the mag may be out for the Chile friendly, not 100 per cent yet though.
so anyone who has any interesting questions for duffer in the Q&A please feel free to share them.

What does he feel the reasons are for his alleged (but obvious)contrasting form at club and international level?

What does he feel the reasons are for his alleged (but obvious)contrasting form at international level in friendlies versus competetive games?

Does he dive as well for muff, as he dives when looking for a free or penalty?

How do you react when your form dips? Do you get depressed, or shrug it off? Do you train harder, or rest more? How much of a player's form is physical and how much of it is in his head, in your opinion?

Is there a player, or a number of players, who you model yourself on? Do you try to immitate anyone's technique?

I can only imagine his reaction when he hears that question.

(a) What was the difference in preparation under McCarthy and Kerr and which did you prefer ?
(b) Why do you think we didn't qualify for Germany ?
(c) What was your greatest moment in an Irish jersey ?
(d) And your worst ?
(e) Who will win the World Cup ?

One senior player is quoted as saying that the atmosphere was awful in the Irish team hotel prior to the home game against Switzerland. It has also been said that Brian Kerr was angered when he found out that Pat Devlin entered the team hotel to deliver a pair of boots to you. Would it be fair to say that Kerr's personality slowly eroded the camaraderie that had previously existed within the squad?

would it be fair to say that kerr was in many ways to blame for 9/11?

Not quite.

But I'd certainly agree that he did enough destruction.

As with most thilngs the truth is in the middle. As I have said numerous times both players and manager must take the blame but in international football its the manager who goes not the players.

Some interesting ones there, cheers
we have to ask some quirky questions but the muff one might be going just a bit too far!

would you like to see england win the world cup

Does Jose Mourihno really instruct Chelsea players to dive/cheat? How do you feel now that you are not a regular at Chelsea anymore? How much longer do you see yourself playing for Chelsea? (space open Man Utd left wing soon!) How do you think Steve Staunton will improve Ireland?
