This is correct. It's the US that requires the candidate to be a natural born citizen. The rules of eligibility for Ireland were basically copied from the US, with Dev inserting that one distinction to make sure he was eligible.

Wasn't there a (half-serious) campaign to have Roy Keane run for President post-Saipan? I hate this country sometimes.

Well, if Kevin was ever persuaded to run he'd get my vote and the vote of many others - I couldn't think of a better person to run in my opinion - the work he does for charity alone is well known

Yeah.

It was in the Mail on Saturday that he would be heading over for that game.

It's not as far fetched to see him as a president. However, outside of football circles would he ever garner votes?

He's a ledge and I have to say I don't ever think we'll ever see the likes of him ever. :)

dare i say it...

Still our best left back?

I think Clark was poor because of the general uncertainty of the inexperienced back four. He will have learned from this game.

Yes, caught out of position on a number of occasions. I saw an animated discussion between Trap and Tardelli after yet another raid down our left and two minutes later Delaney came on. Looks like Killer has the spot for a few more games yet.

If KK gets his coaching badges he certainly would be a lad you would like to have around the squad in years to come. Model attitude.

Just given Huddersfield the lead in their League 1 playoff match v Bournemouth

''Kevin Kilbane finds the back of the net with a headed goal from inside the six-yard box. Bournemouth 0-1 Huddersfield.''

A perfect header according to Soccer Saturday - just out of reach of the goalkeeper.

Scored a peno in the shoot out as well. Killer is alive and kicking in his new role in central midfield.

Exactly. Leave him there. He's just not an international full-back any more.

still our best LB option so he will be an international LB for a while more

I have to say I would say both Ward and Delaney are better options than Kilbane now. Cunningham too, when he gets back from his injury. Clark also.

I love Kilbane, but we can't play the guy forever. He isn't good enough anymore. We can't expect to win this group with League One utility players, depite how dedicated to the cause they may be or how good they weree in the past.

ward maybe an option but the other two are well off proving themselves at club level never mind international

From what I've seen, Villa fans rate Clarke very highly

Hardly. He's a liability in every game he plays there.

He's so slow and gets turned far too easily.

Thought Clark did very well against Wales; looked comfortable, solid and assured. Like O'Shea, I think he could be equally handy in a number of positions, including LB. Lots of people are writing him off because of the Uruguay game, but inevitably it'll take him - or any other LB option - a few games to get properly settled in. If Clark starts and plays well against NI and Scotland, I'd have no problem with him becoming first-choice. That said, with Dunne out, we'll need all the experience we can get in Macedonia, and Kilbane hasn't been a liability for us lately.

Huddersfield were beaten 3-0 today in the League One play-off. Was Kilbane not just on loan to them? Does he go back to Hull next season so?

Really great game yesterday, he was the highlight of our back 4. If it weren't for Keane scoring a brace he'd be the man of the match.

Now theres something I NEVER thought I'd say. o_O

He was definitely the best of our back 4 but that is not saying much. He looked shaky at times and his distribution was awful. Kilbane has grown on me over the years and I'm a huge fan but at this stage of his career his legs really seem to have gone and looks like he's running in slow mo these days. Can't see him starting after the summer. (How many times has this been said though?)

Killer reminds me of John McClane. With each new installment you remark to yourself 'he shouldn't still be doing this' but he brings you 'round, kills some terrorists and saves the world in the end.

Given a few years to grow into the role Killer can be our left back for a couple of decades (at least) if he looks after himself and does'nt allow himself to get carried away by the razmatazz and the other distractions !:D

Always thought of him more like Rocky myself, no one rates him but he always goes the distance, gives every thing he has, and even comes out on top on occasion. Some seem to think that once Mick was gone his career should have been over but he just keeps coming back and I'm glad he does. Lets hope he has the same performance in Russia that Rocky did as well.

That looks like a very good deal for Derby and an odd one for Hull.

Nearly brought a tear to my eye reading it, it will be weird playing a Qualifier without him and were it not for a generally-despised diminuitive striker he'd be far and away my favorite Irish player.

Feel genuinely gutted. Can't remember the last time there was no Zinedine in a competitive squad. Said it all that I hadn't even done my Junior Cert at that stage!!! Now,look at me.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but what/when was our last competitive game without him?

Macedonia in October '99. Gary Kelly and Mark Kennedy played on the flanks.

After some hours of settling it is apparent that without our inspirational leader or engine we play like ****.
