    That is bad news. Miller as replacement is just..........I don't even want to go there. He is the nearly, near man. Never consistent enough in his play to be considered as good as an average pro like Carsley. I defy anyone to show me a game he has controlled from midfield since he left Celtic. And I don't mean Roy Keane or Stephen Reid like control. I mean Carsley like control. Just making simple short passes to a team mate throughout a game. I hope you mean Andy Reid and not Miller.

    wars for freedom have something to do with that.
    Sorry for going into politics-I had to reply on Finnparks post.
    Those Scots were largely responsible for the atrocities in Ireland

    Montenegrin is a good poster, and I like his insight. Don't know why FinnPark is trying to provoke him.

    But in fairness I think a lot of us have said that Montenegro will be a dark horse and very capable of doing well in this group.

    We know the limitations of our own team but its reasonable that people will expect (a close) win.

    Montenegro don't listen to FinnPark he is just trying to wind you up. Historically we are nothing like the Scots. They brown nosed the English and profited from their Empire while we fought wars at times against the Brits and at other times for them but rarely profited from either.

    Anyway I respect your country and any small country who has fought for and earned it's independence against a great power as is the case with our own proud nation (we fought the greatest empire the world had ever seen). Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it even though I reckon my great grandparents were probably collaborators.

    Miller unfortunately.
    That report was from RTE reporter on the spot. She is the one who named Miller that he was being lined up, sounded definite, like she was in the know.
    I listen carefully to these reports to detect any bull

    S Reid will face a late fitness test, a knee injury.

    It was the Scottish empire as much as the English. Hence the term "British Empire".

    Anyway the main point is: Finnpark is an idiot.

    My trust in Trap is being seriously stretched if Miller gets his game above Andy Reid.

    Ignore him. It's going to be tough. If Miller replaces Reid then I may openly weep. It's a tough environment with a very geed up crowd. I'd take a draw right now.
    There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.

    Are you seriously suggesting Liam Miller has any physical attributes in common with those 3 or that Miller can tackle or shield a defence?

    Trap says he's optimistic Reid will be fit. Now, where's my dinner?

    Reid came through the training session, so it's a matter of waiting to see if there is any reaction.

    I was watching Channel 5's coverage on Saturday and I could have sworn that Trap told Brady to tell Andy Reid to warm up in the second half (Just after Whelan scored). They had a microphone close to Trap and that is what he seemed to say. Anyone else catch that? I was amazed when Miller came on instead.

    Yeah i saw Reid warming up. I reckon once we got the second goal Trap decided to throw on Miller instead.

    A huge point I think everyone has missed, Montenegro's jerseys is almost identical to the Macedonia one Red and yellow!!

    Quietly confident about this game, i sincerely believe there is a great opportunity here after the wkds results. If we have 6 points heading into the Cyprus game at home, already we will be in a very strong position.

    I think Reid will be fit, sincerely hope so, IMO he is fast becoming one of the players we cant afford to be without.

    I wouldn't get offended about what Finnpark is posting mate, he's been posting boll1x all day. Not really noticed much of him before but it's obvious that he's a wind up merchant or if not then an utter cretin.

    Fair play to you for posting on here, it's been interesting to read. hope it's a good game tomorrow but that you're left waiting a little longer for your first win! Best of luck with the rest of the campaign!

    To be honest with you, you are completely in the wrong forum - you seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that people here know what they are talking about. I've never heard this allegation before and there are many, many, who would take offence at the suggestion, if they had the wit to comprehend.

    You will variously find views along these lines, all typical of people who know nothing about football :

    Keane is rubbish.
    Keane is rubbish and should be replaced with Daryl Murphy - your mate Finnpark (bless).
    McGeady is rubbish.
    McShane is class and a move to Barcelona is likely (& this is one of the bosses).
    Extolling the virtues of Graham Kavanagh (appreciate you may never have heard of him) as an international.
    Delight at Kilbane breaking his face & therefore (incorrectly called) likely to miss the Georgia game.
    John O'Shea should be left at home, regardless of the options (see McShane above).
    Northern Ireland are a better team.
    .....oh and that the Pogues are rubbish.


    I just dont want to disappoint you .... before you read any further.

    Given the conditions (predicted to be 37 degrees Celsius), and the possible injury situation to Stephen Reid, I think if I was offered a draw right now I'd take it.

    The idea of a Whelan-Miller partnership scares the **** out of me.
