Ireland Vs. China?

[eoinh]

I bet the likes of Colm, eoinh, and every other l@nger who chooses a Setanta Cup game over an international, will all be looking for tickets when the French come to town.

I dont go to ireland games. I have no interest in them.

Can't see anybody going up to this one from Cork as our opening Setanta Cup game against Shels is on the same night.

Typical FAI.

I think I'll be watching the Setanta game rather than that non-entity of a friendly.

Is the China game definitely on Tuesday the 29th?
If so, why?
For Sky Sports?
Can't seen Brian Kerr getting anything new from watching Switzerland v Cyprus or Israel v France for that matter.
He's unlikely to want to fly straight back to Israel just for that game anyway.

Don't know but if you look at last couple of years most of our friendlies are on Tuesday & only reason has to be for Sky Sports.

I read in one of the papers at the weekend that Kerr choose to have the games on a Tuesday as it allows the players to get back to their clubs a day earlier and keeps their managers sweet.

It also facilitated his trips to watch some other teams in the group compete against each other on the Wednesday but I can't see him needing to go to such effort on this particular match date.
I hope it's on Wednesday because the game may struggle to sell anyway without having to compete with a domestic fixture.
