He could have played Coleman in the same position he did v Portugal at wing back but rejigged the team to move him to centre half and bringing McClean in at wing back, thus leaving Omabamadele out. Omabamadele would most likely not have played v Serbia had Coleman been available.
Can’t remember that even though I was most likely at it. Must have spelled the end for Trap? Before that you’d probably have to go back to the Eoin hand era? We were always in the mix under jack and Mick. From 
to 
I think you are correct on Collins, jesus Coleman fuck, he’s a poor man’s enda Stevens really at this stage of his career
whatll it be
baz
Egan
Duffy
Collins
dock/coleman
mcgrath
Cullen
hendrix
dock/stevens
robbo
idah
edit Egan for o shea
yeah ,he is way off but we are not in a position to choose based on paucity of alternatives.
he did remarkably well in Faro for his experience level tho
Egan like Moran Whelan and mcgath is a certainty to play. I think o shea is injured. I’d imagine McClean is a cert too for his personality as trap used to say
O’Shea broke his ankle away to Portugal…
we had 25k in v qatar, that was a great night altogether, place was hopping and 100% behind the bossman
I get the Ronaldo thing but there is a fierce positivity around the team now that we haven’t had in a few years after that bastard Mccarthy tried to kill any hope at all we had…the Scott Scotty hogan loving cunt
correct…should egan be the LHS … and I’ll watch his receiving of the ball
can Collins play rhs?
Bazunu
Doherty Collins Duffy Egan Stevens
Cullen Hendrick
Ogbenne Idah Robinson
If Portugal push the full backs on like in Faro he’ll look to get Ogbenne/Robinson isolated on Pepe, this worked an absolute charm only Connolly wouldn’t finish a sentence
meant Egan . sorry wrong former kerry player
christ I was calling him John o shea, after paidi as opposed to his da the corner forward

the maclean shuffle
the pointy old left toe and the head down turning inside
I cant wait for spock’s post match tomorrow night…absolute box office at this stage
We’ll beat Portugal 2-1.
We’ve to get stuck in from the very start. I backed us at 8/1.
Has Coleman not played very well his last few games for Ireland?
i cant see Ogbene starting at all,
He’s way too raw for this, ok maybe 20 min to go you need a change of impetus fire him in but im worried that there is something very headless about him in a James McClean sense
id be having hendrix/cullen and mcgrath in there - let Idah run himself into the ground vs Dias for 70/80 mins and CR7 will try and expose Pepe on the turn.
I can see Ogbene after 75 maybe instead of Mcgrath if we need a bit of battering ram stuff to get a 1 1 draw
He has been absolutely awful for Everton
Meh
Unfortunately it looks like his legs are done.
I think like 5 of the Portuguese team are on yellow cards including Dias and jota. They could rest lads tonight to avoid being suspended for Serbia.
I’m getting really confident.
