I'm more curious at this stage. It looks Doyle won't make it. Morrison is a cert for the chop. Assuming Kenny and O'Brien pass fitness tests. Kilbane and O'Shea are both gonna start in some capacity. Mark my words. I think this is the side he'll go with...
Kenny
Finnan, St. Ledger, O'Brien, O'Shea
McGeady,Douglas,Reid (A.Quinn coming on at some stage), Kilbane
Duff, Keane
I think O'Brien is injured (not sure if he is faking itOriginally Posted by dr_peepee
to be honest .. its very hard to see what his team will be .. when you factor in the injuries and odd thinking that goes on in his head. Can't believe he would start two uncapped players in the middle .. but you reap what you sow not blooding players in friendlies.
Kenny
Finnan, St. Ledger, Mc Shane, O'Shea
McGeady,Quinn,Reid, Duff
Lee, Keane[/QUOTE]
I'd rather have McShane and St Ledger in defence than O'Brien. I hope he's injured or dropped. Who realistically can play at LB? Excluding O'Shea and Kilbane.

EDIT SEEN CARSLEY IS NOW IN THE SQUAD
Given the squad "Gaffer" has picked I would like to see:-
----------------Henderson
Finnan ----McShane----Sledge-------Kelly
McGeady--Carsley (c)----Andy Reid----Duff
---------------Doyle
------------------Alan Lee
I know Kelly is normally on the other side, but I would rather have him than John O'Shea... in fact I would rather have Ronan flippin Keating at left back than O'Shea at the moment!

----------------Henderson
Finnan ----McShane----St Ledger-------Foley
McGeady--Carsley-----Quinn----Andy Reid----Duff
---------------Keane
I'd have dropped Keano if Doyle was fit. Our defence is inexperienced but cannot do worse than Cyprus. Douglas to come on after half time.

At this stage and assuming Kenny and Andy O'Brien are injured
I think it will be
Henderson
Kelly O'Shea McShane Finnan
McGeady Carsley Kilbane Alan O'Brien
Duff Keane
I would pick
Henderson
Finnan O'Shea McShane Kelly
McGeady Carsley Douglas Kilbane
Duff
Keane
Christ that's a weak side
Waldorf
Mickey Moose Beaker Fozzie Bear Bert
Big Bird Animal Ernie Ms Piggy
Clinton Morrison Kermet.
Animal will give us a bit of bite in midfield. Andy O'Brien would be in there, only according to Aertel 'he rocked his ankle,' cheeky b***tard. How dare he pull out after the sh*t he displayed on saturday.
According to RTE TV news Kilbane is left back, O Shea & Mc Shane CB and Finnan Right back. Mc Geady, Doyle, Kenny definitely out
Gone with Andy Reid on the left ??
I heard that the confirmed back 4 has Kelly in, not Kilbane.
Yeh, wearing that pink suit doesn't seem to restrict his movement.
Is that on RTE TV news or website news?
On RTE radio news sports update 13.45
Also confirmed that McGeady is extremly doubtfull
Are Doyle and Ireland defo out?
So who's actually left? Whatever about his management skills, the man's a jinx.
Jesus, I will be called up next
Team should now be
Hendersen
Kelly
O'Shea
McShane
Finnan
A Reid
A Quinn
L Carsley
J douglas
D Duff
R Keane
that is a shocking shocking team - if they won it would be the biggest upset for many a year
Another dark day beckons for Irish Soccer as a whole tommorow, mounting injuries, low morale, clueless tactics, bewildered fans, and Strong oppostion, I predict 3-0 to the Czechs.. God its depressing
That's old news, was on the 11.00 am sports bulliten.
Pity Staunton isn't old news!
