Roy Keanes book shouldnt have anything to do with the game.

Agreed. He should have waited a week to release it then.

He wanted everyone including the RTE to row in when he was involved in the Ireland set up but now he's not the bitterness comes back

Brady was born bitter. Absolutely shocking pundit.

It would be nice and give people around the country a better chance to go see Ireland play, but sadly I'd say they just want more money and they have pumped a lot into the Aviva.

Where would meet UEFA approval though for an International? Tallaghtfornia (shudders) still in Dublin, RDS still in Dublin, only other place I can think of would be Thomond.

This is one awkward build-up. There's f*ck all to be said in regard to the match as they know nothing about Gibraltar so instead, they're just having awkward Roy Keane book talk. How ironic that they were criticising Roy Keane's book for being released this week yet all they've done is talk about it

Extremely. He said Kenny was very annoyed with Keane's comments....didnt seem that way to me. Really awful buildup so far....regardless if they have nothing about the opposition to talk about

Roy Keane is GOD........

legend for ireland and united. how many irish players have done it all like he has?

FourFourRED

The irony of Brady describing Keane as being unprofessional to his employer and he acts like that on television then for RTÉ. He was embarrassing.

Diabhal Beag

When Brady made the "plastic Paddy" link he backtracked so fast he actually fell down the stairs

You don't need to meet any major criteria for these games afaik. Look at the shít-holes that the likes of Andorra, San Marino etc. play in. Most LOI grounds would probably be adequate. I think Tallaght, the Showgrounds or Turners cross would be great for this game. This game probably wouldn't fill Thomond Park to be honest.

yabadabado

looking at our starting 11,do any of ye think we will see Meyler pushing up more centrally into midfield or will he stay at RB?

Some of the goals Poland scored against Gibraltar were hilarious!!

No fear of us being able to do the same

Charlie19

Any chance of Poland getting a result against the Germans?

I'm hoping no.

Looking at the defending by Gibraltar against Poland, I think we will in fact run up a cricket score. The likes of Andorra and San Marino are usually relatively well drilled at the back to keep the score lowish but Gibraltar defended like statues against Poland.

I want us to have a high scoring game but I don't want to get my hopes up...they have been dashed many times by our football team ha!

Seems to have a bit of a chippy on his shoulder.

I'm very surprised Gibraltar's anthem isn't GTSQ, they have their own singing about Gibraltar. Their official flag doesn't have a union jack on it.

It makes Northern Ireland look a bit unusual now continuing to use GTSQ given Scotland and Wales don't either, if even Gibraltar can have their own anthem why can't NI?

I read a brilliant comment in the Gaurdian recently:

Since Poland have just played Gibraltar and are up against Germany next, can we say they are between a rock and a hard place?

:pac:

FourFourRED

Going with 4-0.

Everyone else?

What's important to me is that firstly we obviously win by a few goals, but also that we don't concede any.

Gibraltar will score a flukey wonder goal or we'll score an own goal.

Can't believe they unfroze Michael D for these peasants

I know the FAI are contractually obliged to hold games here but I think it would be fantastic to see this played at a packed LOI ground instead of a 30% capacity in the AVIVA.

Thomand park maybe

Still too big imo, Tolka Park maybe ?

Turners Cross would be ideal.

Gibson looks like he's just escaped from a mental hospital

Brady should be hammered for that 'Plastic Paddies' comment....

To everyone saying this will be a cakewalk, just remember, if you're old enough - Lichtenstein 1995. Never forget.

"The ball just would not go in!!!"

Great pass.

Jaysus that keeper can't seem to kick the ball well, I'd do a better job myself!

Not bad...

Ah my little Lichtenstein 1995 citation worked then...
