QuoteSebo.Good news.
Good news for us from the rte website. Vittek is the captain and is a decent player to be missing
Slovakia coach Jan Kocian has called up on-loan Valenciennes striker Filip Sebo for the upcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Wales following the withdrawal of captain Robert Vittek.
Nurnberg hitman Vittek has been forced to pull out of the squad after picking up a knee injury in the Bundesliga encounter with Energie Cottbus and will be on the sidelines for at least six weeks.
Kocian said: 'Robert Vittek's knee was swollen after the league game in Cottbus on Sunday.
'Vittek has damaged the meniscus in his knee and he should have an operation in the next couple of days.
'We cannot count on him for the next two games.
'I have replaced him with another forward, Filip Sebo. I want to give him a chance to fight for his place in the team.'
Sebo joined Valenciennes for the season after failing to make the grade at Rangers.

For those unfamiliar with Celtic fan culture, from about the second half of last season onwards, any time any oppostion player skied a shot,fluffed one, fell on his arse etc etc the cry was 'SEEEEEEBOOO, SEEEEEBOOO!'.
A bit mean like, but bloody hilarious.
The dude abides....
Very good news indeed. Now for the other 10 players...
In additional news - it looks like Ballack is out till the end of October, missing the game in Dublin.

Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.

Vittek is a class player, one who could have caused us a lot of problems in Bratislava. Its great news that he'll be missing.
As for Sebo...
I was at the Old Firm game at Celtic Park back in March. Every time Sebo touched the ball the Celtic fans cheered!
