I presume you mean holidaymaker-fans? I'd agree.

I'm trying to explain to my UK born 9 y/o that Ireland under M O'Neill playing away in Faro is totally different to another Ireland under M O'Neill playing in Faroes.

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.

Wes starts a match away from the aviva!!?

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.
