I think Geysir's explanation is probably the best bet (better than Trap is a nutcase, as true as that might be)...

As he posted, perhaps with McShane next in line for an emergency call Trap wants to get a close look at him from the start to see how he goes. Particularly since Foley isn't fit, so right back cover may be needed.

Fuppin missed my train by 2 minutes, beer garden it is for me today.

Sejad Salihovic is a doubt for them, injured in training. Also expected to start two up front: Dzeko and Ibisevic.

We'll see how it goes with them together. Offhand, Whelan would be my choice to play alongside Gibson, but Andrews offers more mobility and energy.
It would be craic if Trap replaced Whelan with Andrews at half time, to see which of them plays best with Gibson.

Good craic or bad craic?

**geysir** · 26/05/2012, 12:31 PM

Sure I only hope for good when it comes to the Irish team.
Such a scenario could indicate that Gibson has moved up the scale on merit as distinct from moving up because others are dropping down.
I'm sure Paul would understand me.

Anyone got an English-language stream or a Sopcast channel?

Can't remember the last time there was a kickoff at this time for an Ireland match.

For the link above, how the hell do I get the "you are missing xvideo plugin" thing to go away. It's whiting out the video stream, can hear the audio. Normally can just x it out, or just click on full screen and it goes away, not working.

Wales a few years ago?

Sounds like a really upbeat atmosphere for a friendly for a change. Great stuff.

You should be able to find a little 'x' hidden away somewhere. They conceal them quite well. Might have been down the bottom-left.

**pineapple stu** · 26/05/2012, 2:08 PM

So anything happening? Turns out nowhere in Chiang Mai has Sky Sports, and that stream is giving a rake of dodgy "You won" pop ups (and I've already been told in one internet cafe that I can't watch streams...)

Edit - sorry, got it. Stupid fake xs.

**geysir** · 26/05/2012, 2:11 PM

It's getting harder to find those x's, I found it on the sound control icon, with the help of a magnifying glass.

3 hoofs in the 1st minute

**boysingreen** · 26/05/2012, 2:11 PM

Thanks a mil DannyInvincible, got fooled by the dummy x's, finally found the red ones!

Look carefully there should be a little x in the the top left. There is also a false x and the real one of top left of that I think.

If the Spanish are watching this, surely they're shaking in their boots lol

**zero** · 26/05/2012, 2:27 PM

gibson has given the ball away about five or six times already. i thought whelan should have had a pen, looked definite to me but i guess i'm biased.

mcclean hasn't really been in the game so far.

It's the Eurovision song contest tonight, I am quite surprised there are other matches which clash with it, could cause a bit of friction in some families!!
Jedward takes takes precedence!!
