I see Diego has been called up to replace Kaka. It's amazing that he didn't even make the squad in the first place. He'd be the best player in the vast majority of international teams.

You're thinking of the GAA, the FAI could never pull those off on their own.

I see Potter is out now with a stomach bug, Glenn Whelan called up.

**jmurphyc** · 06/02/2008, 11:52 AM

Yeah, I hope Whelan gets a bit of a run out. I have yet to see him play but he sounds like a good prospect and the kind of player we could do with.

Is anyone taping this game? Is there anyway I could get a copy of it if so?

**bellavistaman** · 06/02/2008, 4:30 PM

any live link to the game on the net lads?

**Torn-Ado** · 06/02/2008, 4:42 PM

I seen a clip on RTE website of the Brazilian kids in Gort.

Nifty little f**kers. Another ten years and we might have a few naturally talented South Americans doing the business for us.

The Irish quarter in Digbeth in Birmigham city centre, off the Bullring, lots of traditional Irish pubs (not these made up pub chain type ones) and also home to the Irish centre which has bars and functions rooms.

Great atmosphere and good beer!
