    I like the part in band of brothers when they storm Into Austria. That's what you chaps will do. And Gerald Mcraney, from major dad, was there. its all working out. Can you imagine Stutts and Tets dancing passionately in Red Square, while Posh picks up all of your litter like in Bari? Taciturn Charlie Darwin in a heated argument with a Russian cab driver? The late Colbert Report being memorialized by foot.ie members in Gorky park? It's all possible.

    How come Bavaria isn't it's own country? Also, just saw on wiki that Moldova is the poorest country in Europe. Does that make a trip there more or less appealing to you adventurous chaps?

    My biggest fear is Nigel Harps around those Austrian bakeries. His gout will flare up.

    I was thinking tonight about who will and won't be about for this campaign.

    Given, Forde, O'Shea, Doyle & Keane will all retire before the next campaign starts. Possibly some or all of Whelan, Hoolahan, Walters & Murphy.

    Hopefully the combination of Duffy & Clark will be the bedrock of the side for many years to come.

    Whelan and Walters will almost certainly continue on. I'd say it's the end of the road for everyone else.

    I would hope Doyler, Whelan, Walters and Hoolahan continue on.

    Squad for qualifying

    Randolph, Westwood, Elliott

    Coleman, Christie, Doherty, Wilson, Duffy, Clark, Keogh, Pearce, Hoban, Ward, Cunningham, Williams

    McCann, McCarthy, Gibson, Meyer, Quinn, Arter, O'Kane, Hendrick, Byrne, Judge, Hayes, McClean, Pilkington, McGeady

    Long, Walters, Mason, Stokes, McGoldrick, Sheridan

    Missed anyone?

    If we could add 2 of Nathan Redmond, Will Keane and Calum McManaman it would look a good bit stronger.

    No point retiring Doyle yet either. Better than the other striking options there bar Long and Walters anyway.

    I'm assuming they won't be about but obviously if they are still available they would be on the list

    Byrne I'll give you, but Hourihane is a big call to go from zero international caps to starting in a qualifier. Surely Arter or McCarthy are far more likely?
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Probably alright - Hourihane's career trajectory reminding me of a Matt Holland / Mark Kinsella type midfielder. McCarthy maybe instead of Whelan - who would be 34 if we qualify for Russia. Not that that would rule him out.

    I suppose Hoolahan has scared us with talk that he'll consider his situation after the Euros. I'm reckon he'll stay on alright though, hopefully.

    I'd say Whelan will only retire when he stops getting selected, so there could be another six or seven campaigns in him.

    Agree totally about Doyle. He's only 32 but I guess this in a pretty major setback. I'd like to think he'll remain an option though.

    It could be a good time to have a little swoop for Bamford also. With the likes of Rashford breaking through out of nowhere for England and his club situation a million miles from where he wanted it to be, he could do with some Marty T.L.C.

    Wouldn't surprise me if O'Neill left after the Euros tbh.

    He can go out on a high, get a decent club job and not have to worry about the fact that we're going to be losing a fair few core players ahead of the next campaign, with few enough players coming through to replace them.
