I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

I have a feeling we are going to lose both of these somehow and be looking for a new manager on Sept 7th.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Russian bookings so far:
2 Anyukov (Ireland away, Macedonia away)
2 Ignashevich (Macedonia away, Armenia home)
1 Denisov (Ireland away)
1 A.Berezutski (Ireland away)
1 V.Berezutski (Armenia home)
1 Bilyaletdinov (Andorra away)
1 Zhirkov (Slovakia home)
1 Zyryanov (Macedonia away)
1 Shiskin (Armenia away)
If any of the 1s get a second against Macedonia in Moscow then they will be out for our game. I'm not sure about the 2s (would a 3rd yellow also mean another ban ?) Quite a few of them are defensive players and I think if Denisov or Zyryanov were out it could mean our midfield might be a bit less exposed out in Moscow.
john toshak's macedons will put up a feeble resistance i expect.
however i did read somewhere that it's a funny old game.
i would agree with this - i'd be happy with duff up against whichever full back is the weaker of the two. mcgeady is going to be mcgeady whoever he's up against. the same applies to hunt.
duff has the nous to take advantatge of mistakes and create opening that our other wide players probably don't.
except keogh of course.
Darron Gibson may be an injury doubt according to this report.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...chester-united
Anyone else notice the time is off on Foot.ie?Darron Gibson's proposed departure from Manchester United has been placed in doubt after he damaged ankle ligaments in training, an injury that could sideline him for at least four weeks.
I'm posting this at 22.57
O'Shea return a Bruce Boost
Trap similarly boosted I would imagine.
A good run out for Josh this weekend will do!
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?

Nice job Joe.
Too bad Sledge didn't get a run out.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
T˛ (Trap and Tardelli) are at the West Brom vs Stoke game today.
Long nearly scored I hear, thwarted by a great save from Begovic.
Fahey has pulled out of the squad with a groin problem: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2011/...ia_russia.html
Birmingham midfielder Keith Fahey has withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Slovakia and Russia through injury.
Fahey, an unused substitute in his club's 2-2 npower Championship draw at Watford, has been ruled out with a groin problem.
