One of Kozak's better efforts

Given MON's penchant for sticking with players he has previous with then he'll almost certainly be giving the Dunne-O'Shea combo another whirl at some point. Not convinced by JOS either, he's pants when up against any kind of decent attacking team. Not a whole lot of quality in the current CB options: Dunne/O'Shit/Clark/Sledge/O'Dea/Duffy/Delaney

Cheer up Zatman, whatever happens, with a MON/Keane combo there's almost certainly going to be fireworks, at least we have that to look forward to. I'd rather have those 2 wingers playing rather then having Walters or Cox masquerading as wingers as was the case under the old regime. Besides, Robbie Brady is looking decent, he'll surely pick him. Nonetheless it's a big job, Ireland are well stocked in midfield but looking poor enough in central defence and up front, not sure even a Guus Hiddink could sort that out. Not a whole lot of talent coming out of the underage setup bar the Villa starlets, hopefully O'Neill will be able to pinch some of Norn Iron's young talent to plug the gaps

O'Neill & Keane's first disagreement over the training bibs

All the action was at Lansdowne Rd today in the FAI Cup final between Sligo Rovers & Drogheda Utd. 1-1 with 5 minutes to go, one terrible ref decision and 8 minutes of injury later it was 3-2 to Sligo, some game!

Are we getting any? Even the tail end? Just cork ....no loss ;D That's just mean. Don't mind what the lad from outer Dublin says about the PROC

Bring out the beast!

Oh Kingy, you so angry. It's like Tony OD pissed in his chips.

McGeady will take us to Euro 2016

Struggling to stay awake here, can see Kakistan (© John Giles) getting an equaliser.

Uh-oh looks like Gibson's race is run, hopefully nothing serious.

Iceland winning 1-0!

Doyler made his name in the LoI on the wing but that was years ago now and being the target man is his game these days. McGeady or McClean should be on instead of him and or/Stokes. Noel King is quite the contrarian in his team selection.

Noel King's team v Kazakhstan has just been announced: Forde,Coleman,Dunne, O'Shea,Wilson,Gibson,McCarthy,Reid, Stokes, Doyle, Keane #IrlKaz The guitar playing pie eater returns! Clark dropped.

Kelly, Doyler & Delaney in the line-up tonight. Do not want

Someone give us a GIF of that free kick asap

Pretty sure King has his critics at U21 level and was/is going to be replaced anyway, there's no chance he'll get the senior job on a FT basis. Wouldn't be adverse to seeing him give out a few competitive caps to the kids.

Clearly a professional headwrecker. Get with her and give it a few months then you'll be the unfortunate boyfriend in a situation like this.

You'll have a Solicitor's letter through your letterbox for that BOF Seems like MON is the people's choice, can't say I'm too enthused.

Pfft Ireland can do better then that spoofer. Its been confirmed that lovable billionaire Denis O' Brien will continue to pony up a fat cheque to attract a big name

For all his hype, the jury is still out on McCarthy. He has put in some ok performances in friendlies but nothing spectacular, my suspicion is he isn't good enough to play in a 442. I'd also drop one of JOS or Dunne for Clark, all capable of howlers but has shown he can be decent in the green. 1-1 tonight I reckon, Trap to cling on 'til the inevitable annihilation in Cologne. Crazy to think the Habsburgs don't have Weimann as a regular starter.

SOON
