john toshak's macedons will put up a feeble resistance i expect.
however i did read somewhere that it's a funny old game.
Nice one Chris. If either of those two were out, then it would be a godsend.Quote:

Darron Gibson may be an injury doubt according to this report.

Anyone else notice the time is off on Foot.ie?Quote:
Darron Gibson's proposed departure from Manchester United has been placed in doubt after he damaged ankle ligaments in training, an injury that could sideline him for at least four weeks.
I'm posting this at 22.57
Gibson injured, so McCarthy to be called up?
I can see Trap calling up Clifford instead, now that would be controversial...Quote:

Trap similarly boosted I would imagine.
A good run out for Josh this weekend will do!

Nice job Joe.
Too bad Sledge didn't get a run out.
T˛ (Trap and Tardelli) are at the West Brom vs Stoke game today.
Long nearly scored I hear, thwarted by a great save from Begovic.
Igor Akinfeev was taken off with a knee injury earlier. Should be out for them.
Fahey has pulled out of the squad with a groin problem: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2011/...ia_russia.html
Quote:
Birmingham midfielder Keith Fahey has withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Slovakia and Russia through injury.
Fahey, an unused substitute in his club's 2-2 npower Championship draw at Watford, has been ruled out with a groin problem.
