Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Press conference at 5.30pm at Thomond Park on Wednesday.
Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.
Any idea how tickets are selling for this game? Far too expensive for a stand ticket in particular imo.
Agree. Going for side terrace for the 2 Thomond games.
This was a great chance for FAI to give recognition to Block Bookers who took tickets for this game by reducing the prices from 55 to 40, 35 to 25 and 25 to 20.
Don't know for sure, but I heard these tickets are dearer that it was to see Munster in the Heiniken Cup.

As a matter of interest what do you expect/want as your squad?
Mine would be:
Given
Westwood
B. Murphy
Kilbane
Delaney
O'Shea
Dunne
St. Ledger
Finnan (if fit)
Foley
Kelly
Duff
McGeady
Lawrence
S. Hunt
Andrews
Whelan
J.McCarthy
Gibson
Keane
Doyle
Folan
Best/N. Hunt
If it was an extended squad I'd consider places for McCann, Delap, Ward, O'Dea and some others.
will Steven Reid be fit for it?
Its really not that complicated!!!
I'm hoping Fahey will be given a chance.

Any chance Andy Reid is back?
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Brian Murphy plays in the LOI so no chance of getting a call up and whats up with having McCarthy in there and not Fahey?
Here on a technicality.
I'd imagine Trapp will use the get together as a means of preparing the senior players for the Cyprus match.
As for the game well that could be used to try out a few things and also give a chance for a few other players to impress.
I think we saw the value of that when Trapp played quite a few new players in the team against Nigeria, which can only be good for the players morale and the long term good of the national team.
If players are doing well for their clubs then friendlies and training get togethers are a good way of keeping these players involved in the set up, and ready if we should need them.
It also gives Trapp a chance to see if they are what he needs and are capable of stepping up to International level.
I think thats what Trapp is aiming to do long term, get players used to how he works and the systems he employs.
All in all this, can only be good for the Irish National team and set up.
Wonder will a certain guy from Man City be included?
I'd say Dunne and Given will defo be in the Squad
I doubt there'll be any huge surprises in this squad, as much as we'd all love to see Andy Reid back and James McCarthy or Sean Scannell given a call up the likliehood is that its just gonna be the same squad as last time and to be fair thats not nessecarily a bad thing
This is a great opportunity to give St Ledger & Foley more game time, can't see them making any more changes than that
You show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser - Vince Lombardi
Scanell hasnt done enough to warrant a call up yet, but he definately looks like he has a future
Its really not that complicated!!!
agreed, this game, and any training sessions that accompany it will be used to re-familiarise the squad with each other before the Cyprus game. If Reid/McCarthy/McCann/Fahey (accept it) was in unstoppable form then yes they should be called up, but with no games played by the time of the Australia game there's no justification in changing what is a settled squad.
Any new caps should be handed out in the South Africa friendly, IMO
Keith Fahey will be included it seems!
Heard from a reliable source.
Are ya gonna tell us your source??
Its really not that complicated!!!
Nope.
Is fahy not injured??
roddy collins should be a comedian!!
