    I can't wait. The evenings are getting shorter. The mornings are fresher. The leaves are just starting to turn. It can only mean one thing - a competitive international coming up.

    .... Kerry are in another All-Ireland decider. Isn't that right Bonnie Shels?

    Totally on a tangent, I wonder what Eirebhoy would be making of the group now. He's missed.

    For what its worth I think the Friday evening kicks off are not good at all from an attendance point of view. For lads coming up the country it more or less means a day off work. Now before some smart ass says it, I know the Macedonia game was on a saturday, but the magnitude of this game is even greater. I really hope the place is near full (premium level defo wont be), we need to get the first real big win at the Aviva, the one we were meant to get last year against Russia.

    Dan McDonnell doing his best to support the Indo with some teaser tweets on Trap:

    McDonnellDan Daniel McDonnell
    Slightly odd stuff from Trap today. Arrived in and started talking about the drinking habits of players - unprompted. Full quotes tomorrow.

    Obviously felt the need to say something. Otherwise, he was in good form. Repeated his usual criticism on English football after weekend.

    Trap was at Aston Villa-Wolves & said - not for first time - that Kevin Doyle would have needed to hold up an umbrella to take the ball down

    I think that's what he meant anyway. Full roundup from seniors and U21s [J McCarthy spoke today] tomorrow. Also @RuaidhriOC on Rovers duty.

    Emmet Malone's piece on today's press conference is up. In tried and tested Trap style, it's utterly bizarre.

    “They haven’t the style of play. They are not good players but they are very important. For us last season in every game I asked why he plays always for his team. Why? Because the manager understands his quality.

    “He’s not McGeady, he’s not Duff. But he is always present. In the football there are two situations, when you have the ball, and when you don’t. Like Arsenal and Manchester United. We need to take this ball. Stephen Hunt is an important player."


    I think I understand what he means but it's still laughable. Comparing Hunt to Paul Green? Comparing Gattuso to Paul Green?! Oy vey.

    Is he saying Gattuso isn't a good player? And has he been reading some bizarro-world version of foot.ie where everyone is full of platitudes for Paul Green?

    He's comparing the mentality of those players, not their talent.

    Indeed, I was being flippant. But he does lump them together talent wise too: "They haven't the style of play. They are not good players..."
