Boring.
Don’t think the Fahey thing was a ruse. According to one site, Fahey, Whelan and Andrews all played in midfield in a 12 a side game which caused confusion.
I hope that useless get Whelan picks up a booking now.

That was last night in Espanyol’s training facility. Fahey was in the ‘first XI’ on Tuesday when they trained in Dublin.
Team along expected lines anyway, just the one ruse to confuse people.
Little worried about tomorrow considering how Russia and Slovakia performed in same fixture.That said sort of team we have to beat if we have aspirations of qualifying.Doyle is probably better option given that I’d imagine they will be defending deep.
Except for at the back we’re at full strength for once so I fancy us to do it handy enough. I predict McGeady will make a show of their defenders.
So predictions then?
I’ll go for 2-0 to Ireland; a goal in each half.
Ditto for me
Andorra 0 Ireland 3
Keane 36’
Duff 52’
Keane 69’
Andorra 0-1 Ireland
A goal after about 20/25 minutes. St Ledger.
Andorra 0
Republic of Ireland 3
Whelan 16’
Keane 58’, 66
I also feel Sledger will nick one tonight as well. Will plum for a 3-0 win though win Keane and Sledger scoring in the first 20 to set us on our way and Long bagging one off the bench
Stadium is in a class setting, but tiny.
Andorra 0 - 2 Ireland
Keane 30’
Whelan 55’
Did I hear right, 850 capacity?
Looks about right from what I saw last night.
The stand reminds of the one behind the goals in Rathbane.
Will they fill it?
The Irish out there will it seems. Apparently there’s plenty out there without tickets, some booking into hotels with restricted viewing of the stadium and plenty more staying in Barca altogether.
A compatriot of mine had booked the flights to Barca but didn’t bother going when the game got switched to Andorra.
We’re going drinking the shit of it for the evening now instead.
I think we’re being far too optimistic. The only chance we created in the last 2 matches was a header for Keane against Slovakia. Russia only beat this crowd 1-0, and they have pissed all over us - twice.
