Do we plan on having a manager by then?
Roddy Collins is free
That's the right price for the FAI thenRoddy Collins is free
Where will home be?
MOT
Lansdowne Road, at this rate.
I'd be suprised if anyone other than Don Givens will be in charge for the match against Sweden. Why they want to play us I don't know.
I hope the Swedes remembered to get Delaney's signature on the contract.
I've no real appetite for friendlies - Maybe Kerr's highlight was the 1-0 win over Holland in a friendly when Holland were more concerned about avoiding injuries? Neither the result or performance means a god damn, would like to see new faces though.
Irish like to play down our friendly wins but Holland were all out for the win against us. It was more like a competitive match than a friendly and they were booed off the park in the end. The players were playing for their places as it was the last game before the European Champs and a lot of the team that started against us were dropped. Our win against Holland was a lot bigger than England's against Argentina, that's for sure.
The Swedes will visit Lansdowne Road on Wednesday, 1 March with Holland due in Dublin on 16 August.
Couldn't agree more. And what a performance. One of the best I've seen us put in.
"...and it's Charlie Chaplin on the wing..."
Heard on the radio that the Dutch friendly will be scraped if we draw Holland in the Euro qualifiers group or if either team has a competitive fixture set for that day.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
And the defending for Keane's goal? They just watched him and let him shoot! Holland are never 'all out' to win a friendly except if they are playing Belgium or Germany.
What's the chances of getting tickets for both of these? Will it sell-out?.

depending on where we play it and if we have a manager ...my guess is you'ill be able to get tickets...no fupping world cup no problem with tickets
Every player wants to play in the European Championships and if Reiziger, Sneijder and Kluivert had've played well against us they would have started the opening match against Germany. They knew if they didn't perform there was a big chance of someone taking their place on the big stage so every Dutch player was up for it. Their reaction after the match said it all.
There's no point in playing down these results. We got some excellent results in friendlies and not every team was just worried about injuries. The Czech's are no different to us when it comes to friendlies. They were over 20 games unbeaten before we beat them and Baros didn't shy away from celebrating his goal.
god forbid we would actually play some away friendlies...we struggle away from home every campaign....its always home friendlies..i take it the fai just want the money..
