Except I wouldn't play him there and don't have 'serious doubts'.
Just think he's currently over-rated on here.
You don't play a player you have serious doubts about, in at CM in an important qualifier just to prove himself.

Lads, match starts at 3am here and have to be in work for 9. So if anyone feels like recording it and posting online I'll owe them a nights pints on me!!
Line ups please?
Who Cares?!
Republic of Ireland: S Given, P McShane, D Delaney, S Kelly, M Wilson, L Lawrence or S Coleman, K Andrews, K Foley or K Fahey, K Treacy, R Keane, S Cox.
Northern Ireland: A Blayney, A Thompson, C Cathcart, G McAuley, L Hodson, J Carson, S Clingan, S Davis, J Gorman, W Feeney, J McQuoid.
Interesting line up.
according to RTE Wilson has now being dropped from starting line up...anyone know why?
I have a head only Snow White would love
Volcanic ash I would imagine
I know the Stoke players arrived late and only Wilson was scheduled to start. Perhaps Trap just got confused and called Ward "Wilson" in the presser?
Final team:
Republic of Ireland: S Given, P McShane, D Delaney, S Kelly, S Ward, S Coleman, K Andrews, K Foley, K Treacy, R Keane, S Cox.
Daniel McDonnell on Twitter:
"Stoke lads don't appear to have made it here at all. Ireland subs are: Forde, Keogh, Lawrence, St Ledger, Hunt, O'Dea, Randolph."
Two goalkeepers on the bench? Desperate. Suppose we could throw Forde on up front in an emergency, Doc-style.

maybe displaying giant union flags isn't the best idea if you don't want NI-born nationalist players to play for the FAI? Skin-deep commitment to football for all.
John O'Shea is starting for Manchester United v Juventus tonight at centre half. Hopefully he comes through it OK and is considered for selection on Saturday. We'll need him sharp for Macedonia.
The Nevilles, David Beckham, Nicky Butt and an unnamed footballer also playing. O'Shea and Kuszczak the only non-British players in the team.

When will he learn that McShane cant play - unbelievable pass to the opposition
It's not the flag of Northern Ireland. Do you see Wales and Scotland displaying Union Flags? It's even a rare sight at England games nowadays. I've no problem with NI fans flying it or singing GSTQ. Just don't start whinging to FIFA when nationalists dont want to play for you.
McShane?
