Can't be if Brady's reporting that Duff is OK.
Why am I getting really nervous?? Please God let it not be Duffer...
FAI stream has just gone live: http://new.livestream.com/accounts/f...s/announcement
This is ridiculous. I'm nervous before a squad announcement. I'm hoping it doesn't give the detractors ammo from the off. Kerr was already spouting his predictable guff in The Irish Times. I want a nice bold statement from this squad announcement.
They've spelt squad wrongly on that stream. My daughter just pointed that out. Smart girl.
Whose the blonde one?
From FAI on Twitter:
Given, Westwood, Forde, Dunne, O'Shea, St.Ledger, O'Dea, Ward, Kelly, Foley, Whelan, Gibson, Andrews, Fahey, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, McClean, Keane, Doyle, Cox, Long, Walters.
STANDBY: Randolph, McShane, Green, Coleman, Keogh.
McCarthy not even on standby...

is he reading them out in the order they were picked?
just mentioned something about McCarthy.
McCarthy's father is ill. Sad to hear.
Did RTE have the squad up before Trap read it out?
Aware of the information? Was mccarthy meant to release that statement already or just that we knew it was personal reasons he wouldn't be able travel.
IMO I think McCarthy would have gone if he was a cert starter so he could honour his dad, but sitting on the bench while he has cancer for 3 weeks I can see why he pulled out.
statement released by McCarthy, his dad has been diagnosed with cancer and he had to withdraw
The FAI tweeted it before Trap appeared.
McCarthy's father has been diagnosed with cancer. Here's his statement:

positive talk from trap about mccarthy being the future. Good to hear.
gutted for McCarthy, happy with the squad, and the players on stand by
Trapattoni mentioned speaking to each player on standby. I'd like him to have finished it with "**** you, Brian Kerr"
