Westwood, Coleman, O'Shea, Wilson, Ward, McGeady, Whelan, McCarthy, McClean, Hoolahan, Keane
This is madness. 80 minutes to kick-off and we haven't heard the line-up yet. Normally we'd have ten pages debating the merits of selecting Marc Wilson or the doc at this point.
Westwood, Coleman, O'Shea, Wilson, Ward, McGeady, Whelan, McCarthy, McClean, Hoolahan, Keane

That's quite an offensive selection. I assume the usual suspects will be declaring O'Neill to be senile for picking Stephen Ward?
Two fingers to Trap with the inclusion from the start of Wes? not sure he had that many options at the back.
She killed our anthem again
She's nice looking though!
that was some strike form McCarthy thought it was in
Get in.....greece 1-0 up against romania
Lativa not trying a leg to get forward, Ireland having loads of wide possession but deliver not great so far.
Well done Robbie. All he does is score.
"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
Well, its a lot more pleasing on the eye, knocking the ball about in the final third, but the Latvians are typical of so many away teams in international friendlies - don't wanna be there. It's tough for us to break through though we could be a little more direct like when McClean burst past for the woeful near post shot. Most of the play is unfortunately coming down the limited Ward/McClean side with both over playing it when a direct ball in could prove more useful. Are the Latvians actually doing something right by closing off the space for the far more dangerous Coleman/McGeady combo?
Wes is a nice player but will never be the answer. He was a stick to beat Trappers with but at his age and with his hole on the Norwich bench I reckon we will be moving on from him in the next year. Would like to see McGeady in his role.
The dude abides....
Time for Big Andy!!
What a cracker!!
Latvia are awful......really poor.
On a brighter note....greece have gone 3-1 up against romania...... euro 2016 second seedings looks to be ours now
65% possesion - that's the biggest stats from this game - at least now we are trying to hold onto the ball - thank god trap is gone!
Lovely third goal, Coleman at his brilliant best.
Walters to Coleman to Long (for Long's goal). 2 have scored in the Prem in the last two weeks, one is one of the Prem's best right-backs and 2 were subs for this game. And we have no players...
Ireland playing nice pressing stuff, even though the opposition is poor. Things are looking up. At least positivity has been restored.
