Doyle out and Robbie Brady has been called up to replace him.
Good to see Brady involved too. Not sure why Meyler was called up but makes sense anyway. Brady was on the standby list so would have hoped to get a call-up for any injuries.
Sean St’ Ledger is “unlikely to play” against Germany due to a hamstring pull.
Christ. Who will be our centre-halves? O’Dea…and O’Shea?
FFS. Last thing this forum needed was another KIB Man post about O’Dea.
O’Shea will probably play centre back alongside O’Dea with Stephen Kelly coming in at right back. I think Trap trusts Kelly more than Coleman, even though Coleman has been playing right back for Everton more lately.
McClean is also due to have a scan on a groin injury too.
I’d be very worried about O’Dea v Germany. Little balls threaded in behind him could see him badly exposed. Gulp.
O’Dea will be fine, lads.
Robbie Brady from parkvale Baldoyle ready for action. The whole estate is buzzing but as you would expect it’s more the parkvalians the second cul de sac than those living on the park road that are on tenterhooks. Stuck up cunts from Tuscany park suddenly very quiet
It’s a massive moment for the Sutton-Baldoyle-Howth community.
I particularly pleased for my fellow seaside villagers.
Ah yes, JOS and O’Dea partnering at centre half where they were horrific at Macedonia not too long ago, Ward at left back. Kelly and Westwood, both out of favour at their respective clubs, will make up the back 5. Whelan in midfield, will the semi retired Keane also start? See some talk of a forward being dropped but Keane has always started when fit under Trap.
I really can’t see this game going well at all. Will a heavy defeat signal the end of Trap’s reign?
we should be winning world cups with a back 5 like that
if we changed to S, Reid, JOS, Clark and Wilson - we would hammer everyone
never heard of clark or wilson
who do they play for?
in reality Wales and Scotland have better players than us yet we consistently outperform them thanks to trap
Mate, can you please resist the temptation to bring GB into every comparison sporting or otherwise with the emerald isle.
Scotland and Wales are failed non entities in every sense, political, sporting, cultural etc
Compare us to Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Czech’s and footballing nations of a similar ilk not the failed UK provinces
they all have stronger leagues than us mate- they all support their own leagues- no point in comparing us to them.they also are a lot more technical than us
the welsh is the best comparison when it comes to strength of league,the scots when it comes to technical ability
the last thing the country needs right now is O"Dea

Why is it we produce such poor players do you think?
we do produce good players cunt but we could produce more if:[list]
[]we didnt send our best players off to a technical backwater as children
[]
[]overcame the lack of money to invest in youth football here because the Irish football fan spends their money subsidizing Englishmen football
[]
[*]the weather conditions lead to kick and rush as being the most logical style for most managers.we need better facilities to overcome this
