That's what he's saying to the media but it's obviously not the actual reason. He'll have known his teams for these games in advance and tonight we need legs in the middle of the park to execute his tactics.

We will bypass the middle of park with hoof football.

Only in Ireland would you get reprimanded for saying "Christ" on air :pac:

I'm as disappointed as anyone that Wes isn't starting, but I'm sick of the panel beating the subject to death.

it's the only thing they have talked about. He's not starting, could be a good impact sub hopefully but move on lads

I'm talking for the defensive side of things. You all want to be like Iceland, this is how they do it, minimal possession and high energy.

FixdePitchmark · 09-10-2017 7:19pm

The Wes thing going on too long.

O'neill on inside and knows reasons.

I'm not a fan of O'neill - but the Rte thing on Wes a joke at this stage. It was a joke 2 years ago.

I think Darragh reprimanded him mainly for saying something unscripted and from the heart.

It's nights like this that you'd really miss Bill

Daragh just comes across as so generic

Bloody hell, thought he had insulted someones mother or something like that. Gawd I miss Bill.

FixdePitchmark · 09-10-2017 7:24pm

maybe it was blasphemous so he had to say something ?

Anyway - nice to see a bit of life on panel

Has it not occurred to the panel that O Neill rested Arter against Moldova with this game in mind?

Diabhal Beag · 09-10-2017 7:26pm

Hope we absolute murder these jokesters

Duff · 09-10-2017 7:27pm

Used to love when Bill would say something controversial and stir the pot, then sit back let the lads go at it.

Wheeliebin30 · 09-10-2017 7:27pm

Think I'll switch on at 80 mins.

Keep the hatred and bitterness coming, be delighted when we go through

FixdePitchmark · 09-10-2017 7:30pm

I have been bull****ing myself a while now - they are a much better team - even Allen at another level to rest of our team.

PhilipsR · 09-10-2017 7:31pm

Just don't see how we can go here and win.

I really hope we do but don't see it. We're not gonna get on the ball at all.

Hoping for a Welsh red card. Might give us a chance.

brilou23 · 09-10-2017 7:31pm

If wales win there will be alot nervous sheep come closing time.

Arghus · 09-10-2017 7:32pm

I hope we do it, but I think it's going to be a big, big ask.

The proverbial "hand grenade" is what he used call it. Ah hes well missed

TheCitizen · 09-10-2017 7:38pm

Wes can come on after the hour mark and may make a more important impact from there.

Come closing time?? The sheep surrounding the village i'm from were in a perpetual state of nervousness

sonic85 · 09-10-2017 7:42pm

I'm looking forward to this but can't see it being a positive end to the campaign. I'd say we're looking at a draw - either 0-0 or 1-1.

By the looks of the team it's not going to be pretty but lets hope for the best. COYBIG!

Guy:Incognito · 09-10-2017 7:42pm

Your man at the end at the bottom of the screen hadn't a breeze of the anthem till the last 3 words

Bridge93 · 09-10-2017 7:42pm

Welsh anthem one of the best

It will be interesting given Wales can still not get a play off place due to the fair play rules.

They'll have to be conscious not to add more yellows or reds in the game.
